Casela Nature Park, on the west coast of Mauritius, is a nature reserve and an incredible amusement park with a total area of 14 hectares. Since 1979 every day it is visited by thousands of inquisitive tourists. Casela has become home to a variety of animals: turtles, peacocks, parrots, monkeys and others.
The most interesting is that only among the birds 140 species live here and this from all five continents. And the main thing is that only in this reserve one can see one of the rarest birds on the planet - the Pink Dove or Mauritian Pink Pigeon. This is a paradise for those who are crazy about exotic and all kinds of entertainment. Speaking of the latter, there are a lot of them: a children's farm, a meeting with big cats, a walk with giraffes, a safari, a trip on segway, buggy, a flight on lianas. But the special pride of the Kasel Park are tame cheetahs and lions, the beauty and majesty of which will not leave anyone indifferent.
Excursion in the Casela Park
In case you are going on a trip with children, be sure to check out the petting farm. Here you have the opportunity to admire near by goats, black swans, bambi, and birds. Animals are so used to tourists that you can safely approach them and feed them with weed. It is impossible not to mention a walk-safari. Imagine only: you go on an open bus, and near you run ostriches, zebras.
The main highlight of the park is a meeting with big cats, leopards, lions and tigers. For 4 euros you can watch them, for 15 euros you will be allowed to pat them, and for 60 euros you will not only have a one hour walk with predators accompanied by a trainer, but will also issue a license that confirms that you have experience with these cute little animals .
