Mauritius in January

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Mauritius is such a wonderful, family-friendly destination that’s just perfect for kids! There are so many fun activities to enjoy together, like swimming, diving, windsurfing, and even surfing. It’s a great way to create lasting memories!

January can be a bit rainy though, which might affect some of these activities. But don’t let that dissuade you! The weather is usually quite warm, and those little rain showers can offer a nice break from the heat.

Also, remember that January is part of the cyclone season, but most storms just pass by without causing much trouble. Overall, it’s a lovely time to visit, if it’s the tranquillity you’re after.

Weather in Mauritius

January kicks off the season of heavy rains and stronger winds. While lounging on the beach is a fantastic vacation idea, it might not be the best time for it this month. If you’re dreaming of sunny shores, you might want to consider other months for your beach getaway!
