5* St Regis Mauritius Resort

Half Board

On arrival our agent will meet you for the 60 minute private transfer to the 5* St Regis Resort in the beach resort of Le Morne on the Southern coast of Mauritius. In this example itinerary we have used the St Regis due to it prime location, super quality and great value.

The St Regis is recognized one of the best hotels on the island in a stunning beach front setting. This area of Mauritius is set away from the more commercial areas of the island allowing for a more genuine 'Mauritius' experience with compromising on standard.

St Regis is perfect for families, as well as for partners, with a superb activities program for all ages, plus free watersports (SUP, wakeboard, sailing, waterski)

Le Morne

Mauritius is a beautiful island in the Indian Ocean, just 12 hours flight from the UK/Europe, with very little time difference. It is widely recognised as one of the very best kitesurfing destinations in the world due to reliable wind and a great variety of kitesurf conditions. Kitesurfing from down-the-line waves to a large flat water lagoon, combined with stunning luxury hotels, at excellent prices, right on the kitesurfing beach of Le Morne. Unsurprisingly, a kitesurf holiday to Mauritius is just about as perfect as it gets.

The iconic Le Morne Peninsula, nestled at the base of the majestic Le Morne Brabant Mountain, provides the perfect setting. Beginners can practice in a shallow lagoon with knee-to-waist-deep water, flat surfaces, and steady onshore winds. This area is also ideal for freestyle training. Just 200 meters away, the conditions transform with side-shore winds and light chop, offering excellent bump-and-jump opportunities. For wave riders, the reef 400 meters from shore delivers everything from beginner-friendly swells to expert-level challenges.

Le Morne Kite Lagoon - Le Morne is one of the world’s most versatile and picturesque spots for kitesurfing (as well as wingfoiling and windsurfing). The lagoon offers flat, shallow water that is perfect for beginners or improvers who want a safe, shallow area to gain confidence. New for 2025 is an impressive Kitesurf centre with a host of the newest Duotone Kitesurf equipment, as well as Wingfoil and Windsurf gear.

Le Point / JW Marriott - Right next to the JW Marriott, there is a centre for renting Kitesurf, Wingfoil and Windsurf equipment, as well as a storage facility. Planet Travel clients staying at JW Marriott benefit from free storage and safety rescue cover. This spot is for independent kitesurfers, who can confidently stay up wind.

Premium Service- For an unparalleled experience, Planet Travel clients staying at the JW Marriott can use the ‘premium services’, including private half-day sessions tailored to your needs. Guests are taken by boat to the best conditions of the day, often to secluded spots with minimal crowds. Instructors provide personalised lessons in waist-deep water, using radio communication to guide you. With a dedicated instructor and skipper, you’ll enjoy a safe, enjoyable, and luxurious learning experience.

The waves at Le Morne - Le Morne is famous for its amazing waves. There are four main wave spots, catering to all skill levels:

Little Reef: A great starting point for beginners looking to try wave riding.
Chameau and Manawa: Located farther offshore, these waves are larger and more powerful but remain accessible for intermediate riders.
One Eye: A legendary wave with shallow water and immense power, exclusively for expert riders equipped with their own gear.

The Wind in Le Morne - The prevailing winds in Le Morne blows from the east or southeast, typically offering side-shore wind from the left. During the Southern Hemisphere summer (November to March), wind speeds average 12 to 20 knots. In winter (April to October), the trade winds are stronger, reaching 15 to 26 knots plus. The winter months are especially popular among Kitesurfers due to their consistent and powerful winds.

Le Morne in Mauritius is truly an Ocean Sports paradise, offering unmatched diversity and conditions for all levels. Whether you’re just starting your kitesurfing journey or looking to conquer expert waves, Le Morne delivers an unforgettable experience in a breathtaking setting.

Days 8 - 12

5* Marataba Private Luxury Safari Lodge

Full Board

After an exhilarating week on the water in Mauritius the second part of the tour takes you to your chosen safari park in South Africa. The flight from Mauritius to Johannesburg in South Africa is around 4 hours. You will be met at the airport and escorted by luxury SUV North to the Marataba Private Game Reserve, approximately 4 hours.

Marataba is one of the most stunning private game reserves in South Africa, with some of the very best family facilities you will find anywhere, including an extensive kids activity programme and even baby sitting for the really small ones. Marataba is also perfect for families as this is a Malaria free area and extremely safe.

Madikwe

Madikwe is a vast and breathtaking game reserve located in the North West Province of South Africa, near the border with Botswana. Covering approximately 75,000 hectares, it is one of the country’s largest and most exclusive wildlife conservation areas. Unlike some of South Africa’s more commercialized reserves, Madikwe is known for its seclusion, offering an intimate safari experience with fewer visitors and an unspoiled natural landscape. Its diverse ecosystems, ranging from open grasslands and woodlands to rocky outcrops and meandering rivers, create a haven for a rich variety of wildlife and bird species.

Originally farmland, the area was transformed into a protected reserve in 1991 as part of one of South Africa’s most ambitious conservation projects. This initiative, known as Operation Phoenix, was one of the largest wildlife relocation efforts in history, successfully reintroducing thousands of animals to the region, including elephants, lions, buffalo, and the critically endangered African wild dog. Today, Madikwe is home to over 60 mammal species and more than 350 bird species, making it a prime destination for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike.

One of the reserve’s most significant advantages is that it is malaria-free, making it an attractive choice for families and travellers who wish to avoid the health precautions required for safaris in other regions of Africa. The climate is typically warm and dry, with hot summers and mild winters, making it a year-round destination. The dry winter months from May to September offer the best wildlife viewing, as animals gather around water sources, while the lush green summers from October to April provide spectacular birdwatching and dramatic landscapes.

Madikwe is renowned for its luxurious safari lodges, which blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment. These lodges range from exclusive, intimate retreats catering to couples and honeymooners to family-friendly accommodations that offer specialized programs for children. Each lodge provides world-class hospitality, with expert rangers and trackers leading daily game drives in open safari vehicles. Morning and evening drives offer the best opportunities to witness the incredible biodiversity of the reserve, from prides of lions lounging in the golden light to herds of elephants making their way through the bush. Sundowner experiences, where guests enjoy a drink while watching the sunset over the African plains, add to the magic of a Madikwe safari.

Apart from game drives, guests can explore the reserve on guided bush walks, which provide a deeper connection to the land by focusing on smaller details often missed from a vehicle. Walking safaris reveal the intricate relationships between plants, insects, and animals, while guides share insights into traditional tracking techniques used by Indigenous communities. Birdwatching is another highlight, with vibrant species such as the lilac-breasted roller, martial eagle, and crimson-breasted shrike providing endless fascination for ornithologists and casual bird lovers alike.

The reserve is also culturally significant, with strong ties to the local Tswana communities. Some lodges offer cultural experiences where guests can learn about the traditions, music, and folklore of those who have lived in the region for generations. Community involvement is a key aspect of Madikwe’s conservation model, with many of the reserve’s staff members coming from nearby villages, ensuring that the benefits of tourism are shared with local populations.

Unlike the more famous Kruger National Park, Madikwe is a private game reserve, meaning that only guests staying at one of its lodges have access to its wildlife-rich landscapes. This exclusivity ensures an uncrowded and intimate safari experience, with strict vehicle limits at sightings to prevent overcrowding and to preserve the natural behavior of the animals. The reserve is also one of the best places in South Africa to see the elusive leopard and the rare brown hyena, a species not commonly found in other game reserves.

As night falls, the sounds of the African wilderness come alive, with the distant roar of a lion or the eerie whoop of a hyena breaking the silence. Guests can unwind in the comfort of their lodges, enjoying gourmet meals under the stars or sitting around a traditional boma fire, sharing stories of the day’s adventures. The night sky in Madikwe is particularly mesmerizing, with minimal light pollution allowing for crystal-clear views of the Milky Way and constellations that have guided African travellers for centuries.

Madikwe remains one of South Africa’s best-kept safari secrets, offering an unparalleled blend of luxury, exclusivity, and remarkable wildlife encounters. Whether it is the thrill of witnessing a predator on the hunt, the serenity of an African sunset over the bushveld, or the warm hospitality of its lodges, a visit to Madikwe is an unforgettable journey into the heart of the wild.
