 Language - English and French are both spoken.
Climate - Like most tropical
islands there are no well defined rainy or dry seasons, just
gentle breezes and warm temperatures.
Adventure - Just four hours by air from
Johannesburg, the island of Mauritius lies like a rich green emerald
in the turquoise velvet of the Indian Ocean. This "Garden
of Eden" is blessed with a mild climate and light, regular
rainfall throughout the year.
Virgin forests and fertile
plains provide ecological riches for a myriad species of wildlife,
many of them unique to this area. White sand beaches and clear
warm waters make conditions ideal for all kinds of water-sports.
Visitors can choose from
diving, snorkeling, sailing and water-skiing. The island produces
bountiful crops of tropical fruits, vegetables and seafood,
while the cuisine reflects the mix of Indian, Chinese, French,
Creole and English people who make up the Mauritian nation.
With so many nationalities
and cultures co-existing it is difficult to find a day without
some festival or celebration.
