About the Aldabra Tortoises

Following their global popularity, particularly in Europe, North America and East Asia, the poaching of wild tortoises led to the extinction of many species. At one point, the giant Aldabra tortoises had almost completely disappeared from Mauritius.

La Vanille Nature Park has been one of the largest associations catering to Aldabra tortoises in the world. Nearly 1,000 specimens populate the park and are part of the conservation program. The park’s mission is to protect and care for these endangered species.

About the Lemurs

Found in only one area on Earth- in Madagascar and the nearby Comoro Islands, lemurs are considered as one of the world’s most endangered group of mammals.

At La Vanille Nature Park, you will be able to encounter ring-tailed lemurs. Lemurs are very social creatures and live in groups called troops. They can be observed sunbathing during the early morning hours, sitting upright on the ground, arms held out from the sides and resting on their knees, much like a human in a yoga meditation position.

About Nile Crocodiles

This is the largest species of crocodile found in Africa and Madagascar. It can reportedly grow to 7 m, but the average length for males is around 5.2 m, with females reaching around 3.5 m. They can grow up to 80 cm in their first year, but the rate then slows down. The average lifespan is between 60 to 100 years. Large crocodiles eat approximately 120 kg of food per year and may weigh more than 500 kg.

The majority of an adult crocodile’s diet comes from fish, although they will also eat large mammals such as zebra, antelope and giraffe and any other unfortunate creature found near the water’s edge, including the occasional human and also other crocodiles. They are strong swimmers and can stay underwater for up to half an hour. The crocodiles in the reserve come from the population originally imported from Madagascar in 1985. Today La Vanille houses around 1500 individuals in various stages of growth.
