Things to do in  Grand Baie

The oldest botanical garden in the Southern Hemisphere, Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden in Mauritius was built in 1770 and stretches over some 91 acres (37 hectares). It's known for its big pond of giant water lilies. Its lush gardens, including ebony trees and sugar cane, are a reminder of the nation’s colonial influences.
