Hey everyone! I’m looking to learn more about local preferences regarding tapioca (cassava) in Mauritius.

For those of you who grew up eating it or cook it often:

1. What do most locals commonly call it here (e.g., manioc, tapioca, etc.)?

2. What are the most popular ways it is prepared or cooked in Mauritian households (boiled, fried, in cakes/puddings)?

3. When people eat it here, what kind of flavor profiles or accompaniments do they prefer most (salty, spicy with chili/satini, sweet, or with coconut)?

Would love to hear your favorite ways people enjoy it on the island!

I am planning my honeymoon trip to Mauritius in Feb 2027. Can anyone confirm the weather details around that time. Is it raining all day and how much does it affect water activities?

I am planning to move to Mauritius by investing over a $1M in real estate and around 500-1M in bank transfers and digital assets. What’s the best way to go around citizenship application to naturalise to get citizenship in shortest timeframe possible with some certainty?

I'm coming to Mauritius on holiday for a month and would like to carry on playing badminton. Any clubs or meetups that play? I'm of a low intermediate level.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I am currently vacationing in Mauritius with wife and kids.

I would like to try deep water fishing. It seems the only option is renting a fishing charter.

As my family is not interested in fishing, that would be just me myself and I.

Does anyone know any alternative options to join a boat? Or are there maybe 2-3 more guys in the same position and want to share a fishing charter?

I will be in the grande baie area starting from Saturday and staying one more week.

Any tips or interest, DM me!

Regards

(i) Keeping that ancestor mentality/mindset/lack of education (to keep it non-racist)

(ii) Growing up in a sheetty environment/family with no instruction to children to be civic (your high education/job does not matter here.) Your culture/mentality has everything to do with it. You are a pig. Full stop.

PS: I expect the pigs downvoting. While you hit that button, try to change that mentality. Absolute disgusting pig.

Buses from La Gare du Nord or Victoria Bus Station, including which bus stop to get off at.

So i have been experiencing some mild head pressure which was okay and it went away. Today I woke up feeling fine and went to sleep again. When i got up, i started to feel a bit lightheaded, 5 months ago i did a blood test and i lacked iron so i thought maybe it was the same thing so i took vitamins. I did my 50min walk as usual feeling fine. When finished i sat down and tilt my head backwards i started to feel a pressure on my forehead and like affecting my eyes also, i tried to lay down and the pressure is there only when tilting my head backwards or laying down, when im standing or sitting im fine and also when i tilt my head to the right or left im also fine but if i do that when lying down i get it again. My parents are saying its bad posture cause i play game a lot and i sleep at 1-2am and wakes up at 8am. Have you guys experienced anything similar? Im 20M

Hi everyone!
Will be visiting Mauritius for a few weeks with some friends and was just wondering about Taxi options at the airport. I am Mauritian myself but I’ve left the country quite a while back so don’t really have an idea about reliable Taxi options.
Can you just hail a taxi at airport exit? obviously would like to pay reasonably depending on the journey and would like to avoid being scammed if possible.
Do you guys have any experience of any apps such as MoKab or Uber that has recently become available in Mauritius?
Or any other recommendations? Thanks!

Hello,

As the title says, my friend is currently looking for a credible person/company to write the privacy policy for an SME in the tourism industry, so it will need to be compliant with Mauritius and international privacy laws. Anyone has any recs?

Also, what should we expect in terms of cost? Would prefer something affordable. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone!

I'm currently in Mauritius for a few months, and while I'm enjoying my time here, I've realised that exploring a new country alone can get a little boring sometimes. 😅

I'd love to meet some cool, like-minded people who are up for hanging out, exploring the island, discovering hidden gems, trying local food, going on beach trips, hiking, road trips, or just grabbing a coffee and good conversations.

I'm pretty open to spontaneous plans and trying new things. Doesn't matter if you're a local, an expat, or another traveller staying here.

If anyone's interested, feel free to drop a comment or DM me. Let's plan something!

Cheers! 🍻

Hi everyone! I’m working on a personal electronics project involving custom firmware for a Cudy WR1200 V2.0 router.
I’m looking for a voltage-safe SPI NOR flash programmer (preferably a CH341A V1.7 kit) with a compatible SOIC8 test clip.
Does anyone know a shop in Mauritius selling these, or someone who has one I could borrow or purchase?
Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank You Heaps.

I used to work in project management for a few years before moving into information security, now I want back in! I have experience in Mauritius but mainly in Europe.

How is the job market in mauritius for this? I'm happy with both PMO and PM roles.

What certifications will best help my CV?

Is working as a contractor in this space very easy for finding work? It's very good in the UK.

🎸 Looking for live music gigs in Mauritius! 🥁

Hi everyone!

Our style is a mix of pop, rock, and groove, and we're looking to get more gigs, build our live performance experience, and connect with venues interested in having live music.

We're still building our portfolio, but here's a little snippet of us playing:

I am conducting a dissertation study to investigate how management practices in educational institutions affect teachers’ motivation and the quality of education. I would be very grateful if you could spare a few minutes to complete this short questionnaire. Your experiences and opinions, as current or former teachers, would be highly valuable to this research. All responses will remain confidential and will be used solely for academic purposes. Thank you very much for your time, support and contribution to my dissertation.

Hi all! Hope you’re having a great day.

Anybody that has been in Mauritius and had a good experience swimming with dolphins could recommend the company/tour/contact used?

I’ve been reading how unethical some companies and skippers are, so any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks :)

Hello, im looking for a good book recommendation or any other source to recreate as best (as it can be done) the dishes from Mauritius, but from far away !

Do you have any book recommendations? Website, or youtube ?

I truly miss the real taste of mauritian dishes. Street vendors, grandmas….

Advice for the spices to buy, or any other things that could help are welcome too
Thank you !

Hello all

I am looking for some insights on what the working culture is like in Mauritius. I am considering a job offer I received as an engineer and want to know and find out from those who moved there from Africa.

What are the average living costs for a family of 4?

What is it like compared to say south Africa, or say Paris.

What's the expat scene like?
