Savanne District

The southern district of Savanne is known for its rolling hills, thick forests and rugged untouched beauty, and while the well-manicured greens of the Heritage Golf Club draw travelers eager to play the back nine, it’s the less developed reaches that bring travelers to this southern edge of the country.
Whether it’s cruising the trails on board a quad bike or riding horseback through the quiet landscapes of this beautiful region, visitors will find plenty to do, see and experience in Savanne. La Vanille Crocodile Park offers travelers an alternative to surf and sand with an informative look at these giant reptiles, while the Grand Bassin, a tradition Hindu temple, offers a look at local spirituality and the historic Bois Cheri Tea Factory provides travelers with a literal taste of what this district has to offer. 

Practical Info

The Savanne District is the southern-most district in the country. It’s located below the Riviere Noire, as well as the Plaines Wilhems and Grand Port districts. It has a population of nearly 76,000 people.
