In the Southwest of Mauritius lies the island's biggest natural reserves, the Black River Gorges National Park. Covering an area of 6,754 hectares, it dates back to 1994, when it was established to safeguard what remained of the native Mauritian forests, and to protect the island's endangered species, like the Mauritian flying fox and the Mauritian parakeet.

Île aux Aigrettes is an island in the Southeast of Mauritius, and although it is quite small, it is home to a multitude of rare and diverse plants and animal species. Being a nature reserve since 1965, this islet attracts tourists and locals alike, both of whom come to see the famous pink pigeons, giant tortoises and the last surviving piece of Mauritian dry coastal forest.

Standing tall at 204.68 metres, Avala Tower is a significant telecommunications landmark on Mount Avala. Originally completed in 1965, it faced destruction during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999 but was rebuilt and reopened in April 2010. Today, Avala is a hub of activity, featuring a restaurant, an ethno-gallery, a souvenir shop, sports facilities, and an outdoor gym. The tower is open year-round, with varying hours for summer and winter. Enjoy idyllic walking trails through the heavily forested Mount Avala, with the best visiting times being spring or early summer for weekend events and live performances. Winter transforms the landscape into a snowy wonderland, offering stunning views of Belgrade from the observation deck on clear days.
