Hunting in Mauritius – Rusa Deer Hunting Since 2003

Beneath the Watchful Gaze of Le Morne Brabant

Beneath the majestic silhouette of Le Morne Brabant, the story of our family is deeply rooted in a lifelong passion for nature, wildlife and hunting.

Founded in Mauritius in 2003, Lionel Passion Guide brings together decades of experience, extensive local knowledge and a profound respect for hunting traditions. Inspired by my father, who introduced me to hunting at a young age, I learned that the true meaning of hunting goes beyond the pursuit of game: it lies in understanding wildlife, respecting nature and preserving the traditions passed down through generations.

Today, we welcome hunters from around the world to discover Rusa deer hunting in Mauritius, sharing our knowledge of the island, its hunting estates and its unique wildlife heritage.
