Alexandra Falls, Waterfall in Black River Gorges National Park, Mauritius.
Alexandra Falls drops 30 meters through multiple tiers into a pool surrounded by dense forest at 700 meters above sea level in the Savanne District.
The establishment of Black River Gorges National Park marked a crucial step in protecting the waterfall and its surrounding ecosystem of endemic species.
Local residents gather near the falls to collect Chinese guava fruits, maintaining traditional foraging practices within the national park boundaries.
The falls require private transportation to reach, as public buses do not service the area, and visitors need sturdy hiking shoes for the trails.
Four wooden bridges along narrow paths lead visitors through technical sections that demand careful navigation to reach the waterfall base.
