Mauritius |
The republic includes the island of Mauritius, as well as the islands of St. Brandon, Rodrigues and the Agalega. Along with Réunion and Rodrigues, Mauritius is part of the Mascarene Islands. Its colourful sea-life provides a playground for many divers, with many types of water-sports for bathers. Idyllic beaches, warm turquoise waters and a balmy tropical climate are what make this beautiful island a true paradise. Mauritius's climate is dictated by southeast trade winds; from May to November there's a warm, dry winter and from November to May it turns into a hot, wet summer. November to April is cyclone season. |
