Be in Enchanting Places While Enjoying Mauritius Holidays
by Daisy Wilkinson Travel GuidesLocated off
the south-eastern coast of Africa, Mauritius is an island nation that is
renowned worldwide for its attractive natural features, including the
white-sand beaches. What would really make your holiday in this part of the
world memorable is the warm hospitality of the locals. This island destination
is home to a multi-cultural and multi-lingual population, including the
Indo-Mauritians, Creoles, Sino-Mauritians, and Franco-Mauritians. In recent
times, Mauritius is one of the world's major tourist destinations with more
than a million tourists arriving in the country every year.
The best
time to enjoy your Mauritius
holidays is between May and December when the island experiences a cool,
dry, and sunny weather. You'll have pleasant daytime temperatures in this
season to go sightseeing and have a wonderful time on the beaches. From the
month of May until October, the island experiences its winter season and there
is a slight drop in temperatures. However, if you visit during the summer
season between November and April, you'll have hot and humid days. Avoid
visiting the country during its wet cyclone season, which begins in the month
of January and lasts until March. It is also advisable to avoid being on the
east coast during the months of July and August owing to strong winds.
During your
time spent in Mauritius, you'll get the chance to explore some fascinating
attractions on the island. One of them is the Mauritius Botanical Garden
located near the capital city of Port Louis. It covers a vast area of over 35
hectares and is well-known for its collection of palms brought from Africa,
Central America, Asia, and the Indian Ocean islands. You'll also have a great
time exploring Black River Gorges National Park, which spans an area of more
than 6,500 hectares. You'll also be delighted to visit the island of Ile aux
Cerfs, which is home to some majestic sandy beaches, a beautiful lagoon, and
facilities to enjoy a wide range of activities.
Your
holiday in this island destination would also give you the chance to indulge in
some exciting activities outdoors. Among them is diving, which you can enjoy in
its safe lagoons that stretch up to the barrier reef. Of all the dive sites
located in Mauritius, Cathedral is one of the most popular ones. With some of
the award-winning golf courses on the island, you'll certainly get to play a
round or more of this popular sport. The shopping malls and markets of the
island country would give you ample opportunities to shop for souvenirs and gifts.
While in
Mauritius, you can also taste some of its delicious dishes. One of the
Sino-Mauritian delights is Bol Renverse, which literally translates as 'Upside
Down Bowl'. Also known as 'Magic Bowl', this delicacy is a rice-based dish and
is quite similar to Chop Suey. Biryani is also widely eaten in Mauritius and is
prepared using 'Basmati' rice along with meat and a variety of spices and
herbs. Don't miss 'Dholl Puri and Roti', which is one of the favourite street
foods of the locals.
