Travel Tips

Sure, Mauritius is a beautiful island destination and the cities of Port Louis and Bambous are worth visiting. Here are some travel tips to help you prepare:

Best Time to Visit:
The best time to visit Mauritius is from May to December when the weather is cool, dry, and sunny.

Route and Accessibility:
The most common route is by plane to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport which is located about 48 km southeast of Port Louis. Bambous is 16.5 km from Port Louis and is directly accessible by road.

Altitude and Acclimatization:
Being coastal cities, both Port Louis and Bambous are at sea level so altitude sickness is not an issue here.

Accommodation and Booking:
There are several choices for accommodation ranging from luxurious resorts to budget guesthouses in both Port Louis and Bambous. It's always recommended to book your accommodation in advance.

Clothing and Essentials:
Pack beachwear, sunscreen, hats and comfortable clothes for the warm weather, and light woollens for cooler evenings. Don't forget to carry an umbrella or a raincoat as surprise showers are common.

Health and Safety:
It's safe to move around in Port Louis and Bambous, but like any tourist place, be aware of your belongings. Tap water may not be safe to drink always, so buying bottled water is recommended.

Local Etiquette and Respect:
Mauritian people are friendly and courteous. While visiting religious places, make sure you are wearing appropriate clothes. Try to learn a few phrases in Creole, the local language, to mingle well with locals.
