Mauritania and Mauritius - African Nations Mauritania is a moderate Muslim republic located in northwestern Africa. A visa is required, as is evidence of yellow fever immunization and proof of sufficient funds. Facilities for tourism and internal travel are limited. Medical facilities in Mauritania are limited, and medicines are difficult to obtain. While Mauritania is safer than most African countries, petty crime exists, and the regions bordering Morocco and Mali may be hazardous due to land mines and banditry. Local currency may not be imported or exported. Dollars, especially $100 bills, may be easily exchanged in exchange offices or banks. Credit cards are only accepted in a few hotels in Nouakchott and Nouadhibou. Cash advances on credit cards and collect calls are not available from Mauritania. Mauritius The Republic of Mauritius has a democratic stable government and a growing economy. Facilities for tourism are highly developed. Although the spoken languages are French and Creole, English is the official language. An onward/return ticket and evidence of sufficient funds are required for entrance to Mauritius. U.S. citizens do not need visas for a stay of three months or less for business or tourism. Petty crime is common in Mauritius.
