The weather is particularly hot and balmy in Mauritius in September and if it does rain it will probably only be short showers or evening rains so this will be a pleasant time to visit. As the weather is good you can either relax on the spectacular beaches or go in search of Indian Ocean wildlife such as mongooses and crab-eating macaques.

The overseas French department, Reunion, has good weather year round so hiking and nature walks are great activities whenever you travel. The island is home to over 90 bird species too so keep your eyes peeled for tropical birds flitting through the trees. September is the best time of year for humpbacks in Reunion so let us know if you want to join this adventure and we can plan your Reunion safari.
