Casela World of Adventures Mauritius: Safari & Big Cats Entry

Zebras, Ostriches & White Rhinos: A Day at Casela's 25-Acre Safari Park

You get entry to a 25-acre nature park with an open-air safari ride through live animals, a walk-through aviary, Big Cats Kingdom, petting farm, children's play area, and the Tulawaka coaster ride. The park's layout means you control your pace between stops, though activities are subject to availability and confirmed closer to your date. Bring closed shoes and plan for a flexible day: how long you stay depends on what you want to do.

The experience

The sound hits you first, not roaring, but the low rumble of the safari truck engine as it rolls toward the savannah. You're at Casela World of Adventures, spread across 25 acres in the west of Mauritius between the Tamarin mountain and Trois Mamelles, and the animals here are not behind glass. Zebras graze openly, ostriches stride past, white rhinoceros move through the grassy domain, and Java deer roam freely alongside impalas, antelopes, kudus and wildebeest. The park sits in Yemen, a section of land where indigenous and exotic plants grow between the wildlife. It's not a typical zoo setup, and the truck route itself is bumpy enough that you feel the landscape rather than just observe it.

After the safari ride, you walk through a separate aviary for about an hour, moving at your own pace through 1,500 bird species. Then there's the viewing areas: pygmy hippos, camels, llamas, giraffes (though this one closes Tuesdays and Thursdays), and the Big Cats Kingdom, where a basic grasp of English or French helps if you want to participate in the feline activities. The petting farm is there for anyone wanting closer contact, and the children's playground keeps younger visitors occupied between stops. The Tulawaka Gold Coaster ride is included: a toboggan-style slide that's new to the park. A 4D cinema rounds out the day, though the exact order and timing of activities depends on what you want to prioritize and what's available on your date.

The park doesn't rush you. Duration is flexible. You decide how long to spend at each section, though the staff recommend allowing 45 minutes to an hour between activities if you're doing several. Closed shoes are compulsory (they mean it, you won't get into certain areas without them), and outside food isn't permitted except for baby food. Some activities have age or fitness requirements, and a few (like the camel ride and Signature Safari Experience) aren't recommended for expectant mothers or people with limited mobility. The bumpy safari truck itself is worth knowing about if you have a sensitive back. Admission is included in your ticket. If you've booked a transfer, pickup is handled as part of the package.
