Honeymoon to
South Africa & Mozambique
Overall, our trip was amazing. It was the trip of a lifetime and Haleigh and I both had the time of our lives.
Nicki and Mahlatini took care of absolutely everything on this trip - we didn't have to worry about a thing knowing Nicki was multiple steps ahead of us every leg of our journey!
We rarely stay in 5 star luxury resorts so we were blown away by the amenities provided at Constance Lemuria and Denis Private Island. It was a wonderful trip and there wasn't anything where we expected more of.
