Sauzier Waterfall, Natural waterfall in Port Glaud, Seychelles.
Description
Sauzier Waterfall is a natural cascade on the west coast of Mahe that drops 70 meters and creates a natural pool at its base. The water flows through dense tropical forest, carving out a lush basin surrounded by vegetation.
History
The waterfall sits on the Rivière L'Isletta and has been a constant natural landmark throughout the area's development. As settlements grew around Port Glaud, the falls remained unchanged as a permanent geographic feature.

Local people gather near the falls for celebrations and social meetings throughout the year, making it a focal point for the community. The site remains woven into everyday life and gatherings for those living in the area.
Practical
Visitors can reach the waterfall via a five-minute nature trail from Port Glaud village that is easy to walk and clearly marked. Wear sturdy shoes since the path can become slippery after rain, and bring water as there are no facilities along the trail.
