During the winter months which is from July to September, the temperature is much cooler making your holiday more relaxed and comfortable.
- Mauritius is one of the safest African countries with a very low crime rate. However, petty thefts are reported occasionally. So travellers are advised to be vigilant with their belongings in crowded areas. Mauritius is a multilingual country where English, French and Mauritian Creole languages are the most dominant ones.
- Mauritius is 4 hours ahead of the GMT, which means it has a difference of 1 hour and 30 minutes with India, with India being ahead. Air Mauritius operates direct flights from Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore. Though direct flights are limited, there are other carriers like Air India and Emirates that offers flights to Mauritius with one or more transits.

- Mauritius Botanical Garden which is famous for its giant water lilies, spice garden and palm varieties is one of the top tourist attractions here. The Black River Gorges National park is worth a visit to see many species of wild animals and birds in their natural habitat of lush rainforests. A walk along the greenery will take you to the highest point on the island, the Black River Peak.
- Île aux Cerfs Island is not to be missed for its sheer natural beauty. The island has some beautiful lagoons and a variety of water activities conducted.
