What are people saying about our Mauritius trip
"My husband and I chose South Africa and Mauritius for our honeymoon this past month, and it was amazing....
We were married on NYE and flew to Cape Town on the 4th of January where we spent 6days then flew to Hoedspruit for a safari for three days and ended our trip with Mauritius.
We usually always plan/book our trips on our own but this time around we didn't have the time to research and plan everything because we were busy with the wedding plans, I'm so happy we didn't. Lion World Travel did EVERYTHING for us....
They made everything so easy. We originally heard about the company through Kathy Scott who works there and she completely solidified our decision on going to South Africa. She told us it would be amazing and it really was. Finally we flew to Mauritius and stayed at St.Regis which was also incredible. I cant say enough good things about our entire trip.
Thank you again to Cheryl and Kathy for everything. It was definitely "The honeymoon of a lifetime"
