Magic of Mauritius Cruise
On La Réunion, you can explore the dramatic interior of forested gorges and awesome craters, before relaxing on the fabulous beaches of neighbouring Mauritius - a heaven of an island. Four nights on the Kenyan coast, with the opportunity to take an optional safari in search of lion, elephant and zebra, make the perfect end to a truly magical holiday.
