Madagascar & Mauritius Island hopping

Fly overnight from London Heathrow to Antananarivo via Mauritius

On your late morning arrival in Mauritius, connect with the 90 minute flight over to Antananarivo where you arrive mid afternoon, local time. You'll be welcomed and transferred to stylish La Maison Gallieni to overnight with breakfast included. (For couples this is marvellous - if yours is a family holiday, we'll provide other recommendations).

After breakfast, your dedicated professional, English-speaking Malagasy guide and your driver will collect you from Maison Gallieni. Set off on the 3hr,30min drive eastwards to the escarpment, where you stay 3 nights in an en-suite bungalow at Andasibe Hotel or Vakona Forest Lodge on a half board basis.

Your guides will take you on day and night rainforest walks, in search of the resident wildlife which include the marvellous Indris, which sound like humpback-whales.

You'll be driven back up to Antananarivo with a shopping stop at one of the artisan's markets or galleries, before you are taken to Ivato airport to check in for the quick flight to Mauritius.

On arrival in Mauritius you'll be met and transferred to the charming Hotel 20 Degrees Sud to stay 7 nights in a Deluxe double room on a half board basis.

Luxuriate in style in Mauritius. You may also want to explore some of the island - those keen on natural history can visit Black River Gorges National Park where you can see some of the world's rarest birds - or visit the offshore islet Ile Aux Aigrettes.

If you wish to extend your time on Mauritius or upgrade to a fully inclusive option, please call us for details.

You'll be collected from your hotel and transferred to Mauritius airport to check in for the Air Mauritius flight back to London. (Flights can depart in the morning or may be overnight, depending on travel date).
