Mauritius Tours & Safaris – Beyond Africa Safaris
Luxury Mauritius Holidays, Tailor-Made Tours and Beach-Safari Combos
Overview – Why Mauritius
Mauritius is a once-in-a-lifetime island: powder-white beaches and turquoise lagoons meet rainforest peaks, UNESCO heritage, world-class golf and reefs alive with color. Think Île aux Cerfs catamarans, Chamarel’s Seven Coloured Earths, Black River Gorges hikes, Le Morne’s kitesurfing and that famous “underwater waterfall” illusion from the air.
The island also holds deep cultural significance at Le Morne Cultural Landscape (UNESCO) and sacred Ganga Talao (Grand Bassin), adding story and soul to every itinerary.

Le Morne Brabant and UNESCO heritage, lagoon beaches, Île aux Cerfs boats and golf, Chamarel Seven Coloured Earths, Black River Gorges hiking and birding, coral reefs and diving, kitesurfing at Le Morne, whale and dolphin watching, multicultural cuisine and markets.
