A Guide On Mauritius

By Elijah Bitson

Mauritius is considered as being heaven on earth and with the wonderful sceneries, it can be said that it's fair to state this. Located on the East of South Africa and Madagascar it can be fairly a lengthy journey to obtain there, but it's worthwhile, because Mauritius is a paradise on earth and has a relaxing and natural landscape. Ideal for those who wish to escape for a few weeks from stress so typical in their country of residence!

The beaches are an invitation to unwind; the sand is fine and filled with fresh coconuts trees. A real dream landscape! Not only the landscape but its inhabitants, very hospitable, will happily guide you or inform you if need be. Nevertheless, as in all countries in which we are abroad, you should always pay attention to fake guides! It will probably be much better that you go towards the tourist office or travel agency and find out about the route you want to take.

Once in Mauritius, it is nearly impossible to get bored! Feel free to cross the city utilizing public transport; you'll really feel "more Mauritius" and this will help you to get immersed in the culture. You might be interested to learn that Mauritians are bilinguals and speak French and English fluently. But the native language is Creole which is a mixture of all the different languages present on the island.

Be cautious though when crossing the road as people drive rather dangerously. If you're surfing, check beforehand as there are some places rather dangerous for such activities. I personally would advise you to go to Ile Aux Cerfs (an outer island), the capital, Port Louis, Pamplemousses Garden and the Pereybere beach. You will require around 5 days to visit the island at your leisure. When you shop for souvenirs never forget to bargain! You are able to drive down the price by ten to twenty%

When it comes to accommodation you will have a wide choice. Unless you lodge at a friend or family member, hotels are inexpensive, and most of them have an acceptable comfort. However, you will find much more expensive accommodations and upmarket. The hotels "petits budgets" are modest 3-star hotels, and I recommend the "Sands" in the region of Wolmar.

Food in Mauritius is more or less tropical and fishing is the main activity. As a result, seafood or shellfish and other fish make some delicious meals. Fish lovers will discover a wide variety of fish that will be smoked or prepared curry or spiced with ginger. A real treat!
