Why Choose A South African Honeymoon?

1

Romantic Destinations

South Africa boasts a wide variety of honeymoon destinations from which to choose. Isolate yourselves in the enrapturing wilderness of a private game reserve, sunbathe on the wild shores of the east or south coasts, sip on award-winning bouquets amongst the sensational mountain scenery of the Cape Winelands or enjoy your sumptuous accommodations in one another's company.

2

Value for Money

Of all the Southern African countries that offer memorable honeymoon vacations, South Africa offers the best value for money. Not only are many high-quality, budget-friendly options available, but honeymooners who want more luxurious ventures can also take advantage of favorable pricing.

3

Personal Space or Private Guide

Many honeymooners look forward to their valuable alone time - but we also know that traveling to South Africa is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many. We will, therefore, work with you to ensure the perfect balance between your guided adventures and your private endeavors.

Experiences To Savor On Your Honeymoon

Private Dining

Many safari lodges spoil honeymoon guests with a private dinner on the deck of their suite or in some magical wild location, like a riverbed or under a marvelously ancient tree. Relish each other's company in a private space unlike any other while also enjoying the quality personal attention of attentive staff on the periphery of your experience.

Honeymoon Extras

A honeymoon is an indelibly special occasion, and South Africa's guest houses, hotels, and lodges like to go out of their way to enhance your celebration. From complimentary bottles of bubbly rose petals strewn invitingly around your suite or a candlelit bubble bath at the end of a long day of exciting activities.

Romantic Interludes

A honeymoon should always include ample spare time to indulge in one another's company. These interludes are enhanced by spectacular surroundings, from strolling along Camps Bay's vibrant promenade at sunset to listening to the sounds of the wilderness from the plush suite of your safari lodge.

FAQ

Will our honeymoon be entirely guided?
You determine the amount of guided and private time on your honeymoon. Some couples like to pack their days full of activities and tours, while others relish alone time to unwind in each other's company.
Can activities be added to our honeymoon?
Indeed, while most of our honeymoon packages include minimal activities, this is mainly to maintain a preferred balance between private time and guided time. As every couple has unique preferences, we would be happy to add or substitute any activities for you.
Which is the best destination for a honeymoon safari?
The Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve hosts the finest collection of luxury safari lodges in South Africa, each with inherently romantic touches. However, be sure to explore every option before making your decision—the rare sand forests of Phinda or the dramatic cliff faces surrounding Marataba may also appeal to your romantic nature.
When should we visit if we'd like to enjoy the beach during our honeymoon?
If you'd like to enjoy some beach time in South Africa, it is best to visit in late spring and summer (September to March), as Cape Town and the Garden Route get relatively cool and wet in the winter. South Africa's East Coast, however, may be enjoyed year-round.
Are any honeymoon discounts applicable?
Some lodges offer honeymoon discounts - typically half price for the bride's stay. However, this is the exception rather than the norm - be sure to check beforehand.
Will the properties that we stay at be informed about our honeymoon?
Yes, we ensure all properties know about your couples' occasion. Most properties will enhance your stay with extras like a romantic turn down or bubbly on arrival.
What is the most romantic honeymoon experience available in South Africa?
While the answer to this question may always be largely subjective, the luxury tree houses in the Lion Sands Private Game Reserve (Greater Kruger National Park) have become honeymoon legends. Spend your night alone with your significant other, surrounded by the wilderness, enjoying fine dining and a sumptuous bed under the stars.
How long in advance should we plan our honeymoon?
If you have particular accommodations or destinations in mind, we recommend a year in advance to avoid disappointment.
Can we combine South Africa with other countries for our honeymoon?
Yes, but remember that this will make your honeymoon significantly more expensive. Popular honeymoon destinations in bordering countries include Sossusvlei in Namibia, the Okavango Delta in Botswana, Victoria Falls (from either Zambia or Zimbabwe), and Mozambique's remote archipelagos.
Is there a time limit on how long after our wedding we can use your honeymoon packages?
Not at all - we understand that 'life happens' and sometimes trips need to be postponed until a more convenient time frame. A handful of lodges do have a limit if you'd like to take advantage of honeymoon discounts, but should you forgo this you will nevertheless enjoy special honeymoon touches.
