The superb safari game viewing, top-class food and wine, breathtaking scenery and the friendly people make South Africa a first-rate honeymoon destination. Add to this the good Sterling to Rand exchange rate, the fabulous sunny weather and the ease with which you can add on a beach extension to Mozambique, Mauritius or the Seychelles, it's no wonder South Africa honeymoons are so popular.
Cape Town and the Garden Route will offer you both a great mix of romantic 5-star hotels and characterful boutique guesthouses. Cape Town itself is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and perfect for those who enjoy urban chic, cultural activities and good food. Add a few days on safari in the Eastern Cape and you've got a South Africa honeymoon that ticks a lot of boxes.
Our South Africa honeymoon specialists can help tailor-make an itinerary that brings together Cape Town with Big-Five game viewing in the Kruger area and even add on a stay at the beach, on an Indian Ocean island. Choose between bigger hotels with all the facilities in Mauritius and the Seychelles, or more eco-conscious, smaller beach lodges in Mozambique. If you both enjoy exploring at your own pace, a self-drive honeymoon in South Africa's KwaZulu Natal combines breath-taking mountain views and the historic Battlefields with game reserves and vast, untouched beaches and coral reefs.
The Northern Game Reserves and those in South Africa's Kalahari are a more unusual choice for a South Africa honeymoon, but you won’t be disappointed if you are both looking for luxury, top notch service and unusual game viewing. Who can resists the cute meerkats at Tswalu or fail to be impressed by the huge elephant herds in Madikwe. You are within easy reach of Johannesburg here, where you can connect to flights throughout Africa for a twin destination honeymoon.
