Africa & Indian Ocean Honeymoons
Honeymooners can expect to experience Africa’s natural enigmatic and mystifying aura which makes it a unique and sensational choice. An array of romantic hotspots lie waiting to be discovered, hidden away in its magical coastlines, secreted in its vast wilderness as well as on the unbelievable tropical islands waiting offshore. What's more, these idyllic destinations are for the most part,
completely hidden, discreet and unpopulated – a stark contrast to the mass tourism in the traditional honeymoon spots of Europe and the Caribbean.
Africa’s character is defined by diverse landscapes and cultural contrasts. An African honeymoon, while realising romantic dreams has the potential to surprise and our range of honeymoon destinations on offer mirror this. To ensure you spend your first weeks of married life
on the honeymoon trip that matches your dreams, let the expert consultants at Mahlatini create a personalised itinerary around your specific requirements.

of your requirements, ensuring that romance is an element throughout.
Where to go on Honeymoon
One of the first considerations for honeymooners is the weather. The good thing is that there is always a country in Southern/Eastern Africa and the Indian Ocean,
at any time of the year, where you can enjoy hot and sunny weather.
Our most popular honeymoon choices are what we term 'twin-centre' holidays. This is where a safari in a particular country is combined with a beach stay on the
coast or a nearby island (usually one of Zanzibar, Mauritius or Seychelles). The combination of Safari and Beach is very much determined by the time of year and
your budget. To ensure you choose the right combination of destinations contact the specialist staff at Mahlatini.
Safari
We can offer you a safari that delivers the perfect honeymoon experience. Imagine the romance of a balloon safari over Kenya’s Masai Mara; a starlit dinner in the Serengeti or cocktails from your safari vehicle as you watch the sun set in the Kruger National Park. Take it easy with a drift down the canals of the Okavango Delta on a moroko (dug-out canoe) built for two. Envisage falling asleep to the sound of the crickets through your canvas luxury tent in Zambia's Luanga Valley. Let’s take your 'Out of Africa' dream and take you into Africa.
Beach
An essential element of a honeymoon for most people will be a stay on a perfect tropical beach location. It is a dream to sip cocktails to cool down on a hot day letting one’s gaze drift from the palm trees that line the beach drift to the picturesque sapphire waters. They envisage candlelit dinners on the beach, massages and Jacuzzi baths, sunset boat cruises and generally
being pampered in luxurious accommodation. Africa's East Coast and her Indian Ocean Island are filled with idyllic locations which can provide you with all that
and more. There are huge contrasts between the beaches and the accommodation in Zanzibar, Mauritius,
Mozambique, the Maldives and South Africa
but leave it to us to guide you to that hammock or palm tree.
Adventure
Once in a lifetime opportunities for adventures in Africa are boundless from shark diving in Cape Town to walking safaris in Zambia, from gorilla tracking in Uganda to dune surfing in Namibia and canoeing down the Zambezi River. For those whose adventure is shopping check out Cape Town where you can shop ‘till you drop!
Culture
Africa is famous for its warm welcome afforded to visitors by its rich cultural traditions; from the vibrant and colourful Masai to the beaming children waving as you pass through their villages. There is an abundance of opportunities to experience the African culture and every interaction you will have with the people will bestow lasting memories for you to treasure.
