Timo Geldenhuys: Well, Mauritius is this little tiny tropical island, in the middle of the Indian Ocean. 

It’s off the south-eastern part of Africa, about 1000 km East of Madagascar, and very close to Reunion Island, a French island that we can see on a good day. 

Well, it’s not very big at all, it’s a tiny little island, 70 km long by 40 km wide. 

Here, things aren’t really measured in distance, it’s more measured in time. 

So, if you want to drive around the circumference of the island, it’s gonna take you about a day, and for the areas where people live, everything’s about half an hour to an hour, to two and two and a half hours drive, depending on how fast or how slow you drive. 

The Mauritian population is about 1.3 million, all living in harmony and so happy together. 

Definitely the most accommodating and happy multicultural society I’ve ever visited in my life.

The official language is English, but most people speak French and creole. 

The reason you have this nuance is that prior to independence the British were in control of Mauritius. 

So, that was the official language existing when independence happened, but day-to-day, the prominent languages spoken are French and Creole, though people are comfortable with English, as most of the population can adequately speak English. 

No matter where you come from around the world, you’re not gonna feel isolated, and language is not gonna be an issue.
