SAYING GOODBYE TO MAURITIUS (Best Things To Do Around Mahebourg) - Mauritius Road Trip Ep. 9
Рет қаралды 29,077
It’s our last day on Mauritius and we’re sad to leave! In this video we make the most of our last day and explore the best things to do around Mahebourg. Mahebourg is a town on the east coast of Mauritius, which is the least visited side of the island. Before driving to Mahebourg we spent some time in a resort in Quatre Cocos, as you can find some good deals in this area. We then check in to our guesthouse in Mahebourg, try manioc biscuits that are famous on Mauritius, head to a restaurant that is supposed to serve the best Biryani on Mauritius (it is delicious) and then drive to Blue Bay for a great spontaneous snorkelling trip. This was the perfect way to end our Mauritius road trip and we hope you enjoyed coming along!

This video is part of a multi-part series of our ultimate ROAD TRIP THROUGH MAURITIUS! Mauritius is a popular honeymoon and beach holiday destination but it has so much more to offer than beautiful beaches (although there are many of them as well). We’re really excited to get to know this African island country and its culture and cuisine. On our road trip we’ll spend three weeks driving from the South up the West coast, then further into the North and finally down the East coast. Our goal is to get to know Mauritius from all sides, as well as check out its beautiful beaches and nature.

A local mauritian here. Appreciate your video it's great seeing people from different countries enjoying the local culture. Just a slight note the best Biryani is in Port louis. It's a well known fact among locals too.

Hey Zoe and Simon, I don’t typically comment on videos, but this is definitely one of those pleasant exceptions. I’ve been binging your Mauritius Road Trip series and I must say that the editing and content itself are top notch. I’m Mauritian born myself but relocated to Melbourne, Australia with my parents when I was a child. I’ve been back several times but not recently whatsoever and your videos are definitely making me miss my home country. I just need to finish my medical degree then I’m back off in instant (I probably shouldn’t be watching your videos since I have an exam tomorrow 😂). I hope you enjoyed your time in Mauritius and continue to enjoy your worldwide journey, stay safe!

It is actually wrong. Bear with me. He is a German speaker so he is pronouncing it the way he will prounounce it in German; "Mahburg". Mahebourg ( Named after Mahe de Labourdonnais) is prnounced wrongly in Creole contrary to how it would be pronounced in French. So the local way of pronoucing it would be ,making reference to German vocals, would be "Mai" (like the month may) and making reference to english would be like pronouncing "booh" the h being silent. So it "Mai (DE)-Booh(EN)". Ich hoffe es hilfe. Kreolisch ist manchmal nicht so einfach !

Hi Zoe & Simon, I just discovered your channel a few days ago and binge watched your series on Mauritius where I was born. I now live in London. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your independent tour of the island and the research you have put in to understand the history and cultures of Mauritius and the way you have taken to the local street food. Your filming and editing skills, combined with your calm and clear narrative and gentle bantering between you two make it a joy to watch your videos. It's a shame that I did not come across your videos before my trip to Mauritius in February because I have picked up a few tips on eating places which I will check out next year, especially that biryani in Mahebourg! Full marks on your pronunciations of the place names, which made me curious about your backgrounds given neither of you has a particularly German accent. Now I know about Simon being half English from a previous comment, but that usually does not help with the impeccable French accent, so my conclusion is that you probably speak French too! I'm looking forward to watching your series on Italy which I visit a lot, followed by Asia, Australia, Germany.... Keep up with the good work educating us about food, culture and other things around the world! Wishing you both all the best with your future travels ❤

Brilliant adventure Z&S. Glad you made the most out of the island. And I know that feeling of coming close to the end of sunny vacation days 😊 Fun fact, 5 years ago, I was hosting 6 German friends and we all went for lunch at the exact same spot where you had the Biryani before leaving for cold Europe ; they were heading back home and I was going for my Erasmus 😅I didn't have the opportunity to visit ever since. However the odds seem pretty high this year 😇 we will see how it goes. Hit me up if you ever visit Paris! (or Mauritius again) - I'll be glad to meet up for a beer. LG, Dylan

@ZoeandSimon Жыл бұрын
Hi there, we booked our car via a German rental car comparison site. We like these sites because they compare all offers and also take care of extra insurance. The rental company that we ended up going with is called "First Car" rental and everything went smoothly. We paid 48€/day incl. comprehensive insurance.

Awesome trip. I have been watching your videos and making notes. We are planning to go in early September for 8 days. I am tossing on where to stay. Bel ombre seem to have nice accommodation and reasonable price. I have booked at Tamassa and we are hiring car so we can do daily trips. Been around island where do you think is nice place to stay overall. I keep changing my mind :)
@ZoeandSimon Жыл бұрын
Hi there, glad our videos were helpful! 🙂 Choosing where to stay is a tough decision, but it's good that you've got the rental car to check out different places during the day. Of course it all depends on what you're looking for and if you're travelling alone, as a couple or family. In the end you can have a great time anywhere, especially if you found accommodation that you like. For a mainly beach focused vacation we really enjoyed Trou-aux-Biches on the west coast, as the beach was great, the vibe relaxed and the sunsets amazing. But if we were staying a bit longer and wanted a good mix of everything then the south of Mauritius is great too! We stayed in the area around Le Morne, which is really pretty and overall the south is just less touristy. You can also easily reach some great hiking areas if you're interested in that. We didn't visit Bel Ombre however, so we can't say anything about it. For an overview of all the accommodations we stayed in we also wrote an overview of our trip on our website www.zoeandsimon.io (under itineraries). Hope that helps and that you have a great trip! 😊

Hi guys I'm planning to visit Mauritius with my wife at the end of November begin December but I'm worried about the beaches are they really like the beaches in tropical destinations with perfect underwater sight? And if so what are the best beaches according to you? Did you book your guesthouses beforehand or after arriving there? Last question how is to drive on the left side of the road for someone who never drove on the wrong side?
