Holidays to Mapou

Memorable and highly photogenic, the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean rivals the Maldives and the Seychelles as a top honeymoon destination. Offering pristine beaches and lush panoramic landscapes, it eclipses the competition thanks to a rich history of French and British rule. Once home to the now-extinct dodo bird, Mauritius is a haven for exotic animals and birds and has set up nature reserves to make sure that the fate of the dodo does not threaten other native species.
