Safety and security in Mauritius

Hello
There is no increased incidence of any exotic diseases on the islands, so no special vaccinations are required.
As for swimming, observe any swimming bans and heed warnings about strong currents.
During the summer months, be sure to pack repellent for evening outdoor seating and for trips into the countryside (Sept Cascades/Seven Waterfalls, Black River Gorges, etc.).
Crime
Crime and attacks against tourists are rare, but basic caution is still advised. Do not leave belongings unattended and keep valuables stored or locked in a safe.
