Overview

Tour Type:Nature & Wildlife Attraction
TripAdvisor Rating:4.7 / 5
Location:Le Morne, Mauritius

Le Morne Brabant is the mountain that rises at the south-west tip of Mauritius, above one of the island's finest lagoons. It was a refuge for runaway slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008 as a symbol of resistance to slavery. The mountain reaches 556 metres, and a guided hike to the top rewards you with some of the best views in Mauritius. A memorial at the foot of the mountain tells the story of the site.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to book in advance?

Is this suitable for families?

Yes, this is a popular spot for visitors of all ages, though we recommend checking accessibility for young children or those with mobility needs.

Can I climb it without a guide?

Part of the trail crosses private land, and access rules for the upper section can change. A licensed guide is recommended for the summit, and we can book one for you.

How hard is the summit hike?

It takes about 3 to 4 hours there and back, with steep and rocky sections near the top. A good level of fitness is needed.

When is the best time to visit?

Go in the morning for cooler temperatures, softer light and fewer visitors.

How do I book?

Send us an enquiry on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your date and the number of guests. We check availability, confirm the price in writing and only then ask you to pay.

Can you arrange a hotel pick-up?

Yes. Tell us where you are staying and we will quote a return transfer. The price depends on the distance from your hotel.

What should I bring?

Comfortable clothes and closed shoes, sunscreen, a hat and water. A light jacket is useful in the cooler months from June to September.
