are a wonderful way to liven up your visit to Mauritius

. March is also the
month of colourful Holi festivities, October means Divali, and Teemeedee in December or
January is all about fire-walking wherever Hindus are found. For celebrations of Creole
culture, October is particularly exuberant in Rodrigues, Seychelles and Réunion.
