Honeymoons in Zambia

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

In the heart of southern Africa, where raw wilderness meets endless horizons, lies a land of awe-inspiring natural beauty and captivating wildlife: Zambia. Discover a honeymoon safari experience that transcends the ordinary, where romance and adventure intertwine amid dramatic landscapes, balanced out by the gentle rhythm of the African bush.

Why Should You Go on a Honeymoon in Zambia?

Romantic Landscapes

Celebrate your union amidst Zambia’s breathtaking landscapes, from the sheer majesty of Victoria Falls to the well-worn walking safari trails of South Luangwa National Park, where the walking safari was first born.

Intimate Luxury Lodges

Stay in intimate and secluded luxury lodges that cater specifically to newlyweds. Have a glass of champagne as you arrive, before unravelling your stress and fatigue in world-class spa facilities – all within touching distance of Zambia’s remarkable wildlife.

An Itinerary All Your Own

Enjoy personalised services tailored for couples from safari experts who know just how to keep things romantic and incredibly special. After all, this isn’t just any vacation – it’s the safari honeymoon of your dreams.

Couples Activities

Engage in unique activities like sunset cruises on the Zambezi River and private dinners under a carpet of glittering stars. Or, take the adventurous route and embark on wild activities at Victoria Falls.

Walking Safaris

Create unforgettable memories in serene settings. In South Luangwa National Park, where pioneers once invented the walking safari, you’ll track wildlife on foot and feel enriched by the knowledge shared by Zambia’s professional guides and rangers.

Best Destinations for Honeymoons in Zambia

Lower Zambezi National Park

If you’re after romantic sunsets, throngs of elephants, and some of the world’s last untouched wilderness, you’ll fall in love with Lower Zambezi National Park. Here, just across the river from Zimbabwe, you’ll discover exactly why this place is worthy of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

South Luangwa National Park

With numerous secluded, intimate bush camps that are perfect for honeymooners, South Luangwa National Park is arguably Zambia’s finest example of a game reserve. It teems with life, from big cats and Nile crocodiles to grumpy hippopotami and hundreds of bird species, all within sight of the park’s iconic walking safaris.

Livingstone (Victoria Falls)

No honeymoon in Zambia would be complete without a visit to Victoria Falls, one of Earth’s largest cascades and the crown jewel of the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. Watch as the “Smoke that Thunders” crashes into the gorges below, transforming into the Lower Zambezi River.
