More Than Just Komodo: The Beauty of the Mausui Savannah.
What comes to mind when you hear the word Flores?
For most people, it immediately brings up images of komodo dragons, one of the world’s natural wonders; its colorful and breathtaking seas; the three-colored lake; and its unique and diverse culture and traditions. But have you ever wondered that Flores also has a stunning savanna stretching widely across its landscape?
Located in Watunggene Village, Kota Komba District, East Manggarai Regency, Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, lies a remarkable natural treasure known as Padang Sabana Mausui. This savanna is named after Kubangan Mausui, a large natural pool where hundreds of buffalo come to soak and cool off.
Beyond its vast open grasslands, Padang Sabana Mausui hides charms that many visitors often overlook. During the rainy season, the hills turn a bright, refreshing green. In the dry season, the landscape transforms into warm golden tones—an exotic panorama that looks like a painting brought to life. From a distance, you can watch the buffalo relaxing peacefully in the Mausui Pool, a scene that showcases the harmony between people, animals, and nature that Flores is known for.
One of the best times to visit this area is during sunrise or sunset. The soft golden light that falls over the savanna and the ocean creates a magical atmosphere. Gentle sea breezes from Tanjung Bendera add a calming touch. With the sound of nature, wide-open views, and clear blue ocean scenery, the place feels like an entirely different world.
But the beauty doesn’t end with the landscape. Visitors can also enjoy warm interactions with the local community. You can observe the daily life of buffalo herders, listen to the stories behind Kubangan Mausui, and taste local dishes—simple yet rich in flavor and tradition.
