Absolutely, and we highly recommend it! You can easily install your SouthESIM for Mauritius before you even leave home or while you're waiting for your flight. The beauty of an eSIM is that while you install it beforehand, your data plan only starts counting down once you connect to a local Mauritian network upon arrival. This means you can land in Port Louis, switch on your phone, and immediately have data to order a taxi, find your hotel, or send that first 'I've arrived!' message, without any fuss.
