Explore the colourful Seven Coloured Earths
Some experiences are difficult to describe until you are standing inside them. explore the colourful Seven Coloured Earths is, for many travellers to Mauritius, exactly this kind of moment — set against Chamarel, Mauritius, one of the region's most quietly extraordinary backdrops.
Every detail — timing, transport, guiding — is arranged in advance, so the day itself is left free simply to happen.
This is arranged as an add-on to your wider Mauritius itinerary, timed around your lodge stays and existing game drives or excursions so that it slots into your journey rather than competing with it. It is the kind of addition that turns a very good itinerary into an unforgettable one.
Good to Know
Availability, exact timings and pricing depend on your itinerary, lodge and season — your Finders & Keepers Safaris specialist will confirm details and slot this experience into your existing day-by-day plan.
A landform that should not exist
Seven distinct shades of volcanic sand, sitting in the same dunes and refusing to blend even after decades of rain. The colours come from basalt weathering at different rates, and they show most clearly in the low, flat light of early morning or late afternoon — at midday the contrast washes out and the photographs disappoint. It is a short stop, and it is worth timing rather than fitting in.
