Why Choose Us?
We are an independent prestige tour operator who has been arranging bespoke, luxurious and memorable holidays since 1998. The business started when Susie Freeman fell in love with Mauritius and wanted to make it affordable to her friends. She arranged a charity ball there and has never looked back. Susie is now widely recognised as the UK’s leading Mauritius holiday expert and her company, Susie Freeman Travel has grown to be one of the best-known tour operators in the Indian Ocean. She now offers bespoke holidays to Mauritius, The Seychelles, Southern Africa and the Maldives, destinations she believes will realise your holiday dreams.
What We Offer
Our expertise, experience and connections are second to none. We have been curating authentic and affordable luxury holidays to Mauritius for 22 years and visiting for 30 years, so we know the island inside out. With excellent connections from Johannesburg to Mauritius, South Africa was a natural progression as it makes a great two centre holiday, and we started with ‘Bush, Booze and the Beach’ twenty years ago. Extending our expertise in the Indian Ocean, we soon added The Seychelles and The Maldives. As so many people visiting the Indian Ocean islands travel via Dubai, we also offer stopovers there – with a hop over to Zighy Bay for those who want a few days in Oman.
Over this time we have developed a quality portfolio of handpicked hotels, villas and safari lodge accommodation. We only recommend destinations that we know well and visit regularly and hotels if we’ve stayed, inspected them thoroughly and got to know the management. Plus we have even created our own star-rating system so you can chose with complete confidence.
You want to be certain of expert advice when booking a holiday far afield. We are approachable and friendly, and our diligent research combined with our genuine commitment to our clients’ needs ensures we can offer bespoke tailoring of your holiday plans to exactly match your aspirations. Our clients can be confident in our total discretion and confidentiality at all times.
We are of course, fully ATOL bonded. All our transfers are private and we offer personalised tours, and bespoke experiences – some exclusive to us.
Our Reputation
We have grown by word of mouth, and repeat business, so every client is a VIP. Susie Freeman, the founder of Susie Freeman Travel is still directly involved with every aspect of the business and is a well known figure in Mauritius. Her numerous connections, networking skills and passion for the island have led her to create a brand synonymous with unrivalled quality travel. Susie Freeman Travel is a name that opens doors on the island of Mauritius, and her clients are more likely to get upgraded in island hotels and that coveted table at an exclusive restaurant. South Africa is all tailormade – it’s popular for honeymooners to combine a safari with the beach in Mauritius.
In the UK business sector, Susie Freeman Travel has built an excellent affiliation with the Inns of Court in London and has arranged travel for several legal conferences. Susie Freeman Travel is also trusted to make confidential travel arrangements for many TV celebrities and personalities from the UK.
Local Representation
Equally important is the quality of our local suppliers. They are who look after you during your holiday and it is their guides, vehicles and support service that we rely on. So, naturally, we work with the best the island has to offer. We have worked together for many years and know each other well.
