GEOGRAPHY
& POLITICAL REGIME |
^
Mauritius is a volcanic island
situated in the Indian Ocean far off the west coasts
of Madagascar, by 20.30 degrees South and 57 degrees
East. Mauritius is part of the "Macarena"
islands Its area is of 2,040 Km2 and is surrounded by
coral reefs and lagoons.. Mauritius
has the status of an independent republic with a democratic
regime based on the Westminster model. The main political
parties adopt a modern socialism ideology, that is
with a pinch of capitalism.
With
a population of 1,200,000, Mauritius
is an over-populated island with inhabitants from
several origins. (See "Population"
below.)
|
|
| The
economy, relying on sugar and textiles
exports, and now on the tourism industry, is healthy
as compared to the majority of African countries but
with a low growth rate. The infrastructures are fairly
developed with good roads and telephone network. The
electricity and water supplies are less reliable.
Mauritius
is a reliable and safe destination, well organised
to receive the average 800,000 visitors yearly.
|
| |
| LANGUAGES
|
^
Creole language, a simplified mix of
French with English, is the common language linking
all the communities together. Otherwise, French is widely
spoken but the official language is English. In many
homes and among peers, different Indian or Chinese dialects
are spoken. |
| |
| CLIMATE |
^
Mauritius has a tropical climate
with more rain in summer than in winter. Generally hot
(27 to 37 °C in summer) and very humid (above 80
%) with a high rainfall, Mauritius has microclimates;
the high grounds are cooler (av. 22oC) and much wetter
(5,000 mm / year) than the coastal regions (1,000 mm
/ year). Tropical
cyclones occur in the warmest months of December to
March. These very months are where the climate is
fine for holidaymakers staying near the sea but can
be very uncomfortable when moving around the island.
The sea temperature is very pleasant during these
months, between 25 and 29°C.
Most
Mauritians prefer the winter period,
as it is fresher and dryer, especially at night. The
sun is also more bearable allowing long expositions,
which is not recommended during summer. The sea in
winter remains pleasant (around 22°C.)
|
| |
| HOW
TO GET THERE |
^
There are several daily flights from
Europe, Africa and from the neighbouring countries and
two direct flights per week from Australia. From the
American continent, the best connections are via European
airports. Most flights are provided by national companies,
namely Air
Mauritius. With the actual determination to further
develop the tourism industry, private airlines such
as Corsair (France) or Virgin Airlines (U.K.) just to
name a few are landing in Mauritius as from 2006. |
| |
| VISAS
& FORMALITIES |
^
Those holding a passport from the following countries
and entering the Mauritian territory
for holiday purposes and for a maximum
period of 3 months, DO NOT REQUIRE VISAS.
Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Bardabos,
Belgium, Belize, Botswana, Brunei, Darussalam, Canada,
Cyprus, Denmark, Dominica, Finland, France, Gambia,
Germany (United), Ghana, Greece, Grenada, Guyana, Iceland,
Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, Kiribati,
Kuwait, Lesotho, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malawi,
Malaysia, Maldives, Malta, Monaco, Namibia, Nauru, Netherlands,
New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Papua, New Guinea,
Portugal, Qatar, Samoa (Western), San Marino, Saudi
Arabia, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Solomon
Islands, South Africa, Spain, St. Christopher, and Nevis
St. Lucia St. Vincent & Grenadines, Sweden, Switzerland,
Tanzania, Tonga, Trinidad, & Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey,
Tuvalu, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom
(and dependent territories), United States of America,
Vanuatu, Vatican, Zambia, Zimbabwe.
In addition, visas are NOT REQUIRED
for those transiting in Mauritius as
long as the transit time does not exceed 72 hours.
Those holding passports from countries that are not
listed above should take counsel with a travel agency
or contact the Mauritian consulate or embassy in their
country. In some case, visas need to be obtained prior
to departure, in other cases, visas can be delivered
on arrival. In any case, all passports must have a minimum
validity of 6 months after scheduled date of departure.
|
| |
| MONEY |
^
Most international currencies are accepted at Mauritian
counters but the Mauritian Rupee cannot
be traded in any country except occasionally in South
Africa and India. Indicative bank rates are proposed
in the grid below; rates in hotels are generally higher:
Visa
and Mastercard credit cards are accepted almost everywhere,
while Diners Club and American Express are accepted
in hotels and only in some other places. Automatic
tellers are available and in good working condition
in almost every village.
Indicative
Exchange Rates are as follows:
|
|
| |
| HEALTH |
^
There
are no severe transmissible viruses such as TB or Malarya
in Mauritius except for certain rare cases picked up
on some frequent travellers. No vaccination is required.
The health services
are very efficient and closely monitor the arrivals
and departures. The
Chikungunya virus has spread out
in early 2006, to an extent which is still unknown
as official figures differ widely from the rumours.
It is certain that the extent was large, causing a
sharp drop in tourist arrivals in March and April
2006. As the virus is vectored by a specific type
of mosquito, the outbreak gets naturally reduced during
the winter (drier) months of May to November. A vast
fumigation campaign has been initialised and is being
carried out regularly during the winter months, with
the aim to completely eradicate the virus.
Mauritians consume tap water and skinless fresh fruits
every day, as they are safe. This does not mean that
they do not cause diseases, mainly the runs or the
“turista” to those who are not yet immune.
For
a more comfortable stay, drink only mineral water and
accept ice only while in hotels and restaurants treating
tap water. Street foods are often the best deals and
the tastiest. However, they are not always hygienic
and often cause diseases. Conditions
in public hospitals are appalling when compared to
European standards but the emergency services are
doing fine. The private clinics are generally of good
level.
|
| |
| WORKING
HOURS |
^
Offices
are open either from 8.30 to 4.00, Monday to Friday
and from 9.00 to 12.00 on Saturdays, or, from 8.30 to
5.00 Monday to Friday.
Shops including chemists open at 9.00
Monday to Saturday and close at different times depending
on the region.
In Port Louis at 5.00, in Curepipe and other residential
towns at 6.00 except on Thursdays where they close at
12.00. Shops in Port Louis close at 12.00 on Saturdays.
Supermarkets and grocery stores open at7.30 or 8.00
and close at 7.00.
Banks are open from 9.00 to 3.50 from
Monday to Thursday and close at 5.00 on Fridays.
The Bureau de Change are open on Sundays. |
| |
| ELECTRICITY
|
^
Electricity
is 220 Volts… most of the time. |
| |
| POST
& TELECOMMUNICATION |
^
Post
offices are present in all villages and an airmail would
take less than a week to reach destination in Europe,
or less than 10 days to the American continent.
The telephone network of Mauritius is well developed
and reliable; phone booths can be found almost everywhere.
Same applies to the cellular phones where two companies
have erected reliable networks. |
|
Telephones
can be rented on arrival and roaming agreements exist.
International access is automatic.
Internet is quite widely used by hotels
and individuals, however there are few internet cafes
around. Most hotels offer business
centres or at least e-mail services. |
| |
| FOOD
& CUISINE |
^
To
the image of the multi-cultural or rather multi-ethnical
richness of Mauritius, the Mauritian
food and cuisine reveals its
cultural influences and the shy beginning of interbreeding,
to the point that one same dish can be classified as
Creole, Mauritian or Indian. The traditional
base of Mauritian cuisine is definitely the curries
and “rougailles” but instead of cooking
and serving it the Indian way, they are simplified and
commonly served with white rice and other beans.
Mauritians of all origins have definitely adopted this
combination in their everyday food and for many Mauritians
of European origin it is the traditional Sunday treat
that is looked forward to.

| INTRODUCTION |
^
"In Mauritius we cultivate
sugar cane and prejudices", Malcolm de
Chazal (1902-1981).
This sentence from the 60’s is the best short
description of Mauritius and remains
valid four decades later although to a lesser extent.
It may take a visitor a few months to find out about
the prejudices, but it takes a two-minutes drive from
the airport to find about the sugar cane.
Sugar cane is not only physically all
over the place, but is present in every aspect of the
history, economy, society, culture and mentalities of
Mauritius. First
introduced by the Dutch in 1639,
the importance of sugar cane has grown wider and wider
until the last two decades where other industries
mainly clothing manufacturing, tourism
as well as a fast development of the domestic activity,
has opened new horizons to Mauritius and its population.
The visitor may keep this in mind during one’s
stay in Mauritius as it may help to better understand
the country and its people.
|
|
|
Sugar cane is greatly responsible for the
cutting down of hundreds of thousands of trees and
for the fact that the sugar cane hedges on each side
of the roads restrict the views. It is responsible
for creating enough interest to the former French
and British colonialists to maintain the island and
even fight for it. For the cultivation of sugar cane,
slaves from Madagascar and Africa and later, field
workers from India had to be brought to the island
creating today’s multi ethnic society.
Sugar cane is responsible for having created enough
wealth, at least to the landlords, allowing the Mauritius
of the 21st century to be partly and relatively independent
to foreign capital. On the other hand, it has for
long, caused an imbalanced wealth distribution, typical
of colonial times. To day wealth and power has spread
among all the different ethnics of Mauritius but the
gap remains.
Just like the entrepreneurs of the Textiles industry,
the "Sugar barons" have, till now enjoyed
preferential exports regimes, first for being part
of the "Commonwealth", then due to the ACP
trade agreement. It is only in 2006 that all protections
are being waived, placing high challenges to the Mauritian
economy in the coming years, making tourism
and the I.C.T. the sectors in which all hopes are
placed. This comfortable protection has helped the
development of a highly conservative society in many
ways. Visitors might get surprised by some unpredictable
and unexplained conservative reactions when dealing
with Mauritians
It is with this fact of history in mind that you will
better understand the actual social structure of Mauritius
and realise that it is a proper developing country
with several challenges coming forward.
|
| |
| HISTORY |
^
Mauritius has never been a colony in real terms,
as it was originally inhabited.
10th
century: The Arab navigators call in Mauritius several
times while exploring the regions off their costs.
1500.
Portuguese “discover” the island and calls
it “Ilha do Cirne” (Swan Island) and abandon
it later.
1512.
In turn, the British sailors discovered the island.
|
 |
1598.
The Dutch take over the island and call it “Mauritius”
in honour of Maurits van Nassau, governor of the Orange
state in Southern Africa. 1638.
After having used the island on and off for repairing
ships and as temporary shelter for their fleets the
first Dutch settlers arrive in Mauritius to create
a colony.
1639.
Introduction of the sugar cane.
1658.
The Dutch abandon the island.
1664.
The Dutch come back for another try.
1710.
The Dutch abandon the island definitely, after having
destroyed a vast amount of ebony trees and the Dodo
and leaving behind sugar cane plants, coconut trees,
dears from Java, cows, pigs, hens, and…the stray
dogs, one of the peculiarities of Mauritius.
1715.
The French take over the island and name it “Isle
de France.”
1719.
The king Louis XV concedes the island to the almighty
“Compagnie des Indes.”
1721.
Arrival of the first French settlers.
|
1735.
Arrival of “Mahé de Labourdonnais,”
as Governor of the island for the account of the “Compagnie
des Indes.”
1735.
Mahé de Labourdonnais decides to develop Port
Louis as main port and administrative centre.
1745.
The first export orientated sugar mills are created.
Although the sugar cane was introduced since 1639,
it was mostly used for the making of spirits greatly
appreciated by the sailors. The sugar production was
mainly for the local consumption and for the crews.
1764.
The “Compagnie des Indes” going bankrupt,
Louis XV buys back the island.
1767.
Arrival of the first royal officers acting as governors.
1790.
The settlers learn with great pleasure about the French
revolution.
1792.
The revolutionary French authority orders the abolition
of slavery. The Settlers refuse to abide leading to
a breach of relationships with the French government.
1800.
Witnessing a great English activity in the whole Indian
Ocean, the settlers ask the Napoleon administration
for protection against the invaders. |
1803. Arrival of Decaen and the creation of a Military
authority. Decaen came up with an anti-revolutionary
plan where the practice of slavery was no more an offence
and re-established the former racial segregation between
whites and others. On the other hand, Decaen allowed
the runaway slaves to live freely and supported the
observance of religions other than Christianity, such
as the Tamil, Hindu and Muslim religions. 1810.
The great “Vieux Grand Port”
naval battle took place. This battle is famous as
it was the only naval battle won by the French over
the English. |
 |
|
1810. Despite the outcome of the “Vieux
Grand Port” battle, the English strike
again, this time landing in Cap-Malheureux and take
over the defenceless Island. The capitulation occurred
overnight as both the French and English had the means
to open a fight. The French agreed to surrender conditionally
that the French settlers could keep their land, belongings,
status and culture. It is for this reason that to
day, French is more widely spoken in Mauritius while
the official language is English since 1832.
1810.
The Island takes its definite name of Mauritius.
1835.
Abolition of slavery.
1864
– 1929. Mauritius follows the Industrial revolution
and sets its first railway receives its first car
and discovers the telephone and electricity.

Sir. Seewoosagar Ramgoolam with the
labour party wins the first open election.
1963.
Sir. Seewoosagar Ramgoolam wins again this time as
leader of the labour party, marking the definitive
take-over of the political scene by the Hindus.
1967.
The Mauritians opt for Independence proposed by the
Labour party.
1968.
While the past year saw many fights and resistance
from the anti-independent Franco Mauritians, more
ethnic fights occur namely between the Creoles and
the Muslims.
1968.
The independence nonetheless takes effect.
1992.
Mauritius achieves the status of
Republic. The governor, representative of the Queen
of England, is named President of the Republic.
|

| POPULATION |
^
Mauritius is among the most over populated
countries with nearly 600 people per Km2. The population
of Mauritius consists of several ethnics, religions
and cultures. While in some cases one could be tempted
to talk about the Mauritian culture,
it is a fact that this culture is still in evolution
and is more of a composition of the different ancestral
cultures. Today, businessmen from Chinese, Indian and
French origins work together and may be partners, but
in holiday times the one flies to Singapore for shopping,
the second to Mumbai for a cultural tour and the latter
to Courchevel for a getaway form the summer heat.
Mauritians
at large seem to be more open-minded than the administrative
and religious institutions. Unfortunately, the major
political parties drastically suffering from a lack
of imagination often use the ready-made recipe of
communalism to raise their troops and are greatly
responsible for the cultivation of the communal calculation.
|
|
This gets even more complex for the Mauritians
of Indian origin who are further segregated by their
social system based on castes. It is a well-established
fact that the Mauritian Prime Minister must be not
only from Indian origin, but must be Hindu and from
one particular caste. Mauritians nonetheless keep
hope that this will change with time.
As
a result, each religious celebration and each election
revives the problem, but in general and depending
on the period, the circumstance and the context, there
is more or less harmony between the different segments
of the Mauritian population and some respect of each
other’s differences.
The
population of Mauritius
can be split into several groups: However, it is difficult
to have a clear picture of proportions as the different
polls place “Creoles” of African origins,
and those of mix ethnics into the single category
of “general population.” These two sub
groups have very few in common in terms of historical
background, culture and social status.
The known figures are thus as follows:
Mauritians of:
- Indian origin (68%)
- Creoles (27%)
- Chinese origin (3%)
- French origin (2 %)
|
| |
| RELIGION |
^
Hindus: 52%
Christians (mainly Roman Catholics): 28%
Muslims: 17%.
Buddhists and others: 3%.
The Mauritians of Indian origin are
mainly Hindus, Tamils and Muslims; most of those of
Chinese origin observe two religions, i.e. Christianity
and Buddhism, while the rest of the population are Christians
(mainly Roman Catholics).
|
| SOCIETY |
^
Whatever the statistics are, the influence
of the different religions on the politics, society
and individuals is striking as Mauritians
generally give a lot of importance to certain values
such as family, religion and… money.
While Mauritius remains relatively
poor, the standard of living has greatly improved in
the last 15 years and with this, materialism has unfortunately
developed. Those of lower income spend their lives paying
back their TV sets, the cars and 4X4’s are the
main problem of the average Mauritian and how much did
the last holidays cost is the main subject of conversation
for the wealthiest. Mauritius
like many other countries has people of very different
social and educational backgrounds but the racial
and religious differences come in addition to these.
|
| |
| THE
DO'S & DONT'S |
^
The
peculiarities described above, bring to the visitor
some advantages and disadvantages. Mauritians are generally
pacific, polite and to some extent, respectful unless
their deepest values are at risk. It is therefore better
not to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and
especially with the wrong attitude. There are things
that can be done and others that should be avoided.
Here are some tips for a better stay in Mauritius. |
| |
| DRESS
CODE
|
^
Although it is a hot tropical place with beaches
all around, Mauritius is first of all
a country as a whole with towns, offices, highways and
laws. It is therefore advisable not to walk or drive
in bathing suits in towns, villages or in buses. This
is especially true for women as Mauritian women are
very conservative and men not used to see flesh in daylight.
This is even truer for remote places where only a few
tourists pass by. In
most hotels, walking around in surfer
shorts or bathing suits after sunset is simply prohibited.
On the beach, Mauritian women at the beach wear bikinis
at best if not full dresses. It is therefore unusual
to the Mauritian men to see nudity or even topless
women lying some meters away. For your own comfort
and security it is not advisable to practice integral
tanning anywhere in Mauritius, while topless tanning
should be avoided on public beaches.
|
| |
| SECURITY |
^
Mauritius
remains a safe place with a low criminality rate, thanks
to the general level of education and high employment
rates. However, some places are to be avoided especially
at night, as the police’s frequent patrols are
not sufficient to make all regions 100 % safe. Although
generally safe, walking on the streets after hours is
not recommended unless in groups; while driving cars
scooters or using taxis are perfectly safe anywhere
at any time. If
you rent a private bungalow or room,
make sure your bag, cameras, travel documents and
money are safely locked or hidden and that doors are
closed while you are out on the beach or sleeping.
The situation is totally different in hotels, which
are most safe with trained employees.
|
| |
| TAXI
DRIVERS
|
^
Like in all countries, taxi drivers in Mauritius
are a phenomenon. In
Mauritius, most taxis have a meter
but it is not compulsorily used. Therefore, it is
recommended to ask the driver to start the meter if
you need them for a short drive. For longer trips,
it is essential to discuss the price before embarking.
If you are in a hotel, ask for guidance on tariffs
at the reception. Taxis are rather expensive for short
drives but are worth for all day trips where the driver
will take you for a broad sightseeing tour.
Many
of the Mauritian taxi drivers have obtained their
licence from pure political favours. Mauritius is
thus the only country where there are truly fake taxis
(particulars having a taxi licence in order to obtain
lower customs and tax rates,) and fake true taxis
(particulars operating without licence stopping all
over the road to pick up passengers.)
Like
in many countries, taxi drivers are self-declared
tourist guides with good and bad outcomes. The situation
in Mauritius seems to be worse as many businesses
(restaurants, shops, excursionists) have for sole
marketing strategy, the payment of commissions to
taxi drivers bringing clients.
Of course many taxi drivers (especially those in towns)
derive a real pleasure in making visitors discover
their country. But most of them will take you to places
where they earn the most, without any second thoughts
about being responsible for your bad deals. It is
therefore recommended not to ask taxi drivers for
advice on excursions, restaurants and shops. On the
other hand, they are very cooperative when taking
you for sight-seeing trips, and they know the island
inside-out.

| |
| BEACH
HAWKERS |
^
Beach hawkers are similar
to taxi drivers, as they are very friendly, smiling
and… commercial. Most crafted goods they sell
are imported and are not representative of the almost
inexistent local handicraft.
Although their prices may be lower than in the hotel
shops, they remain overpriced if not bargained.
Beach
hawkers can be a problem if you really want to be
quiet, as there are many of them who will sit as close
as possible to your girlfriend or wife. There is no
need to be charitable; as they all look poor but many
have their car parked nearby.
|
| |
| CUSTOMS
& ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES |
^
Customs and immigration is
very strict in Mauritius. For an unknown
reason, while everything is done abroad to attract tourists,
it takes several minutes for an immigration officer
to check a passport leaving the impression that visitors
are not welcome. It is probably worth mentioning that
the case is worse for Mauritian citizens coming
back home. Plants
and parts of plants have to be declared at customs
and some of them might be forbidden. Sugar cane is
one of them. Parts of animals are often prohibited
and live animals are subject to a quarantine. It is
therefore not worth taking your dog to Mauritius
as you will be back home already when it will come
out of quarantine.
Drugs
are totally prohibited and drug traffickers are liable
to maximum imprisonment. Getting caught with cannabis
(even for personal consumption) or any other illegal
substances may be a serious matter and will surely
take you to jail. Although the law provides for possibilities
of fast-track trials for visitors, the risk of spending
a too long time in jail is high.
|
| |
| DRIVING |
^
Driving in Mauritius
can be a lifetime experience; in fact, walking on the
streets as well. Although most roads are in good shape,
it is the way the Mauritians drive that makes it a bit
scary. First of all, the cars are right hand driven
but people drive more towards the middle of the road
rather than on the left hand side as the streets are
often crowded with pedestrians, dogs, hens etc.
However, several of our visitors do rent cars to drive
along and they are absolutely right as in fact, it is
just another way of driving, the oriental
style, where the one looks determined is given priority.
It is thus a question of applying a different driving
style consisting of driving at approximately
the same speed as others, of using the horn and pass
lights without hesitation and expect anything. Buses
are especially scary as they drive fast on narrow roads
trying hard to overtake the competitor ahead. Riding
bikes and bicycles in busy towns and villages can be
simply dangerous.
Renting a car in Mauritius
remains an advantage as, we repeat, there are plenty
of interesting things to see in Mauritius for those
who want to see them. Driving not only allows the seeing
of magnificent sceneries, but also the catching of quick
images (often funny) of Mauritius that
reveal in a glimpse, the real life in Mauritius
which those who stay in hotels will never be able to
see. A car allows one to stop at anytime anywhere just
for a picture or for buying something on the street
side and start a conversation with a local and learn
something. Isn’t that real travelling?
Car
rentals in Mauritius may be a bit expensive
as cars and spares are subject to high taxes. International
car hire companies are of course the safest way to go
but a few of the smaller local car rental companies
are performing and offer the possibility to save some
money while benefiting from an OK to good service. However,
we would recommend NOT renting unofficial cars as they
are often in really bad shape and one may face severe
troubles in case of accident. Registered cars for hire
bear yellow number plates. |
| |
| BEACHES |
^
There is a polemical issue on the so-called
private beaches. Most of the beaches
of Mauritius are found in front of
private residences or hotels,
leaving very little room to the declared public beaches.
The law is clear for one thing: all beaches are open
to those walking by. However, beaches found in front
of hotels and villas
cannot be used by anyone wanting to spend the day and
it is of course prohibited to use the garden or beach
furniture. For the rest, it's just a question of how
to interpret the law and of mutual respect.
We therefore advise to make sure that your hotel or
residence has a beach, or if you cannot afford one,
you may casually and quietly use the beaches in front
of residences on weekdays when the owners are not using
them and please keep it as tidy as you found it.
We hope that this short guide will help or has helped
you during your stay in Mauritius.
Please do not hesitate to write

the descriptions above are incomplete or untrue. You
may also ask to include your message in here.
