South Africa Safari And Mauritius Island All-inclusive Guide

Summary
Tour Duration: 10 Days | Start: Thornybush Game Reserve, South Africa | End: Mauritius

The beautiful Indian Ocean island of Mauritius and the world-class Thornybush Private Game Reserve in South Africa are the highlights of this 10-day family vacation.

An exploration of the picturesque Thornybush Private Game Reserve, which is next to the world-renowned Kruger National Park, will kick off your stay in South Africa. From your private viewing deck, on a game drive, or on a guided bush walk with your ranger, you can enjoy great bird watching and Big Five game viewing.

After that, it’s on to Mauritius, where you’ll spend six unforgettable days at the Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa, soaking up the laid-back island vibe. Discover the warm Indian Ocean from above and below, unwind in one of the hotel’s peaceful pools, and keep the little ones occupied in the Kids’ Club. Playing golf, riding bikes, doing yoga, snorkeling, participating in water sports, or even just a casual tennis match. The resort offers a wide variety of activities, including these. And when you’re ready to unwind, indulge in a rum tasting or a tea ceremony with an incredible array of 90 distinct blends.

South Africa Safari and Mauritius are ideal for first-time travelers to Africa due to their superb infrastructure, widely spoken English, and easy logistics. A safari-and-beach mix is the perfect combination of the two worlds.
