Observe the marinelife and colourful coral reefs below the water during an afternoon of diving and taste the local cuisine, which features fresh seafood, curries and exotic fruits.
Perfect for couples, wildlife enthusiasts and those seeking the ultimate in relaxation, uncover two contrasting but complementary types of holiday with a stint in South Africa, before venturing on to Mauritius.
