Unique Luxury Safari Experiences for Honeymooners in Botswana
Go Beyond the Classic Safari

A honeymoon safari should be that little bit more special, combining luxury and pure exuberance. Botswana's remote, eco-sensitive camps are a step above exclusive, with only a select few sharing the surrounding expansive wilderness, making them perfect for honeymooners. At one with nature, you will become attuned to every sound and often enjoy unbelievable wildlife sightings from the comfort of your room.
Sleep Beneath the Stars on a Mobile Safari

This is a no-brainer for adventurous honeymooners! Dinners under the stars, elephants walking through camp, salt pans... We've found that for our customers, the most comfortable way to go about a mobile camping safari is to combine the rawness of road trekking with some home comforts, such as a designated driver, accompanied by a small convoy of camp staff who will set up camp and prepare your meals.
Botswana offers an abundance of areas to explore on a mobile camping safari. There is something magical about the atmosphere created by the soft, warm glow of a paraffin lantern, showering under the starry night sky, and the flicker and warmth of a campfire. In addition to daily game drives, a variety of activities are generally offered throughout your itinerary. These may include walking trails, boat trips, night drives, scenic flights, canoe trips, cultural tours, or other adventure activities, depending on your location. The thrill of a mobile safari is not only in the destination but the journey itself.
Paddle the Okavango Delta by Mokoro

A trip to Botswana wouldn't be the same without a visit to the waterways and lagoons of the Okavango Delta. The Delta is a permanent source of water offering year-round sightings of the most spectacular wildlife including lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hippos. The water channels are best explored by traditional Mokoro canoes, followed by a moonlit dinner at one of the nearby luxury camps.
Quad Bike Across the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans

Travel across Botswana's Makgadikgadi salt pans on 4-wheel drive quad bikes to Kubu Island, a granite extrusion covered with baobabs, one of Africa's most beautiful desert habitats. An estimated 2.7 billion years old, the island is an odd break in an otherwise flat landscape of empty pans.
Spend 2 nights sleeping under the stars and 2 days exploring the pans where you will have the chance to find flint, beads and glass used by ancient bushmen from years ago and, at certain times of the year, it is also possible to witness the colorful extravagance of 30,000 flamingoes, calling at the pan when water is good. It is one of Africa's finest close-to-nature experiences. Follow this unique honeymoon by spending 3 nights in the luxurious Jack's Camp.
Pair Botswana with Beach or Beyond

For couples seeking the perfect balance between adrenaline and serenity, Botswana pairs beautifully with other destinations. After your action-packed safari, consider unwinding on the white-sand beaches of Mozambique or the Seychelles, or add a few nights at Victoria Falls for a romantic mix of adventure and iconic sightseeing.
