Grande Montagne Nature Reserve
Réserve de Grande Montagne
The island's largest native forest reserve, home to Rodrigues fruit bats, endemic birds and a hilltop viewpoint.
The reserve was restored by the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation and planted with many endangered native species. Visitors may spot Rodrigues fruit bats, Rodrigues weavers and warblers. Trails within the reserve run about 2 km, and the lookout at the top overlooks the lagoon and the east coast. A visitor center sits at the entrance. Entry is free, but guided tours must be booked in advance.
