African honeymoon destinations are as diverse as the continent itself, and they may be experienced separately or in combination. Africa offers extraordinary hotels in stunning locations, discreet service and excellent food, full isolation and exclusivity, and world-class travel logistics. Candlelit meals on a tropical beach, beneath a starry sky in the jungle, or simply relaxing in your private pool.
Take a morning cruise on the Chobe River while watching the elephant’s shower.
The massive elephant herds that roam Botswana’s Chobe National Park are well-known. Their daily routine involves a morning shower in the river followed by a trip to the river’s bank to feast on the lush river grass that grows abundantly there.
Why not start your relationship with a romantic morning cruise along the Chobe River? Bring your camera and capture images of the elephants…and the hippos…and the crocodiles…while drinking your morning coffee or tea. Chobe National Park is a home for kingfishers, waders, and other uncommon water birds.
If you don’t like mornings, a romantic sunset cruise with a bottle of wine and some tasty canapés is always a fantastic alternative.
Up Close and Personal with Africa’s Penguins
Why not go on safari and celebrate your love with another animal that mates for life? Of course, we’re talking about penguins! Our guests are sometimes astonished to learn that penguins may be found in Africa since they are typically associated with northern species. In contrast, Cape Penguins thrive in two colonies near Cape Town, South Africa. We are grateful that these intelligent and active animals established colonies in the 1980s since their presence offers delight to so many of our visitors.
If you wish to see these Cape Penguins while seeing Cape Town, you may do so from the well-built wooden paths at Stony Point. A trip to Boulders Beach, where you may swim alongside and observe Africa’s penguins, is a better way to spend your time.
Witness the great migration in the Serengeti
The Serengeti Under Canvas camp moves across the park all year, bringing tourists as close to the Great Migration as possible. Seeing over 1.5 million wildebeest and zebra move in unison is a mind-boggling and emotional experience. This charming camp may help you reconnect with nature by bringing you down to basics (in lavish style though, we promise). Each Bedouin-style tent boasts beautiful décor and luxurious Persian rugs, as well as clear views of the stars.
Take a hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara to view the wildlife from above.
You and your loved one will enjoy a bird’s eye view of the African wilderness as you and your loved one soar gently and quietly over the African wilderness at daybreak in a hot air balloon.
After a cup of coffee in the morning, you’ll board a gorgeous, colorful balloon before dawn to glide over the amber-hued Great Rift Valley and the animal parade below. Bring your camera—your honeymoon photos will wow your friends back home.
Take a private nighttime game drive to observe the animals come to life, and keep a lookout for the elusive leopard.
Visitors to Kenya’s conservancy regions may view animals after dark, which is a fantastic opportunity to spot some of the more elusive critters that prefer to hide during the day.
Can you picture yourself and your spouse going on a game drive in a safari truck with your own Maasai driver at dusk? Watch the animals come to life after a peaceful day in the sun. Returning to a campfire with a glass of chilled wine or a cocktail? In comparison, a Caribbean cruise is dull and uninteresting.
Spa Treatment
Relax with a couple’s massage in nature’s haven while watching antelope and zebra pass by the open spa terrace. Your romantic honeymoon safari will be both a wild experience and a stress-relieving retreat, with a variety of therapies combining nature’s healing essence and quiet surroundings.
A private walking safari
Your skilled safari guide will lead you and your spouse into the African bush to experience what it’s like to walk in the footsteps of the creatures you’ve come to see. A walking safari may include sightings of giraffes, zebra, elephants in distant bands, and other wildlife. Standing in an elephant’s footprint is awe-inspiring. Running your hands through the savannah grasses or gazing off into the beautiful blue horizon are equally pleasurable sensations.
It’s amazing how different the safari experience is when you tour the area on foot rather than in a safari vehicle. Walking safaris are a fantastic way to spice up your experience.
