What’s the experience like?

Our driver was already there at Mauritius SSR airport, holding up my name — I spotted it before I even got my bag. It’s funny how a little sign can feel like a lifeline after a long flight. The arrivals hall smelled faintly of coffee and something sweet I couldn’t place. He smiled (I think his name was Rajesh?) and helped with my battered suitcase, then led me out into the warm, sticky air. There was this moment where I just stood there, blinking in the sunlight, not quite believing I’d made it.

The car was clean and cool inside — honestly, that first blast of AC felt like a reward. On the way to the hotel, Rajesh asked if I wanted to stop for water or a SIM card (which saved me later when I got lost in Port Louis). He told me about his family living nearby and pointed out sugarcane fields rolling past the window. The drive from the airport to my hotel took maybe 45 minutes? Time stretched out; I kept watching palm trees flick by and thinking about how different everything looked compared to home.

For the return trip, pickup was right at my hotel reception — no fuss. We chatted less that morning; maybe we were both tired. But he waited patiently while I checked out, which took longer than expected (I always overpack). There’s something comforting about knowing someone’s looking out for you on both ends of a journey. Even now, when I think of Mauritius, I remember that first ride — quiet, slightly surreal, but safe all the way through.
