An immersion into the extraordinary South African and Mauritian wilderness featuring opportunities to connect with nature, engage in local cultures, and gain insights into each destination’s history.
Prep your khaki gear for the first part of your African adventure with malaria-free Sebatana Private Reserve as the backdrop and the five-star, all-inclusive Rhino East Lodge as a base. Open-air vehicles will venture into the bush daily, allowing for ample ‘Big Five’ sightings under the direction of experienced guides.
Itinerary enhancements feature wildlife talks, slow-paced nature walks, and a Champagne brunch in the heart of the savannah. Sundowners will mark night falling, and dinners, served under the starry sky, can be accompanied by traditional music and dancing. Engagement with the local community allows you to gain a better understanding of the culture, and days spent in Johannesburg and Soweto provides further comprehension of the nation’s past.
It's then time to switch to your beachwear as you venture to the Indian Ocean Island nation of Mauritius and check into an all-inclusive resort, with a sustainable focus. Activities like wine tasting, a visit to a crater lake, Black River Gorges National Park, and the remarkable Seven Coloured Earth’ help you get well acquainted with the tropical inland area. Whereas an optional excursion to the neighbouring islands, followed by a BBQ lunch and a sunset cruise, with a glass of local rum in hand, ensure you take advantage of your seaside setting. Finally, the opportunity to be a conservationist for a day while volunteering on an unspoilt island alongside expert biologists and rangers concludes this trip of a lifetime.
