Mauritius proposes an array of museums that will teach you a great deal about the history and culture of the country. As for the private estates, they enable you to briefly leave the golden sandy beaches behind you and plunge yourself into lush green settings, with the possibility to enjoy country walks, try out 4W Driving or quad biking, visit different agricultural exploitations, discover a wide range of animal species and even have a go at hunting.

An original way of discovering all types of animal species, exotic birds, monkeys, tortoises and even, crocodiles, is to visit the several wildlife parks on the island.
As fauna and flora complements each other, the island is home to a large number of botanical gardens that are particularly well-maintained. A special mention must be made for the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, an essential visit.
