Nothing says romance better than a honeymoon safari in Southern Africa.
Especially one that combines cosmopolitan Cape Town with the thrill of the wild in the Kruger National Park. Add on the showstopper delights of an exclusive Mozambican island and this is a luxury journey made in honeymoon heaven.
Spend your first few days as a married couple in Cape Town. Your luxury accommodation at the Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa will soothe your travel-weary body and make your soul sing. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and set against a mountain backdrop, dine in style at Azure, enjoy a private spa treatment for two, and then set off to explore the Mother City.
Swap the city for the bush and head to the Sabi Sands Game Reserve in the Kruger Park. Famed for its Big 5 safaris and luxury accommodation, Londolozi Private Granite Suites are among the best of the best. Expect utter exclusivity and privacy, a pristine and gorgeous setting and tailored safari experiences.
End off your honeymoon on Benguerra Island in Mozambique. This unspoilt island features deserted beaches of pure white sand, sparkling turquoise seas, sunny days and star-studded nights. This is paradise found. Aptly named, a honeymoon surely is the sweetest time newlyweds can spend together.
