Some Tips For Travel To Mauritius
- Clothing: The wonderful climate of Mauritius allows us to travel throughout the year with summer clothes: shorts, cotton clothing, comfortable shoes and sunglasses. A raincoat can make us need, especially if the trip takes place between January and April. From May to October, also is advisable to wear a sweatshirt or light warm clothes for the nights when temperatures often drop slightly.
- Recommended time of year to travel: Despite being a place that has no high or low season, and can be visited any time of year, we could say that it is desirable to avoid the months of January through April, by the excessive heat , and for being the rainy season and even at the risk of cyclones. If you travel at this time, and although the rainfall is greater in the interior of the island on the coast, you must be prepared for heavy rains that may not leave you out of the hotel for 2 to 3 days. For all this, and knowing that temperatures are very high since November, we could say that the best time to travel to Mauritius, it would be from July to September, that being winter in the island, are much more pleasant temperatures and rainfall drops considerably. On the other hand, if the reason for your trip is diving, the best time would be between December and March, although this sport can be practiced throughout the year.
- First aid kit and precautions: There are no compulsory vaccinations for travel to Mauritius, except Yellow Fever if you have recently traveled to a country at risk. On the other hand, as I always say, you should get the reminders we need vaccines that have put us all here when we were kids, especially hepatitis and tetanus. Very importantly, do not eat anything raw or undercooked, especially meat and fish, to prevent the parasite Gnathostoma, which enters the body, and can even cause blindness and damage any vital organ. Have also been found Chikungunya outbreaks of the disease, transmitted by mosquitoes and affects the immune system, and a slight risk of malaria. It is therefore imperative that you consult in your International Vaccination Center closest action to take, and what would be most suitable composition for the bug to buy. Another recommendation is that you have careful about the medicines you carry, as there are some who use it in Spain, as Di-Atelic Coproxamal or which are prohibited (you carry the original box and prescription).
