YOUR HOST AND GUIDE
Ivan, your host and guide, born in Mauritius, has since childhood, spent most of his winters hunting in the island’s forests and his summers, deep sea fishing. Today, he wants to share that passions and experience with you.
HUNTING
Mauritius, better known for its beaches, is also a fantastic venue for hunting Rusa deer, commonly known as the Java deer.
Rusa deer was introduced to Mauritius by the Dutch in 1639. Having no predators, it thrived and today lives in abundance in our forests. A big male weigh on average 120 kgs and has horns measuring up to one meter.
Rusa Deer
Hunting in Mauritius is a prized sport enjoyed by some. Recently hunters from abroad have had the opportunity to hunt this magnificent game in the endemic forest covered mountains. Rare and almost unique, hunting the Java deer is one of the most thrilling forms of hunting in the world. Although the deer remains the prized game, you can also hunt wild pigs, hares and different birds such as the guinea fowl, partridge and pheasant.

East & South Coast
West Coast
Our hunting area covers thousands of acres, from the hills of the East and South coast, offering breathtaking views, to the African like savanna plains of the West coast, via the dense tropical forest of the high central grounds, Ivan will take you to different game reserves, offering you an interesting diversity in charm and atmosphere unique to each one.
Hunting is practiced with rifles or bows, either from watched towers with beaters and hunting dogs or by stalking, either way making it an unforgettable experience.
Ivan will offer you and your guests an exclusive hunting trip in some of those beautiful domains across the island.
We offer two ways of hunting in Mauritius:
- The first is the driven hunt which comprises of approximately forty Mauritian hunters, a hundred hunting dogs, and around forty beaters. The hunt is then followed by a traditional lunch.
- The second is a walk & stalk hunt with rifle or bow and arrow. In both cases you will be personally guided and advised by Ivan.
We utelise two different areas on the island; the first, located in the West, is the largest of the island, with its 5,000 hectares, and is reminiscent of the African Savannah. The second area, to the East of the island, is the birthplace of the Rusa deer, which landed in Mauritius in the 17th century. Covering an area of 3,500 hectares, this area produces the most beautiful trophies of the island thanks to its luxurious and abundant vegetation.
