Driving tips for Mauritius
- Traffic drives on the left.
- Roads can be busy around Port Louis at rush hour, so plan around peak times.
- Mountain roads in the south-west, around Chamarel and Black River Gorges, are winding: take your time.
- Always carry your driving licence and rental documents.
Rather not drive?
If you’d prefer to relax, a private tour with a driver lets you see the highlights without the navigation.
