Day by day plan
- Day 1
Fly and settle in
Your flight leaves Nairobi in the morning or afternoon and lands in Mauritius in about 4 hours 20 minutes. Clocks go forward by one hour. A driver waits in arrivals and takes you to your hotel. After check in, take a swim, eat dinner and sleep early. Day 2 starts with a tour.
- Day 2
South west island tour
You leave after breakfast with a guide. First stop is the Seven Coloured Earths at Chamarel, where the sand shows red, brown and violet bands. Next you see a waterfall and the Black River Gorges viewpoint. You end the day near Le Morne, the mountain headland that guards the beach.
- Day 3
Catamaran day
A catamaran takes you from the east coast to Ile aux Cerfs. You swim in clear shallow water, snorkel at a reef stop and eat a barbecue lunch on board. Music and drinks are available at the bar. You return to your hotel for a late afternoon rest and a quiet dinner.
- Day 4
North tour and free time
A morning drive takes you to Port Louis. You walk through the Central Market and along the Caudan Waterfront. Then you visit the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden and finish at Grand Baie. The rest of the day is free for the beach or a spa.
- Day 5
Last swim and flight home
Use the early hours for a swim or a walk. Check out and ride to the airport about three hours before departure. The direct flight lands in Nairobi the same afternoon. Keep your boarding pass, since customs may ask where you bought vanilla, rum or tea.

What the Mauritius 5 days package from Kenya includes

Compare this short plan with our wider Mauritius holiday packages from Nairobi if you want a 7 day version or more choice of hotels.
How much is a Mauritius 5 days package from Kenya
A 3 star hotel costs KES 141,000 per person sharing, a 4 star costs KES 166,000 and a 5 star costs KES 216,000. All include return flights from Nairobi. A single traveller pays KES 172,000, KES 222,000 or KES 322,000.
Flights make up about half the 3 star price. The rest covers hotel, transfers and tours, plus our margin. Prices rise in December and in school holidays. Book early for the best seats.
Which side of Mauritius suits your Mauritius 5 days package from Kenya
Pick the coast by mood. Flic en Flac on the west has sunsets and calm snorkelling. Grand Baie in the north has restaurants, shops and nightlife. Belle Mare and Trou d’Eau Douce on the east have long beaches and big resorts.
The south is wild and beautiful but has fewer swimming beaches. For a first visit most travellers choose the west or the north, since the tours reach both easily.
Half board or breakfast only
Half board means breakfast and a three course or buffet dinner at the hotel. It saves you searching for dinner after a long day. Drinks are usually extra.
Breakfast only gives you freedom. Mauritius has many local restaurants and food trucks that cost less than hotel dinners. Our Mauritius 5 days package from Kenya uses breakfast in 3 star hotels and half board in 4 and 5 star hotels. Prefer everything covered? See the Mauritius all inclusive packages.
Flight from Nairobi to Mauritius
Kenya Airways flies direct in about 4 hours 20 minutes. The flight is a bargain for a trip of this kind, since many Indian Ocean islands need a connection. Fares range from about USD 520 to 710 return, depending on the season.
We book the flight, send the e ticket and tell you the baggage rule. Short trips are best with a direct flight, so we keep this in your Mauritius 5 days package from Kenya whenever seats are open.
Visa and entry for Kenyans
Kenyan passport holders have not needed a visa for short stays in Mauritius. You need a passport valid for six months, a return ticket and a hotel booking. Officers may ask about funds.
Rules change, so we confirm the current rule when you book. Your Mauritius 5 days package from Kenya includes help with the papers. For health tips, read our guide to vaccinations and travel health.
Eating in Mauritius
Mauritian food mixes Indian, Chinese, African and French styles. Try dholl puri, a thin flat bread with split pea filling and gateaux piments, small chilli fritters. Rougaille is a tomato based stew with fish or sausage. Fresh seafood and rum are everywhere.
Street food is cheap and safe at busy stalls. A roti or dholl puri costs about 50 to 100 rupees and a restaurant dinner costs 800 to 1,800 rupees. A rupee is worth about KES 3.
Costs on the ground
Plan USD 25 to 50 a day for lunches, drinks and small extras on your Mauritius 5 days package from Kenya. Taxis are costly, so rely on the included tours and hotel shuttles. Cards work widely and ATMs are common.
Tipping is not required, but 5 to 10 percent for good service is welcome. Add a small tip for guides and drivers at the end of each tour.
What to pack
- Light clothes and a cardigan for cool evenings
- Swimwear, reef safe sunscreen and a hat
- Water shoes for snorkel stops
- A UK style plug adapter and a power bank
- A light rain jacket
- Printed return ticket, hotel booking and passport copy

Who this trip suits
This short Mauritius 5 days package from Kenya suits busy professionals, couples and friends. It suits anyone who wants a real island holiday without taking two weeks off. Couples can look at our Mauritius honeymoon packages for added romance.
It is less suited to people who dislike flying or want a deep tour of many places. If you prefer a Kenyan beach, see our Diani beach holiday packages.
Safety, health and getting around
Mauritius is one of the safest islands in Africa and the Indian Ocean. Petty theft can happen on beaches, so keep valuables in the hotel safe. Tap water is generally safe, though many visitors prefer bottled water.
Roads are busy near Port Louis and traffic drives on the left, as in Kenya. Your Mauritius 5 days package from Kenya uses private transfers and guided tours, so you do not need to drive. Buses are cheap but slow and taxis are best booked through your hotel.
Make the most of your Mauritius 5 days package from Kenya
Four nights go quickly. Keep the first evening simple and the last morning free. Book spa treatments and dinners on day 1 so you do not queue later.
If you want one extra activity, add a sunset cruise or a morning of dolphin watching on the west coast. Both fit inside our plan without moving a tour. Tell us when you book and we add the price to your quote.
Extend your Mauritius 5 days package from Kenya
Some guests add two more nights for a slower pace. Others combine Mauritius with a Kenya safari, flying home through Nairobi and heading straight to the Maasai Mara. See our Kenya honeymoon safaris for a couple friendly mix of bush and beach.
To compare island holidays, read about the Seychelles holiday packages, which fit a similar budget with a different feel.

We share payment details in writing only and every payment gets a receipt. The payment options and the balance date sit on your written quote, so nothing is left to memory or a phone call.
Why book with a Nairobi team
We live here. We drive these roads all year, we know which camps are honest about their photos and we know when a park is too busy to enjoy. That local knowledge is what turns a good mauritius 5 days package from Kenya into a great one. Our Google rating sits at 5.0 from 46 reviews and we plan to keep it that way.
