While traveling, we also recommend that you follow some basic safety regulations for a safe and secure Mauritius vacation.
Safety tips for your Mauritius tours
Beware of pickpockets
Mauritius is a developing economy and pick pocketing and petty crime are rather common everywhere. As with anywhere else in the world, the usual safety rules apply: don’t carry expensive items with you and don’t display your valuable goods, such as watches and jewelry, while traveling. Be careful in markets and other crowded areas.
Be careful while swimming, snorkeling and diving
The currents can change frequently and without any warning. It is best to bathe under supervision, which applies to snorkeling and diving as well. Since sea urchins and other such dangerous animals may be lurking underwater, we recommend that you wear flip flops.
Dress appropriately while visiting religious sites
If you wish to visit a religious site, please dress appropriately with your knees and shoulders covered. If you are unsure about what to wear, your local guide or personal Trip Coordinator will be happy to advise you.
Avoid specific neighborhoods and beaches at night
Lonely, deserted beaches and neighborhoods are best avoided at night. Avoid visiting the poorer residential areas, or visit only in the company of your local guide.

“Enchanting Travels has once again outdid themselves for me. My trip to South Africa and then unto Zimbabwe was flawless. Everything was well organized. What Enchanting Travels does well is make my dreams come true. Got to see all the Big Five by the end of our safari trip. The home hosted lunch in Zimbabwe was an excellent change to our itinerary when a previously scheduled activity fell through. My overall experience was truly wonderful.”

The guides were always there for us and we didn’t need to worry about any administrative details beyond what time to meet the next day. All accommodations were first class and the included tours meant we didn’t have many expenses during out trip as everything was pre-paid.”
