Starting our ULTIMATE MAURITIUS ROAD TRIP 🇲🇺 Ep. 1: South Coast To La Gaulette (Souillac, Le Morne)

In this video we're starting our ultimate ROAD TRIP THROUGH MAURITIUS! We’re really excited to get to know this African island country and its culture and cuisine. On our road trip we’ll spend three weeks driving from the South up the West coast, then further into the North and finally down the East coast. Our goal is to get to know Mauritius from all sides, as well as check out its beautiful beaches and nature.

Thanks for sharing Zoe & Simon.
Sorry that i am a year late
I would like to add that St Felix beach @ 11:35 is the start & finish point of Mauritius marathon which is normally held in July. You ran towards Le Morne village and back. It is not a closed race though. ( the road is not closed to traffic during the race ).
All the best from the dodo island.

I was born in Souillac, Mauritius but migrated to Australia in 1972. Enjoy your stay on the island. In the old days there was a sugar mill at St Felix where my brother-in-law used to work. His house was about a mile from the beach.

Good video. In which car rental did you hire a car? What about the safety of the cars during public parking? Might have our travel luggages in it

[dackskiftarna]

Me and my girlfriend have been watching all your Mauritius video - you guys are so good at doing this! Especially you Zoe - that smile of yours if beyond what words can describe!
A question do, We´re going to Mauri in a week for 10 nights, usually we rent a scooter on vacations, would you say car is a better to explore the island?

[sriisland]

Gucken euch seit Thailand, da wir ein paar Wochen später auch erneut da waren. Nächstes Jahr besuchen wir u.a von 4 asiatischen Ländern Malaysien, da ihr so schöne Eindrücke gezeigt habt.
Zum aktuellen Video: Man merkt voll die Leichtigkeit im Schnitt, top Animationen, haben super gelacht in der Autovorstellungsszene. Super coole Entwicklung! :) freuen uns immer jedes Mal, wenn die Notification kommt. Grüße Felix & Ann-Kathrin aus Berlin

Are there any charging stations in Mauritius to charge the electrical vehicles?
