A solo tour through the paradise that is Mauritius is a wonderful experience. It is perfectly safe and all you need is your passport, a camera and some good quality sunscreen. Here are some things you need to know before you head there.
The basics
The island’s public transport is quite advanced and it’s the best way to get around. There are private buses that take you all over the country and in urban areas, you can find public buses too. There are beautiful paintings on all these buses that are drawn by a local artist named Prem.
Somewhere you can call home
There are so many luxury resorts and hotels in Mauritius that are romantic and offer beautiful views such as The Residence Mauritius. If you don’t want to be surrounded by couples, you can opt for a boutique hotel with a more mixed clientele and you can enjoy great company and good food.
Pick the right time to visit
Any avid traveller would want to plan their vacation around the memorable holidays in the country. Mauritius celebrates a range of holidays including Diwali, Ganga Talao, Maha Shivaratri and many more. Witnessing these bright festivals is some of the best things to do in Mauritius.
Eat Local
Eating locally can help you save money if you’re on a tight budget without sacrificing flavour. The island is a true melting pot of flavours because of the vast culinary tradition left by immigrants from all over the world.
