Zambia Safari and Mauritius Beach Holiday

An idyllic escape to the romance of Zambia and Mauritius

A romantic safari and beach combination, explore one of Africa’s best game viewing areas, Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park, and then hop over to the island paradise of Mauritius. Stay in remote bush camps and experience an authentic safari in the birthplace of the walking safari, and then spend your days adventuring in the ocean luxuriating on the white sand beaches and admiring the sunsets.

Discover the iconic and wildlife-filled South Luangwa National Park with expert guides on game drives and walking safaris. Expect phenomenal night-time leopard sightings, breakfasts in front of huge concentrations of hippos and crocodiles and memorable elephant and buffalo encounters on foot (from a safe distance). Staying in two camps you will combine the central location of Kafunta River Lodge with the remoteness of Island Bush Camp, an authentic and rustic bush camp. Reconnect with nature and each other and enjoy lantern lit dinners under the African sky. Follow this unforgettable experience by unplugging on the beaches of Mauritius. Sands Suites Resort and Spa is tucked away in a serene and sheltered spot on the island’s west coast, with amazing views of Tamarin Bay and Le Morne Mountain. The resort is surrounded by two reefs ensuring calm waters for SUP paddling, kayaking and glass bottomed boats. You can head further out to sea on dive excursions, sunset cruises, and speedboat trips. For some R&R, head to the spa or the swimming pool.
