Mauritius

An exotic island in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar, Mauritius spawns tropical flora and fauna. Tourists trek across sultry beaches to get to the rare vegetation of the Royal Botanical Gardens. Other popular excursions take visitors to the Casela Bird Park to view birds, leopards, tigers, monkeys and a group of giant tortoises, or to the town market to sample local spices.
