Honeymoons in Africa

Start your life together with a magical adventure through Africa. Iconic wildlife, epic landscapes, ancient wonders, and a variety of cultures have intrigued adventurers for centuries! From some of the best beach destinations to the world’s greatest wildlife reserves, Africa has a little of something for everyone.

Have a phenomenal game-viewing experience in the pure wilderness of Africa one day and then hop on a short flight to the breathtaking Indian Ocean the next, where you can recuperate in a sunlounger. The mix of adventure and relaxation that Africa offers cannot be beat.

The hardest decision with a honeymoon to Africa is where to go. Some may prefer a rustic, authentic wilderness experience with bucket showers, becoming one with the wild. Others may want to enjoy the luxuries of life with fine dining and out-of-this-world spa treatments. And then there are others who just want an adrenaline-pumping adventure. Africa has it all and more.

This vast and beautiful continent is the perfect place for newlyweds looking for the ultimate romantic getaway. You will be swept away by the sheer romance an African honeymoon has to offer.
