Mauritius is one of the most highly sought-after tourist destinations in the world.

As a result, a trip to Mauritius is quite understandably highly anticipated.

However, to ensure that this trip goes without any glitch, it is imperative that you avail a Mauritius travel insurance policy before your trip commences.

Why you ask?

Because a travel insurance policy is an essential document that can act as a financial safeguard against sudden unforeseen situations that may arise in due course of your trip. There may be health emergencies, you might lose your baggage in transit, you might lose your wallet alongside important documents like your passport, etc.

Thus, it is crucial for you to avail a travel insurance policy before your trip commences.

It is difficult to predict what will happen in the near future. Plus, you will surely not appreciate any extra problems or extensive expenditure caused by accidents or misfortune.

Thus, while the legalities concerning travel insurance may be non-existent, not having an insurance policy would be foolish.

 

Why Should You Avail Travel Insurance to Mauritius?

There are several reasons:

  1. Travel Insurance provides financial emergency cash which acts as a safety net when there is any emergency. There are several unforeseen events which can cause extensive financial liabilities leading to a dent in your pocket. 

  2. It will provide you with the essential peace of mind, which is a must-have on any trip.

Things to Know about Mauritius before Visiting

Although part of the African continent, Mauritius has several different cultures amalgamated into a single one and is thus a melting pot of international tourists. The capital city is Port Louis, and it is also the most visited place in the country. Port Louis is a mere 40 minutes away from the sea if you rent a car.

Mauritius has much more to offer than just sunny beaches, of course. It has its own history of unique animals and birds. For example, the Dodo, the flightless extinct bird, was found only in Mauritius. Its fossils have never been found in any other country.

This is a country which has a rich history. In 1510, the Portuguese conquered it. Later, its ownership juggled between the Dutch, the English and other European imperialists. You can find the best beaches in Mauritius which have been revamped in later years and now rank as some of the best ones in the world.

Like most major tourist destinations, the country has a very capable administration with prompt police service and excellent medical facilities.

Best Time to Visit Mauritius

  • May to December - During these months, the weather is comfortable with the temperatures between 17 and 30 degrees Celsius. In the colder months, Mauritius is often battered by cyclones which make transportation risky.

Top Places to Visit in Mauritius

Here are some of the must-visit spots in the country:

  • Port Louis Theatre and Fort Adelaide - One place you cannot afford to miss is the capital city, Port Louis. The grand theatre and the Fort Adelaide are located within the older city’s precincts. While Fort Adelaide offers a commanding view of the waterfront and the capital, the theatre serves as a meeting point of the cultural elite. A lot of people find similarities between this venue and the grand opera theatre in Paris. 
  • Caudan Waterfront - This is a very famous shopping destination which is known for bargain prices and attractive discounts. The waterfront itself is rather unique because it combines the best of tourism shopping and beachfront activities. There is a lot of high-end fares available at the Caudan- make sure you go through it.
  • Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden - This is one of the largest botanical collections of water lilies in the world. These lilies are much larger than most of the other varieties. These flowers are in high demand from both foreign and native dealers and those who have an interest in breeding rare flowers. The park is also ideal for romantic evenings when the lights turn on, and the crowd comes alive.
  • Black River Gorges National Park - This is the best natural park in the small island country, boasting some special species of fishes, birds and other animals which are unmatched. There are two rivers meeting here- the Tamarin and Black Rivers. The first river is ideal for adventure water-sports, and the second is best for fishing. Besides, there are several villa-type resorts which are available on rent. You will have to book them in advance, though.
  • Chamarel - This is a small city located in the district of Rivière Noire. It is known for its volcanic formations, the famous ‘Seven-Coloured Earth’, the famous Ebony Forest and the superbly preserved Church of the Assumption of Mary. There are several rare animals found in a number of ecological preserves.
