16 Day Best of Kruger & Botswana Honeymoon

Arrival / Sabi Sand Reserve

Guests will be met and welcomed on arrival at O.R. Tambo International in Johannesburg and assisted with a transfer to a local flight bound for the Sabi Sand Game Reserve - the first destination of the 16 Day Best of Kruger and Botswana Honeymoon. At Sabi Sand, honeymooners are welcomed and transferred to Lion Sands Ivory Lodge where they will be accommodated in an ultra-luxurious suite which includes an en suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers, a private lounge and a plunge pool. Guests may enjoy breathtaking views over the Sabie River, a setting where game viewing may be enjoyed from the luxury of one's private suite. Two game drives and a game walk are included daily and are conducted by experienced resident rangers and trackers. Guests spend four nights at Lion Sands Ivory Lodge on a full board basis.

Livingstone

Breakfast is followed by a transfer to O R Tambo and from there a flight to Livingstone. Guests will be met on arrival at Livingstone Airport and transferred to their hotel on the edge of the Zambezi River. From the forested banks of the hotel gardens, honeymooners will be able to see the spray of the Victoria Falls, rising like a cloud across the bushveld and throwing rainbows hundreds of feet into the air. The hotel is a serene refuge from the heat of the African sun and will immerse guests in the romance and style of a bygone era. Meals may be taken indoors under softly lit chandeliers, or on the veranda where the cool river breeze gently stirs the night air. Special dinners under star-studded skies may be arranged for the honeymooners. During the afternoon, visit the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, a World Heritage Site overlooking the mighty Victoria Falls, where honeymooners will have the opportunity to view the falls from various vantage points and explore the African curio market outside the park. Guests spend three nights at the Royal Livingstone.

Okavango Delta

After breakfast, honeymooners fly from a local airstrip to Eagle Island Lodge, set in the heart of the Okavango Delta. Eagle Island Lodge is situated in a small patch of secluded paradise hidden from the world by the untamed wilderness. The lodge is located on the island of Xaxaba and is surrounded by Ilala palms. It overlooks a lagoon fed by the tranquil waterways of the Okavango Delta. Here honeymooners will enjoy exceptionally high quality wildlife viewing with prolific birdlife and mammal sightings. Eagle Island is also the venue for one of the most romantic bars in the world; the Fish Eagle Bar, where game viewing may be enjoyed while dining al fresco. The camp offers a cool retreat from the African sun and is shaded by a canopy of indigenous trees.

Guests spend four nights at Eagle Island Lodge on a full board basis. Two game activities are conducted daily by experienced rangers and trackers. These alternate between guided safari walks and water-based mokoro canoe game viewing.
