Surrounded by the warm, beautiful, crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful paradise islands in the world and for this reason is very popular for weddings and honeymoons. This picturesque island is renowned for the hospitality of the locals, the elegant hotels and spas and some of the world's finest beaches and lagoons. Along with all the fantastic beach holidays, this tropical paradise has some of the most pristine golf courses in the world as well as incredible fishing spots. Resorts such as the Belle Mare Plage, La Prince Maurice, Le Tousserok and The Heritage are particularly suited to honeymooners offering discounts and special honeymoon extras.

South Africa is an extremely popular honeymoon destination, largely because of its incredible weather and scenery but also because it offers some of the most luxurious hotels and game lodges in the world. Unlike other destinations in the world that provide simply one attraction, South Africa is an entirely diverse country offering a range of experiences, safari normally being the highlight. From a cultural and scenic trip along Cape Town and The Garden Route to a romantic getaway to a luxury Safari lodge in the Kruger Park, there is so much to choose from. You will find it difficult to spend your money with a favourable exchange rate meaning you can truly spoil yourselves on spa treatments, romantic meals, adventure activities and shopping sprees.

You can either choose to start your honeymoon by unwinding in Mauritius, in which case we usually recommend staying 7 to 10 days. There are direct flights from London to Mauritius on Virgin, British Airways and Air Mauritius. From here you may fly directly to Johannesburg or Cape Town to begin the South African leg of your honeymoon. Should you wish to incorporate Cape Town, the Winelands and the Garden Route, we would recommend spending at least 7 to 10 days in South Africa. Normally honeymooners including a safari in South Africa, either in the Kruger Park or the Eastern Cape, give themselves 3 or 4 days to take advantage of all the exciting game viewing activities. There are direct flights back to Europe from both Johannesburg and Cape Town. Whichever country you choose to visit first, Mahlatini will book your flights into the one country and out of the other.
South Africa and Mauritius are year round weather destinations. A 'wet' season falls from December to March in Mauritius, however, this does not necessarily mean it should be avoided. Chat to one of Mahlatini's experts regarding which time of year will best suit you.
