  Mauritius is located approximately 2000 kilometres to the south eastern coast of Africa and lies east of Madagascar. Mauritius has 330 kilometres of coastline almost entirely surrounded by coarl reefs, a centeral plateau and impressive mountains. 
      Situated near the Tropic of Capricorn, Mauritius has the advantage of a subtropical climate. The climate is fairly acceptable to everyone and the heat is never unbearable. There are 2 seasons, summer and winter with a variation of temperatures. Mauritius does not suffer from a monsoon climate. Tropical cyclones are a common occurrence in Mauritius and tend to disrupt the weather for only about four days per year bringing a lot of rain in the region. Visitors should be prepared to spend a few days indoors during extra heavy rains. December through March is the best time for diving, when the waters are at their clearest.
   Mauritius has the second highest GDP per capita in Africa. The economy is mainly dependent on sugarcane plantations, tourism, textiles, and services but other sectors are rapidly developing as well. Mauritius and Seychells are the only two African nations with a 'high' Human Development Index rating.
   The education system in Mauritius is largely based on the British system since Mauritius was a former British colony. Educaton has been free through the secondary and post secondary level.
