Often our safari going families seek something of a Caribbean style beach holiday after their time in the bush, and Mauritius is one of those resort islands that fits this requirement perfectly.
With a tiny Jewish population, and a Rabbi friend of ours living on the island, we have solved the problem of Kosher catering on an island with many hotels to choose from, but very few who can offer acceptable standards of Kosher meals.
Regular flights are available from either Johannesburg, or Cape Town and 4 hours later you enter a world of all inclusive resorts, sandy white beaches, endless water sport activities, warm Indian Ocean water, and a real sense of laid back, barefoot luxury at most of the resorts.
The saying many people would use is: “West is best”, where most of the finer resorts are located around the Grand Baie town in the north west corner of the island. Besides the obvious beach attractions, options to participate in scuba diving, catamaran tours, hikes to waterfalls, parasailing, swimming with dolphins and great silk and cotton textile shopping in Port Louis. Mauritius is simply an island brimming with diverse cultures and a fascinating history. Consider a 4 to 7 night stay here, and unwind after all the safari excitement!
