• Le Morne - Le Morne Cultural Landscape, a rugged mountain on the southwest coast of Mauritius, served as a refuge for runaway slaves (maroons) during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The mountain’s remote, wooded cliffs provided protection, allowing the escaped slaves to establish small settlements in caves and at the summit. Today, Le Morne stands as a powerful symbol of the struggle for freedom and the sacrifices made by slaves from Africa, Madagascar, India, and Southeast Asia. Mauritius, once a key stop in the eastern slave trade, became known as the “Maroon republic” due to the large number of slaves who sought refuge on the mountain.

Nestled within the UNESCO-listed Morne Brabant mountain, “Haras du Morne” invites visitors to discover stunning landscapes on horseback or by carriage. As they ascend this iconic mountain, they will enjoy breathtaking 360° views—northward towards Benitiers Island and southward to Fourneau Island, both surrounded by a magical lagoon. The lush, vibrant forest enhances the serene experience.

Exploring off the beaten path, visitors may encounter wild stags, attracted by the connection between the horse and the wildlife. Afterwards, they can enjoy a refreshing ride along the shoreline, with their horse splashing in the waves. For an unforgettable conclusion, they can unsaddle and swim with their horse in the warm waters—a cherished daily ritual for these natural swimmers. Guides from Haras du Morne are delighted to capture these special moments with the visitor’s camera.
