Embark on a 15-night adventure to South Africa and Mauritius. Your first stop is Cape Town, one of our favourite cities, set in a spectacular location with Table Mountain as its backdrop. There are many memorable sights to visit, including the country’s oldest building, The Castle, the historic Parliament Buildings, City Hall, the Slave Lodge, and the unforgettable Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years. From Cape Town, you’ll fly to Kruger to spend three nights on safari at the Abelana River Lodge, an unforgettable highlight of many holidays.
And then to Mauritius, where you’ll spend 7 nights (all-inclusive) at Beachcomber Canonnier. You’ll have plenty of time to relax poolside or on the beach. And if you’re still feeling energetic, you can explore the island’s many highlights.
