Réserve naturelle de Grande Montagne
In the centre-east of Rodrigues, Grande Montagne reserve is an ecological restoration project led since the 1980s by the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation and the forestry services. On around twenty hectares replanted with native species, signed trails lead to a lookout over the east coast. The guided tour starts at the Dominique Farla information centre and lets you see the Rodrigues fody and warbler, the Rodrigues fruit bat, Aldabra tortoises and extremely rare plants such as café marron. A great introduction to the island's unique nature.
