Newmarket expands range of South Africa safaris

Escorted tour specialist Newmarket Holidays has two new South Africa safaris, including its first with a Mauritius beach extension.

The 15-day On Safari in South Africa with Mauritius Beach tour starts with five game drives to spot the ‘Big Five’ in Sebatana Private Reserve and Welgevonden Game Reserve.

On day nine, the holiday transfers to the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius, where guests can stay by the beach or opt for a range of excursions and activities.

Prices start from £3,938, saving 5% until June 9, and including all-inclusive accommodation, game drives, excursions, activities and all flights, with departures from January to December 2024.

The second new holiday, On Safari in South Africa – Rhino East Lodge, is a 10-day tour that starts from £2,527, saving 5% until 9 June.

It includes game drives, full-board accommodation and return flights, with departures February to October 2024.

Rhino East Lodge (pictured) offers five-star accommodation in the Sebatana Private Reserve, with an outdoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi and sundeck looking out over the bush.

Kathy Vigolo, head of long-haul product, said: “Adding more range to our African safari collection has been a priority over the past few months.

“Agents and customers have asked many times about a beach extension, so we are really excited to include Mauritius in the programme, and Rhino East Lodge is a fabulous addition to our accommodation choice.”
