Discover Cascade Mamzelle in Mauritius, a hidden waterfall near Gris Gris and Souillac, known for its peaceful natural pool, tropical greenery, coastal hiking route and wild south coast scenery
Cascade Mamzelle is one of the hidden natural gems near Gris Gris and Souillac, on the wild south coast of Mauritius. Tucked away from the main tourist routes, this peaceful waterfall is surrounded by tropical greenery, river scenery and a raw natural atmosphere that feels very different from the island’s famous lagoon beaches. Also known locally as Bain de Négresse, Cascade Mamzelle is a beautiful stop for adventurous travellers who enjoy waterfalls, coastal hikes, nature photography and off-the-beaten-path places. The waterfall is especially interesting because it can be combined with the dramatic south coast landscape around Gris Gris, La Roche qui Pleure and Souillac. After seeing the powerful waves and cliffs of Gris Gris, Cascade Mamzelle offers a calmer, greener contrast with fresh water, shaded surroundings and a more peaceful nature setting. Depending on weather and access conditions, visitors may enjoy the scenery, take photos or relax near the natural pool. As a local, I would recommend visiting Cascade Mamzelle with someone who knows the area, especially if you are not familiar with the route. Paths can be slippery, access may not always be clearly marked, and conditions can change after rain. Wear proper shoes, bring water, protect your belongings and respect the natural environment. This is not a polished tourist attraction, but that is exactly what makes it special. Cascade Mamzelle is perfect for travellers exploring the wild south of Mauritius and can be combined with Gris Gris Beach, La Roche qui Pleure, Rochester Falls, Souillac, Le Souffleur and Riambel for a full south coast adventure.
