Why Mauritius for a Safari?
Mauritius hasn't become Africa's favourite island getaway by accident. With impossibly blue waters, powder-white beaches and travel packages to suit every budget, coming on safari here is an easy decision for many. Whether your idea of relaxation is spending balmy days sunbathing or jumping from one thrilling watersport to the next, in Mauritius you're invited to set your own pace. With all-inclusive options and children's facilities, this African island is a top beach destination for families seeking a good dose of seaside R&R.

Mauritius Family-friendly Activities
There is much to do for families and Mauritius generously rewards those who venture out. Once you've had your fill of beach-lounging and diving coral reefs, take an excursion to the exquisite botanical gardens.
Hike or bike in the Black River Gorges National Park, or visit the plantation mansion-turned-museum for a historic look at the island's colonial past. Why not set aside a morning to explore the horse-riding trails that wind through the island’s forested hills? Or take the family souvenir shopping at the Port Louis or Grand Baie markets. On some nearby islets, you can enjoy a stretch of beach all to yourselves for a sumptuous picnic.

Mauritius Accommodation Options
Nearly all accommodation in Mauritius is set right on the coast, providing easy access to inviting beaches and excellent coral reefs for diving and snorkelling.
Stayovers range from large resorts with swimming pools and long rows of shaded sun loungers, to secluded private villas and beachfront cabins where privacy takes preference over on-demand activities. Many lodges and hotels offer child-minding services and Kids Clubs with age-appropriate activities, making Mauritius the ideal choice for a stress-free island break.
