Mauritius Island Holidays

The Mascarene Archipelago consists of three islands, Mauritius, Reunion (which is part of France) and Rodrigues. The Republic of Mauritius itself comprises the island of Mauritius, Rodrigues, Saint Brandon, Agalega and the Chagos Archipelago.

In short the Republic is made up of small and over crowded islands with few natural resources and a bewildering array of races, religions and cultures. Yet the Republic of Mauritius has managed to offer to the majority of its' citizens living standards thought to be unattainable only a generation ago. How all of this came about can still be said to be a mystery.
