Honeymoons in Africa, holidays & tours

Introduction

Tanzania

Tanzania's iconic Great Wildebeest Migration takes place in the Serengeti, but the country is also home to large cats, vast elephant herds, and healthy chimpanzee-filled rainforests.

The blue Indian Ocean islands, paired with unspoiled wildlife parks and reserves, provide for an amazing African honeymoon getaway that is both unspoiled and real.

It is currently Africa's most popular honeymoon destination. The warmth and friendliness of the people, along with the world's best parks and reserves, islands, and beaches, is unrivalled and makes your honeymoon in Africa even more special.

When you're on an African honeymoon safari, you can expect skillfully guided wildlife drives and the possibility to go hot-air ballooning. You may go on walking safaris, night drives, off-roading, and even mountain biking to the list if you stay in a private reserve or conservancy.

Botswana

The next honeymoon destination in Africa is Botswana. On a honeymoon safari in Botswana, you can see tens of thousands of elephants, big cats, and wild dogs, as well as rivers overflowing with crocodiles and hippopotamuses.

At the right time of year, reserves and parks offer a wonderful safari experience. Botswana is easily accessible, with intimate mobile boutique camps in remote areas, and can easily be combined with South Africa's or Mozambique's beaches.

Game drives are the main emphasis of a Botswana honeymoon; you'll go out early in the morning and late in the afternoon in search of big game, returning to camp with a spotlight to catch nocturnal animals on the hunt. 

South Africa

One of the best Honeymoon safaris in South Africa. A honeymoon filled with beautiful beach destinations, gorgeous wildlife lodges and campgrounds from beginning to end. It's one of the rare destinations in Africa where you can easily merge the bush with the beach.

Vineyards, deserts, and savannahs abound throughout the Rainbow Nation, making it difficult to realize that you're in the same country. Furthermore, some of South Africa's greatest safari honeymoon places provide star-bed sleepouts, allowing you and your sweetheart to spend a night under the African sky.

Kenya

Despite the fact that this is mostly a major tourist beach destination, there are a few private villas or lodges that provide truly romantic honeymoon getaways. 

For a honeymoon in Kenya, the coast can be paired with the Laikipia, Lewa, and central highlands. Lamu, in the north, has beautiful beaches in a remote position that can be paired with a trip to the Masai Mara or private wildlife parks and woods. many lodges also offer hot-air balloon safaris that include a champagne breakfast and visits to a Maasai town.

Uganda

The beaches of Lake Victoria go well together, and few things are more romantic than a wooden cottage amid the African bush. Another fantastic choice is the Nile River. A romantic honeymoon holiday in Uganda for wildlife and environment lovers means thrilling animal encounters, wilderness experiences, and exploring gorgeous landscapes without the crowds.

Mozambique

When looking at where to honeymoon in Africa, do you tend to look out for an out-of-the-way beach retreat with plenty of romantic amenities and beautiful weather? Mozambique's private islands are great for a romantic honeymoon in Africa. Southern Africa's best beach locations are the Quirimbas and Bazaruto archipelagos.

Combine these with some excellent honeymoon safari areas in South Africa, just across the border. The Quirimbas are ideal for scuba divers and water sports enthusiasts, but you don't have to get your feet wet to appreciate them. Beachside massages and sunset tours on a traditional sailing dhow are also available.

Namibia

A whole different kind of beauty. With the barren, flat desert and the wildlife-rich Etosha National Park, the space and contrast have their own special beauty and attraction for honeymooners. There is also the Atlantic Ocean, which offers breathtaking views and sunsets. Namibia is ideal for the adventurous honeymoon couple seeking space and tranquillity, as well as beautiful scenery and friendly natives.

The Namib desert is a captivating land of calm, primitive beauty with night skies bursting with stars during the dry season, which runs from June to October. A visit to the iconic Sossusvlei dunes, which rise hundreds of feet above you, is a must-do activity on your African honeymoon : you can either hike up a dune to greet the morning sun or take a balloon ride for a bird’s-eye perspective. You'll also go on a desert exploration with professional local guides, looking for rare creatures in a surprisingly diverse setting.
