Telfair Garden
Souillac · Savanne
Telfair Garden is at Souillac, a village at the very south of Mauritius. Planted with tropical vegetation, it runs down to the shore, where the public beach of the same name lies.
What sets it apart
From the garden, a coastal path leads to a wild sandy beach, facing the waves that crash against the nearby cliffs. A short walk along the coast then reaches Gris Gris, with its cliffs and its views out to sea. Tradition has it that the poet Robert Edward Hart was especially fond of this garden; the museum that bears his name is a few minutes away.
