What's included
New Year in Mauritius. Seven days rather than the usual six, which buys a full free day on New Year's Day itself — Saturday 1 January — with nothing scheduled at all.
Four hours from Johannesburg and no visa for South African passport holders. Tea plantations and national parks in the south, the Port Louis markets in the north, and beach days in between.
