Tailor-made safaris to Mauritius

Mauritius is part of the Mascarene Archipelago, where a number of lush volcanic islands can be seen rearing dramatically out of the Indian Ocean. A central plateau rises gently some 600 metres to mark the islands highest point, while the coastline is almost entirely fringed by coral reefs - just perfect for diving.
