Visiting Mauritius


Officially part of Africa, although it’s 1200 miles away from the rest of it, Mauritius has the continent’s highest per capita income. Port Louis, the modern capital of this 38-mile by 29-mile island, is a bustling port with a revitalized waterfront and busy market. But most visitors gravitate toward resort areas such as Mont Choisy. Quiet Trou-aux-Biches and more bustling Flic en Flac are popular with scuba divers. Rivière Noire is ideal for those eager to do deep-sea fishing.
