Who are we?

Living, Loving, Hunting: Our Family Adventure in Mauritius

We are the pioneers, the first to dedicate our lives and passion to promoting hunting in Mauritius since 2003.

We are the Lionel family, and our lives are woven with a love for the outdoors, the thrill of the hunt, and the joy of exploring the world together. Whether it’s Rusa deer hunting, fishing in exotic waters, or trekking across vibrant landscapes, we do it all as a family.

At the helm is Lionel, founder of Mauritius’ oldest specialized hunting company and the island’s first expert guide for Rusa deer hunting in Mauritius. His passion for the hunt began at age three, accompanying his father across the open lands, mountains, and forests of France. This legacy continues with his wife, Kathleen, who has been his partner in adventure and client hospitality since 2006.

Lionel’s expertise extends beyond the hunting grounds. He is a seasoned reporter for five magazines and a videographer for France’s leading hunting TV channel, capturing the essence of the hunt and the cultures he encounters. With over 1,000 hunters guided from 24 nationalities, Lionel provides an unmatched Mauritius hunting experience.

For Lionel, being a professional guide isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. He thrives on learning from his guests, creating shared adventures that transcend language and borders.

When you choose Lionel Passion Guide, you’re not just booking a hunt—you’re joining a family and a legacy built on respect for nature, ethical hunting practices, and unforgettable Mauritius outdoor adventures. Come share our island paradise, explore endless hunting possibilities, and create memories that last a lifetime.
