Hunting in Mauritius
Tropical Rusa Deer & Wild Boar Adventure
Mauritius offers a uniquely lush and intimate hunting experience set against the backdrop of tropical island landscapes—think rugged forested plateaus, volcanic plains, and dramatic southern hills. Your quarry? The elusive Javan Rusa deer is a trophy species renowned for its challenging camouflage and elusive nature. Wild boars also provide a hearty secondary source of food. At dawn or dusk, as you stalk through dense hill forests or sweeping fields, you will find the pace both relaxed and rewarding.
Guided hunts here include classic spotandstalk, highseat ambushes, and even traditional drives—especially for Rusa stags and pigs. Terrain varies daily across diverse biotopes, ranging from jungle edges to swampy marshes near rivers. Accommodations range from refined private lodges to beachside luxury resorts, so days of hunting can transition to evenings by the ocean in style.
Huntable Species in Mauritius include:
- JavanRusa deer (Java deer) – primary quarry, capable of goldenmedal trophies
- Wild boar (locally “brown pigs”) – often encountered during deer beaters or drives
- Small game & birds: francolin, pheasant, partridge, guinea fowl, hares
Mauritius combines tropical scenery with considered hunting traditions, making it ideal for travelers who want a rewarding quarry and variety without sacrificing comfort. This is a safari that is both exotic and accessible, perfectly blended with beach stays, family time, or ocean adventures.
