A safari in the game-rich Masai Mara and a beach break on the tropical island of Mauritius is perhaps the most quintessential Africa safari and Indian Ocean beach combination. Our 12-night itinerary won’t disappoint.
Enjoy a stay at the classic tented Governors' Camp, set beside the Mara River, where you dine al fresco or in the special mess tent. After three thrilling days on safari - with evenings spent chatting around the camp fire - fly to Mauritius via an overnight in Nairobi. Stay at the Belle Mare Plage where you’ll be beside one of the island's best beaches.
Excellent facilities mean you can enjoy a wealth of sporting activities, as well as spa treatments and wonderful food. This trip offers the perfect combination of locations for celebrating either a romantic occasion, or, for simply getting away from the demands of the urban rat race.
