Safety:
The contrast between rich and poor is also big in Mauritius if you compare certain neighbourhoods in the cities with the rural villages. The country is politically stable and crime is fairly low, but of course it can still occur. No need to worry though, because we will make sure you will travel and stay in a safe area. However, like everywhere else in the world, we can’t give you 100% safety guarantee. The necessary precaution and alertness are recommended as always when travelling abroad. Therefore, we will make you aware of all the do’s and don’ts in Mauritius during our specific safety meeting.
