Most couples find 10–14 nights strikes the right balance. This gives you enough time to explore multiple reserves and relax without feeling rushed. This length also accommodates travel time and lets you savour both bush and beach if combined.
The dry season (typically June–October) offers superb wildlife viewing across East and Southern Africa. That said, year-round options exist depending on the experiences you want, such as wildebeest migration or lush green landscapes.
