Mauritius is the getaway I did not know I always needed, and recently had the opportunity to visit La Plantation d'Albion, where my adventure began on the sandy dunes of Mauritius' west coast, writes Simangele Legodi.
JOHANNESBURG - With the festive season around the corner, and South Africans able to enter 106 countries either without visas, or obtain them with ease, reasons not to visit Mauritius are few and far between.
I recently had the opportunity to visit Club Med's La Plantation d'Albion, situated on the sandy dunes of Mauritius' west coast, where 21 hectares of beautiful gardens meet the rich coral sea. There is an overwhelming must-see list in Mauritius, but there were a few locations worth mentioning:Never in my life have I seen a tortoise so large. They were shy and hiding at first, so we had to look for them - despite their size, they can be surprisingly difficult to spot!The Seychelles archipelago's uninhabited atoll of Aldabra is home to the tortoises at Chamarel 7 Colored Earth.
Not only is it near one of the most popular tourist destinations in Mauritius, the Chamarel Seven Coloured Earths, but the Rhumerie de Chamarel has its own micro-climate, making it the perfect sustainability hub. Nepal was said to have dreamed of the lake and later discovered it. Its sacred nature makes it a staple for those embarking on Hindu pilgrimages.THE LAND OF 7 COLOURS
