vacation to South Africa
Breanna Bruno, 27th November 2025We had the most amazing honeymoon to South Africa! It was everything we wanted and so much more! We will definitely be going back!!
Accommodation Visited
Welgelegen House
“The Welgelegen house was in the perfect location in Cape Town. It was a close uber drive to Table Mountain and the V&A Waterfront. Kloof Street was within walking distance so we were able to walk to lunch/dinner most of the days. Housekeeping did a great job of keeping our room clean and the complimentary breakfast was a great addition! We would definitely stay here again!”
La Cotte Farm
“La Cotte Farm was a beautiful hidden gem right in the center of Franschhoek. We could've spent the entire week here. The town was absolutely beautiful and we were able to walk to almost everything that we needed to. The winelands were a one of a kind experience and we had great weather to lay out by the pool and do the wine train during the day!”
Shimungwe Lodge
“Shimungwe lodge was a great place to stay for the full safari experience. The food at the lodge was just OK but other than that we had the most amazing time. The managers, Natalie and Gerhart were so nice and made sure we were well taken care of during our stay. Our ranger Lucan and tracker Danny were so nice and knowledgeable about the animals. We even got to meet the owner of the lodge and learned so much about the back story and history of the lodge which was really cool. We learned so much and really enjoyed every single game drive that we went on! The lodge is going through some renovations in January, so I would love to go back and see the upgrades.”
Staff Review
“Jessica and the Mahlatini team were amazing to work with. They planned the perfect honeymoon for us and captured all of our wants/needs. They also well prepared us for what to pack, restaurant recommendations, excursions while we were there, and what is needed for travel. They truly made this experience so easy and Jessica was always there to answer my questions or schedule a call when it was needed. She also went above and beyond and scheduled some excursions for us as well as set up a private driver to take us so we truly did not have to worry about anything while we were there. Everything ran smoothly and I did not have to worry about a thing.”
