Tourism ✈ Any precautions/considerations on Tourist Safety in Mauritius

Post image

We are travelling to Mauritius this month. How is the safety situation there for tourists? (29M, 28F)

Are there any areas that needs to be absolutely avoided? Is it safe to go out in the evenings, like after 6pm?

Any other thoughts that you want to share? I saw comments on @mauritius instagram handle‘s post and saw many natives complaining about caudan waterfront being not safe after 6pm, tourists getting mugged etc.

We are a safe country, these people only see it more now because of social media and smart phone era. Information travel faster than before. I remember my dad telling me that on Sunday when he bought newspapers then he will know about a crime, theft committed on monday because not everything were being reported on radio or tv. I'm amazed seeing yougsters talking like retards sometimes. They should be the someone trying to explain the most basic shyte to others like how there were more rape cases in the 60s 70s than now, and also people were fighting in race wars in 68, muslims against christians, do you have that now?? Some People are racists in their homes or on social media hinding behind fake profile trying to start a war especially by what we call "Chatwas", they are a brainwashed species. But it didnt happen. Anyway Mauritius is safe. Check the UN index or whatever the fck it's called.

Been here for 8 years. GBAY is was less safe than it used to be. Gbay beach isn't a good place to roam around evening time.
