Officially part of Africa, although it’s 1200 miles away from the rest of it, Mauritius has the continent’s highest per capita income. Port Louis, the modern capital of this 38-mile by 29-mile island, is a bustling port with a revitalized waterfront and busy market. But most visitors gravitate toward resort areas such as Mont Choisy. Quiet Trou-aux-Biches and more bustling Flic en Flac are popular with scuba divers. Rivière Noire is ideal for those eager to do deep-sea fishing.

Of volcanic origin and generally sheltered by barriers of coral reefs forming natural, safe, crystal clear lagoons, Mauritius has long been a dream destination. Known to the Arabs as early as the 10th century, but officially discovered in 1505 by the Portuguese navigator Pedro Mascarenhas, the island was occupied successively by the Dutch (1598-1712) and the French (1715-1810), and was ceded to Great Britain in 1814 through the Treaty of Paris. On 12 March 1968, Mauritius became Independent. Republic Day was proclaimed on 12 March 1992.
