This new, thoroughly updated tenth edition of Bradt's Mauritius,
Rodrigues and Réunion remains the most comprehensive English-language
guide available and is the only full-blown guide to focus solely on the
Mascarene Islands, a place where the dodo once roamed and which today
produces exquisite vanilla-flavoured tea. World-leading luxury resorts,
excellent beaches, watersports and lively nightlife, weddings and
medical tourism, the raw unspoiled beauty of Rodrigues and fascinating
birdlife of the Ile aux Cocos nature reserve, world-class hiking through
the mountainous interior of Réunion and an intriguing blend of European
and African culture are all covered. Unlike other guides, Bradt's
Mauritius includes detailed sections on natural history and conservation
for each of the islands, as well as guides to and maps of their nature
reserves. The Bradt guide also offers more detailed background
information on history, culture and politics, plus fuller information on
activities and sights, as well as in-depth coverage of the full range of
accommodation and restaurant options, from budget to luxury. Activities
for each island are included, covering everything from golf and horse
riding to expert analysis of individual dive sites, plus extensive
information on flora and fauna. Adventure sports and hiking on Réunion
are covered, as is the most recent information on getting married in
Mauritius, plus detailed coverage of Mascarene culture. Food, local
recipes, language, customs, music and medical tourism are all included,
and a language appendix offers useful phrases in Mauritian and
Réunionnais Creole. Whether you're planning a honeymoon, fascinated by
the wildlife, or just want to relax into uncomplicated island life, the
Bradt guide is the ideal companion.
