While Mauritius is over 3000km away from Johannesburg and even further from Cape Town, there are plenty of affordable honeymoon packages<\/strong> to the Indian Ocean Island that can be booked through reputable travel agents in South Africa<\/a>. Below are some tips you should consider when booking your Mauritius honeymoon on a budget<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The All Inclusive Mauritius Honeymoon Package<\/h2>\n

A Mauritius honeymoon that\u2019s all inclusive<\/strong> can go a long way in taking the stress out of post nuptial holiday planning by planning itself.<\/p>\n

Your best bet is to be on the lookout for all-inclusive Mauritius honeymoon packages<\/strong> that offer flights, airport transfers, accommodation, breakfast & dinner daily as well as value added services like a private dinner table and complimentary champagne. These packages are generally better value for money as the agents are able to get hold of \u2018special\u2019 airfares and better than usual accommodation rates. In addition to this, booking a holiday package saves you the cost and time of purchasing all the components of travel separately.<\/p>\n

Be wary of: <\/strong>Travel companies that quote prices without taxes<\/strong> as you could get smacked with a whopping purchase price when you\u2019re ready to commit.<\/p>\n

The DIY Mauritian Honeymoon<\/h2>\n

The Do-It-Yourself Mauritius honeymoon<\/strong> is perfect if you\u2019re looking to engage your adventurous side. Look at what\u2019s on offer in terms of self-catering accommodation\u00a0and be ready to book your own flights to Mauritius<\/a> and other travel extras.<\/p>\n

While the DIY honeymoon can be a fun option, the element of surprise will be harder to pull off as your \u2018paper trail\u2019 makes it harder to avoid disclosing your honeymoon plans to your spouse. As a general rule, the DIY honeymoon is probably better suited to couples that have made a mutual decision on Mauritius as a honeymoon destination<\/strong> while the honeymoon package will be easier to pull off if you want it to be an awesome surprise.<\/p>\n

Remember it\u2019s your honeymoon and the chance to relax in the sun with life\u2019s little luxuries shouldn\u2019t be forfeited in favour of turning your honeymoon into an itinerary-less muddle.<\/p>\n
