Great experience
The service provider Viator used in Mauritius were very good. Immediate communication, prompt srrival of drivers for transfers and very friendly staff. The walking with Lions at Casela was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

Expensive but incredible experience.
Incredible experience. Expensive to do but it was a once in a life time experience. The rangers were very good and made you feel at ease. Not everything was open at the park, but bare in mind, you can't feed the Giraffe's on a Tuesday and Thursday (however this didn't bother us as mainly went for the lions).

We made a reservation...
We booked the activity through Viator, which indicated that we should arrive on site at 8 AM. We set the alarm for 6 AM. Once we arrived on time at 8 AM, they told us that the activity would not start before 9:30 AM. So we waited unnecessarily for 1.5 hours. If I had to do it again, I would buy the ticket directly on site. Viator is terrible!!!!
Response from the operator: Merci de votre retour. Cependant, nous nous efforçons de garder une ligne de communication active avec tout nos clients. Dans ce sens, nous vous avons contacté par WhatsApp, 2 jours avant le jour de l'activité, sur le numéro de contact que vous avez vous meme mis pour vous informer de l'heure exacte de la tenue de l'activité. J'espere toutefois que l'activité elle-meme a été a la hauteur de vos attentes.

Once in a lifetime experience
This was a fantastic experience. Our safety was obviously a prime concern, and there was a significant preamble where we were given a good amount of detail about how we were to behave around the lions. The tour wasn't oversubscribed and we were joined by 2 beautiful lions. The lions seemed to be very healthy and energetic. We all got the opportunity to interact with them (in as safe a way as could be expected). Bear in mind you aren't permitted to have anything in your hands (such as phones), in case the lions think it's food (so your bags and belongings are locked in a cabin). There is a photographer on hand to document the occasion, and whilst quite expensive, the photos are sharp, well taken, and supplied on a USB stick should you wish to buy them. But seriously, how often do you get the opportunity to have your photo taken with a LION? There were plenty of guides around us, (and they were very funny!) and we felt very safe and secure during the entire experience. Tip #1: be sure to take your passport number, as you will be expected to supply it Tip #2: be aware that there is a minimum height restriction for this activity. If you're less than (155cm iirc?), then you're at risk of being seen as prey, and they might not let you do the activity
Response from the operator: Things happen for a reason. So happy to have created such a wonderful experience to be cherished for a lifetime.

Dress appropriately
The ground in the lion enclosure is very uneven and flat walking shoes/trainers are advisable not the diamonty strappy sandals I’ve seen some wearing.

Casela - Walk With Lions: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Louis.
How much does Casela - Walk With Lions cost?
+
Prices start at $170 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Port Louis usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Casela - Walk With Lions take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Port Louis is not rushed.
Is Casela - Walk With Lions worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Port Louis, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Casela - Walk With Lions?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Casela - Walk With Lions suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Casela - Walk With Lions?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Port Louis can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Port Louis and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Casela - Walk With Lions start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Port Louis within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Port Louis?
+
On Outty we rank every Port Louis experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mesmerizing south west guided tour of mauritius. (Vallé optional), Private taxi : North guided tour of mauritius., Port-Louis Street Food Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Port Louis?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Port Louis?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
