Kom Braai ( Dewald Visser and Sylvia Smith) was invited by Beachcomber Tours to travel to some of their top resorts on the beautiful island Mauritius. We left Cape Town on Air Mauritius and on our stopover in JHB we were treated in the Air France Lounge before departing to Mauritius. Upon arrival we were taken to Le Victoria Hotel (View Photos of Hotel) and resort where we checked in for 4 days.

On the first morning we cooked (braaied) up a storm with Chef Nived on the beach. He showed Sylvia the finer tricks of outdoor cooking Mauritius style. (Click here to view the fantastic dishes they made)

After the braai we relaxed at the pool, Sylvia was treated in the top spa and later we dined in one of the hotel’s fine restaurants.

The next morning we did the travel thing and decided to hit the road and visit Skydive Austral for a tandem parachute jump…wow, wow, wow and another wow… On the way back to Le Victoria we visit the famous Pamplemousses for an unbelievable garden tour.

 Three days later we travelled to Grand Baie area and checked in at another Beachcomber hotel, Le Mauricia. This hotel is in the “young people’s area “ of Mauritius with fantastic amenities, restaurants, pools and a great beach. Once again we created some magic with the chefs at Le Mauricia. 

After spending the evening dancing away, we got up to join Bruno from Island Wings on his seaplane, and afterwards we did a full day trip to Gabriel Island thanks to top tour operator on the island Coral Breeze.

Before departing back to SA we joined Dominique for a full day of fishing thanks to his Fishing and Hunting business. We spent the evening at Villa La Ramiche in the beautiful mountains on the East Coast of Mauritius.

Kom Braai would like to thank everyone who made this fantastic dream trip a reality!
