Casela World of Adventures is the most visited attraction in Mauritius and the Indian Ocean and has been welcoming locals and tourists of all ages since 1979. The adventure park is open all year round except Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Situated atop the sugarcane fields on the west coast of the island, with Rempart Mountain in the backdrop, Casela probably takes its name from “Lakaz-la”, meaning “The house” in the local language. Initially, a bird sanctuary, the park draws from the vision of a bunch of nature lovers who wished to save the trees on site from cutting down and incorporate them into a garden.
