Live in Savannah
02 Jun 2022
Savannah Connected Countryside is a village designed and implemented to foster sustainable urban development in tune with nature.
Savannah Connected Countryside is an ENL Property initiative that hinges on the smart village concept, ticking all the boxes for responsible urban development. This leading property player in Mauritius draws on the expertise and experience gained in implementing Moka Smart City. The company builds high-quality communities in harmony with nature for a pleasant living experience.
The ENL group’s property arm is recognised as a trusted developer. It incorporates into the development of Savannah its own values of aesthetics, community living, respect for the environment and careful planning without sacrificing on heritage. “Our goal is to leverage existing residential developments to create a connected village where residents will enjoy a unique quality of life,” says the Property Development Manager, Vincent Lagesse.
The Gros Bois neighbourhood in Savannah is establishing itself as an attractive emerging residential destination in the region with an exceptional quality of life and a warm atmosphere. Current residents can attest to this. “I remember our first visit to Gros Bois. We had arranged to meet near the chimneys. We immediately fell under the spell of the place and were won over by the peaceful surroundings! It was then a vast sugarcane field, but we could easily imagine our life there: we knew it was where we wanted to retire. And it really changed our lives! We started mountain biking (we now ride about 50km a week!). The friendly and respectful Gros Bois community also contributes to our daily happiness,” says Eddy David.
The first phase of Les Vergers de Gros Bois will consist of 6 apartments, 6 duplexes and 6 penthouses ideally located in the heart of the neighbourhood. Common areas will be designed for maximum outdoor enjoyment while preserving the natural heritage of the site. Les Sentiers de Gros Bois also offers 60 generously-sized building lots and office space.
Savannah is a development covering 440 arpents, of which 365 arpent will be developed under the Smart City Scheme. Revolving around the live-work-play concept, it offers a unique lifestyle in the South of Mauritius. The area has many distinctive features to make the daily life of residents easier and allow for socialising with neighbours and colleagues.
La Place de Gros Bois
La Place de Gros Bois has been designed as a village square and provides a meeting place that enhances the unique living environment within the neighbourhood. It is intended for exclusive use by Savannah Connected Countryside residents, allowing them to work, shop, play and socialise in a warm and friendly setting. They also enjoy discounts and many other benefits. The restaurant, coworking space and meeting rooms available for rent are however open to the public.
Savannah International
Preprimary and Primary School
Facilities available include the Savannah International Preprimary and Primary School, which offers a world-class education. It opened in January 2022 and stems from a partnership between ENL Property and the founders of Westcoast International Primary School and Greencoast International School. Its holistic teaching approach is based on the International Early Years Curriculum and the International Primary Curriculum to encourage the development of skills required to become lifelong learners and responsible citizens.

La Corbeille
La Corbeille is a pleasant and well-organised local grocery store a few steps from home for your quick errands. It is open all day Monday through Saturday with an excellent choice of fresh local products, including seasonal fruit and vegetables, everyday items, cosmetics, tea and infusions. “Our store and the products we sell contribute in some way to the authenticity of the place, and we bring our know-how to customers living and working in the surroundings,” says Aurélie de Guardia, who manages this local business.
Upcoming
Several other projects are in the pipeline to make life in Savannah Connected Countryside even more enjoyable. An upcoming top-notch sports centre will enable local residents to keep in shape. A permaculture farm will provide seasonal fruit, vegetables and quality meat. Health professionals will also be available at the village’s proposed medical and paramedical centre.
Savannah Connected Countryside will enable residents to refine their quality of life through a sustainable approach. The area is perfect for mountain biking and trail running, with marked trails underway for safe and fun outings. The village will also have dedicated paths for bike and scooter riding.
Close to both everyday essentials and carefully preserved nature, Savannah Connected Countryside fosters a sense of belonging and togetherness, making it possible for everyone to make their mark, grow and develop.
