Location and Size:

Mauritius is a beautiful little island situated in the Indian Ocean, to the east of Madagascar and about 2,000 kilometers off the southeast coast of the African continent. It's not a very big island; its land area is about 2,040 square kilometers, making it roughly 1.5 times the size of London! Despite its small size, Mauritius has a lot of enchanting places to explore.

Climate:

Mauritius enjoys a tropical climate, which means it’s warm and sunny for most of the year - a perfect playground for sun-seekers. There are two seasons: a warm, humid summer from November to April and a relatively cooler dry winter from June to September. The island gets its share of rain, which keeps it lush and green. The temperature often ranges between 20°C and 30°C, making it pleasant for outdoor adventures.

Flora and Fauna:

The natural beauty of Mauritius extends to its diverse flora (plants) and fauna (animals). Over centuries, many unique species have called this island home.

Flora: Mauritius has a rich variety of plants. Among the native species, the ebony trees are quite famous. The island also flaunts colorful flowers like the Boucle d'Oreille and the Trochetia, the latter being the national flower. Moreover, the sugar cane fields stretching across the land are a common yet captivating sight.

Fauna: The fauna of Mauritius is as unique as its flora. Although the famous Dodo bird is extinct, the island is a sanctuary for many other species. The pink pigeon, the Mauritian kestrel, and the giant tortoises are some of the island's cherished creatures. The surrounding ocean is also teeming with life, housing vibrant coral reefs and a variety of fish and marine mammals. The geographical features of Mauritius make it a haven for nature lovers. From the soft whispers of the palm trees to the playful waves of the ocean, and the symphony of colors in the flowers and creatures, every bit of the island is a melody of Mother Nature's
