About us

A community group, formed four years ago

Mauritius Social Group was formed four years ago as a social group for the Mauritian community in the UK. We organise international group trips, cultural experiences and pilgrimages — journeys that have grown mostly through word of mouth, with up to 15 travellers on our largest tour so far.

We travel as a small group, not as a tour list. Flights, hotels, coaches and guides are arranged in advance, itineraries are shared before departure, and there is always someone familiar beside you — whether it is your first journey with us or your fourth.
