Mauritius Casela Park visit - pros / cons - safari, giraffe, zebra, goat, many animals
If you are a lover of animals, just like me - this video is for you. In fact, raw emotions of it will probably make you happy. It can also make you informed about one of the most recommended places in Mauritius - Casela Animal Park and Nature Resort. Casela is an amazing park of nature and recreation, spread over an area of 250 hectares off the western coast of Mauritius, near the resort of Flic-en-Flac. It was founded in 1979 as a way to save land with unique vegetation from agricultural development and to preserve rare species of birds that live here. Over time, the collection of animals and plants grew, the park was opened to visitors, and it became one of the most visited places in Mauritius.
You can buy tickets to the Casela Park at the box office like we did, especially if you visit it on the week day. Watch my video to find out pros and cons about the park (as of 2022)
What can you see in Casela Park in Mauritius? My aim is to cover the main things in this video, so give it a watch.
Casela Park on the island of Mauritius is both a zoo, a safari park and a wildlife park. Its main feature is that it is divided into two parts, “park” and “wild”. In the park part, animals and birds live in enclosures, and you can look at them through the bars, and in the wild they roam freely.
All the guides say that it will take several hours to explore it. Several, huh? In my case it took at least seven. Unlike conventional zoos, here visitors have the opportunity to interact with some of the animals, and the list includes more than just pets from the Petting Zoo. I had interactions with giraffes (you have to buy food for them, costs about 200 Mauritian rupees), zebras (that was during safari), giant turtles, and of course, baby goats cubs (the bottle of milk is about 50 Mauritian rupees, I highly recommend that). But let me not spoil the whole experience for you and let you enjoy the vlog.
Please, write in comments which animals did you enjoy the most and anything important about Casela that I forgot to mention.
