Many people go there by plane it only takes 9 hours but you can travel there by boat or cruise too.Mauritius is located in Africa so it is a continent. The island of Mauritius is really small compared to Madagascar and Africa.
The weather there is tropical but in winter it rains a lot, the best time to go there is in December when it is cool, dry and sunny outside. In other months it might be a bit hotter outside.
Being both an English- speaking and French- speaking nation Mauritius is a member of both the commonwealth of nations and la Francophonie. They started speaking French their when two prisoners wanted to communicate so they started speaking French so the English fairs wouldn't understand what they were saying.😮
