animals by lne1
Hi all, Since moving here my kids have become obsessed with animals. They have given me a list but I have no idea where to look for them. They want pretty ones :). This is their list. Here goes. Chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits and turkey. I thought ...
Well I know you can get live chickens at Goodlands market on a saturday morning. They're not sold as pets if you know what I mean... but no reason they couldn't make a good pet. Maybe you could rescue one or two? :) Read More
day use of hotels by butimbusy
Hi, My family and I enjoy visiting the various hotels/resorts on the weekends. Since all beaches are public, most hotels are happy to let us in to use their beach facilities for free, then we can buy lunch or drinks there if we wish. Last ...
Do you have more info on the C beach club? I was quoted 600rs? Read More
It turns out that Citizenship not even an option! by SirRichBranson
Hello, My wife and I have been reading the forum for last few days but we seem to have discovered what for us would be a show-stopper in ever immigrating across to Mauritius. I am a senior ICT professional though even that wont help if we've ...
To be honest I wouldn't even bother thinking about it. If you are moving here with the mindset of moving permanently you are alrdeady jumping the gun. First come here, work, then decide if you want to stay for good. You may change you mind anyway, ... Read More

As Ben says cost makes alternatives almost impossible here. Even in fully developed countries in Europe that have huge economies, the cost of energy is a massive problem that they are struggling to stay on top of. Unfortunately most people here ... Read More

Cost of rental homes in Mauritius by HeyJude
We have lived in the same house in Mauritius for five years; it is a large house with five bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas, nice balconies, good size garden with swimming pool and lock up garage. It is an older home with many little ...
It's mainly greed and an attempt to artificially inflate the market. Some expats come over with no perception of the market and end up paying way over the odds for the first place they see, which is what some owners hoping for. The downside for some ... Read More
URGENT big decision in 2 days !!! by Arnie_UK
hi everyone. it is gonna bit BIG TIME for me in 2 days as I will have to decide potentially if I want to accept or not a job in Mauritius. im now in mauritius for 2 days for final meetings/interview. i thought coming here would give me the ...
It's not really anything to do with the expats. Most Mauritians dont really integrate with other ethnic groups in my experience. For example white Franco Mauritians don't interact with anyone else and vice versa. Culturally they seem to be miles ... Read More
Be warned...Dogs poisoning in the north by abz
I am devastated after we lost our 4 years beloved dog, who was poisoned. It happened on Monday afternoon, when he left our home for a short stroll. We did call the vet who did his best to help. But with much sorrow our dog did not make it, he ...
Sorry I didn't realise you're not in mauritius. As people have said, many parts of your argument simply dont apply here, which is probably why we are on different wavelengths. Read More

I think we're having 2 separate conversations. I'm sure there are varying degrees of 'good ownership' and thats not my concern. I'm sure there are owners who don't look after their dogs as well as they should. But thats a minor issue compared to the ... Read More

the question was asked '5 reasons not to choose Mauritius'. People answered. Don't get all upset about it. How can people do their homework and make an informed decision to come here if people refuse to have a word said against it? Nowhere is ... Read More

I dont totally agree. Certainly the rules you are applying would be perfectly reasonable in my home country, but not here. Training a dog not to eat off the street is very difficult when they were doing it well before you came along, and their ... Read More

Dogs in Mauritius? by Mr. Pickles
Hello all, I am a professional dog trainer in America. I am considering a move to Mauritius and I want to start a dog training business there. Does anyone know if there are many dogs that would need my services? Do many people have dogs there? Any ...
My honest opinion is that it would be a very limited venture and would have to be aimed mainly at the expat community. Attitudes towards dogs here are a million miles from what you will be used to in the U.S. Which is a shame :( Read More
