I traveled to Mauritius alone — it was a business trip. To be honest, I felt quite safe there. I stayed in a budget apartment for about €50 per night. It was a small apartment with access to a terrace, a shower, and a kitchenette. I highly recommend renting a car, as taxi prices are almost the same — if not exactly the same — as the daily cost of a rental car. The island is quite small. I visited several beaches, went on a tour, and swam with wild dolphins. I also took a trip to the capital, Port Louis. I didn’t have a lot of time, so most of my trip was about relaxing on the beach. There are also special tours to some of the smaller nearby islands — I definitely recommend taking one, they’re incredibly beautiful. And don’t miss the chance to try their local homemade rum — it’s very tasty and smooth.
