Why combine South Africa with Mauritius?

It is popular to combine a safari with a beach holiday, and the combination of South Africa and Mauritius is no exception.

This gives you the exhilarating combination of a safari in Kruger, where you can experience South Africa’s magnificent nature and animal life, as well as Mauritius’s kilometres-long sandy beaches, lush nature, and sunny climate offering world-class relaxation. This volcanic island is one of the most fascinating and exclusive islands in the Indian Ocean.

What can you experience on safari in South Africa?

Start your tour with a safari in South Africa, the land known as a world in one country, and experience unique nature and animal life in addition to one of the world’s most beautiful big cities, Cape Town.

You can choose between a safari in Kruger, South Africa’s biggest national park, or the private Kariega Game Reserve, which offers malaria-free safaris and lots of game drives.

Complete your experiences in South Africa with a visit to the world-famous metropolis of Cape Town, which shines with its beautiful location by the coast, exquisite wines, and exciting cuisine.

Most of our tours to South Africa can be combined with a beach holiday in Mauritius. On this page you can see the tours where Mauritius is included by default.

What can you experience on Mauritius?

After your safari in South Africa, the tour continues to Mauritius.

On our Mauritius holidays, you will be staying at a wonderful resort out by the Indian Ocean that offers a bounty of relaxation opportunities in idyllic surroundings.

The days in Mauritius are at your disposal, so you can spend your time far from your daily life, living the dream under the coconut trees that line the long bounty beaches, or go on an adventure on the island, where there are many other things to do beyond lounging on the beach. For example, consider a visit to the capital of Port Louis offers an exciting look at the country’s diverse culture, or go on a hike through the Black River Gorge, a paradise for nature lovers.
