Madagascar and Mauritius Made Easy

For a relaxed beach holiday with a twist, you cannot beat this trip which combines lemur spotting in a beautiful rainforest in Madagascar with a beach break on the tropical island of Mauritius.

In Madagascar, you stay in a remote lodge near the wildlife hotspot of Andasibe-Mantadia National Park. This lush, verdant rainforest is home to numerous species of lemur, chameleon and bird and you will enjoy exploring a number of exciting trails with an English speaking private guide.

In Mauritius, one of the hotels***our clients enjoy is the Veranda Paul et Virginie Hotel & Spa, where you can relax at the beach or by the pool. Excellent facilities mean you can partake in a variety of sporting activities, as well as spa treatments. Cuisine is a highlight. Meal plan at this particular hotel is Fully Inclusive. 

During your time in Mauritius, we highly recommend an excursion to Black River Gorges National Park, a tropical Mahogany forest remnant that is home to some of the world's rarest and most endangered birds, like Pink pigeon, Echo parakeet, Mauritius kestrel, Mauritius cuckoo-shrike, Mauritius olive white-eye and Mauritius fody.  Ask us for details, if you wish to arrange a visit to this forest; we'd be delighted to assist.

Another day trip our clients enjoy is to the offshore islet Ile Aux Aigrettes, a predator-free sanctuary which holds populations of endangered Mauritian birds such as Pink pigeon and endemic reptiles such as Telfair's skink. (You can learn more about the inspirational conservation efforts of the remaining Mauritian birds, reptiles and their habitats on the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust's website).

*** This is just sample itinerary to provide guidance as to logistics and experiences, so should you prefer to stay in another hotel in Mauritius, do let us know and we'll quote accordingly. Please note that Veranda Paul et Virginie is an adults-only hotel.
