Safari and Mauritius
11 nights. Departs from the UK anytime.
The perfect Bush and Beach combination. Enjoy the exhilaration and excitement of game viewing in the malaria-free Welgevonden Game Reserve, a mountain bushveld reserve with a climate that makes it worth a visit all year round. Welgevonden is certainly one of the finest places to watch wildlife, sense wilderness and touch the spirit of true Africa, with antelope from the largest eland to the diminutive duiker, and cheetah, lion and leopard always close by. Then fly to the Indian Ocean island
of Mauritius to relax on a tropical beach. A perfect honeymoon perhaps.
If you are looking for a variation we can also use game lodges in Kruger National Park, Madikwe Game Reserve or the Waterberg area as a combination with Mauritius. Please contact us for a tailor-made quotation.
