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 East or Southern Africa, 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. Of the various options in African twin centre holidays, we believe these combinations provide the best experience:
Of course you aren't limited to these, with plenty of other choices available. Let us know if you have a specific journey in mind and we will advise you accordingly.

Safari
We find that safari offers the perfect honeymoon experience. What can be more romantic than a balloon safari over Kenya's Masai Mara; dinner under the stars in the Serengeti or sun set cocktails from your safari vehicle in the Kruger Park? Imagine the two of your floating down the canals of the Okavango Delta on a moroko (dug out canoe) or falling asleep to the sound of the crickets through your canvas luxury tent in Zambia's Luanga Valley. Let us turn your 'Out of Africa' dream into a reality.
Beach
For most people a stay in a tropical beach location is an essential element of a honeymoon. People dream of sipping cocktails on a hot day while lounging on a palm tree-lined beach, gazing out over azure 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 and South Africa but leave it to us to guide you to that hammock or palm tree.
Adventure
The opportunities for 'once in a lifetime' adventures in Africa are limitless, from gorilla tracking in Uganda, walking safaris in Zambia and dune surfing in Namibia to shark diving in Cape Town and canoeing down the Zambezi River. If shopping is your 'adventure' head for Cape Town where you can shop until you drop!
Culture
Africa provides an abundance of cultural experiences. African people are vibrant and colourful, whether it be the famous Masai people in their bright red blankets to the smiling children waving to you as you pass by through the villages. Every interaction you will have with locals, whether it is with your driver guide or local ladies selling their wares will provide lasting memories and a genuine, warm welcome.
