Rusa Deer Hunt

The tiny tropical island of Mauritius, located in the Indian Ocean some 1,200 miles off the coast of Africa, is famous as a luxury resort destination, featuring white-sand beaches, palm trees, and stunning sapphire ocean waters. It is also well-known among wildlife enthusiasts, especially for its exotic birds and giant tortoises, and is gaining a reputation for excellent cuisine. But as more and more visitors are learning, Mauritius is also an outstanding hunting destination, home to a variety of game including the majestic Javan Rusa deer and wild boars. The island is a mixture of rugged mountains, rolling hills, thick jungle, and open fields, offering a variety of habitat where wildlife thrives. Both spot-and-stalk and stand hunting is effective for big game. Best of all, a hunt here is easy to combine with a luxury family vacation in one of the island’s five-star resorts.
