Mauritius - Central Mauritius

Two districts make up central Mauritius: Plaines Wilhems to the south and west of centre and Moka to the north and east.

At around 600m above sea level, the centre of the island is noticeably cooler and wetter than the coast. Temperatures are generally 3–5°C lower so a visit to the centre can be a welcome break from the heat of the beaches.

The central plateau is characterised by extinct volcanic craters, lakes, rivers and waterfalls. Some of the island’s most spectacular scenery lies within the Black River Gorges National Park, which protects Mauritius’s remaining forests and offers good opportunities for hiking.

Another attraction which draws tourists to the centre is the abundance of discount clothing and souvenir shops in the plateau towns. These towns are largely residential, linked to each other and to Port Louis by the motorway that cuts through the centre of the island.
