Often forgotten

  • Checked baggage · About 25 hours of travel each way, airport time included

    Many long-haul fares include one bag; low-cost carriers price each bag separately. Check the fare rules.

  • Airport transfer · Arriving by air

    The local transport line budgets getting around, not a private transfer. Check whether your stay includes one.

  • Travel insurance · An international trip

    Medical cover abroad and trip cancellation. Priced by the insurer for your party and dates.

  • SIM or eSIM · An international trip

    Roaming or a local data plan for the days you are away.

  • Tips and service charges · Any trip

    Customs differ by country; restaurants and drivers may expect them.

  • Souvenirs and gifts · Any trip

    Outside the activities line, which budgets what you do, not what you bring home.

About Mauritius

An island in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar, with one international airport in the southeast and a road network that makes a rental car or taxis the practical way to move; a light rail line links Port Louis with towns inland. Beaches, hiking and the interior highlands are the draw. Winter from June to September is cooler and drier, summer is hot and humid, with cyclone risk from January to March.
