Francois Leguat Tortoise and Cave Reserve

François Leguat Tortoise and Cave Reserve, located on Rodrigues Island in Mauritius, is a unique eco‑attraction dedicated to wildlife conservation and geological exploration. Visitors can walk among hundreds of giant tortoises, explore limestone caves, and enjoy guided tours that highlight the island’s natural heritage. Notably, the reserve was established to reintroduce giant tortoises to Rodrigues, restoring an ecosystem that had lost its native species centuries ago. The caves, formed over millions of years, add a dramatic backdrop to the reserve’s biodiversity.
