Can I use my Kenyan license to drive in Mauritius? If not possible, will I get a Mauritian license without doing any tests?

Hello JohnFinney,

You might be able to drive with your Kenyan license for a couple of weeks, however give the police department a call for official information : http://police.govmu.org/English/Organis … ranch.aspx

all the best,

Depends on how long you will be in Mauritius.

If you are coming as a tourist for a few weeks or one or two months, then you will be fine with your Kenyan license + an international driving permit.

But for the long term, you will need to either convert it to a Mauritian license (if this is allowed) otherwise you will need to take the driving written and practical tests.

As Bhavna mentioned, contact the traffic authorities to see how it goes.
