The ultimate honeymoon for your first taste of an African safari, blending adventure with beachside bliss and ticking off epic 'Big 5' safari experiences alongside Zanzibar’s showstopping shores.
Why we love it
“Perfect for first-timers to Africa looking for that golden-age safari honeymoon and some R&R on the beach, this trip ticks all boxes and more than a few bucket-list moments. You’ll explore the cosmopolitan city of Cape Town before heading on a private tour of the neighbouring Winelands region for a taste of South Africa's finest wines. Next, you’ll head to the Kruger National Park for those all-important safari adventures, after which you’ll spend nights under the stars in one of our romantic lodges, before ending your trip by diving into the dazzling waters off the Zanzibar coast. This trip is perfect between the months of January to April, but we can switch out Zanzibar for Mozambique for honeymoons outside of these months - for guaranteed coastal sunshine.”

A shoulder season in both Southern and East Africa so great rates but a chance of rain throughout!

It's the rainy season in Zanzibar, beautiful in Southern Africa

01 Jul - 04 Jul
Cape Town
With so much to see and do in Cape Town, the only debate is how many nights to spend there (we recommend at least 3). Stunning geography, wonderful hotels, great local produce, and an exceptional local food scene make this one of the world's most visited cities. International and domestic flights connect the city very well.

Scintillating views meet incredibly fresh produce and create a match made in heaven. Only an hour and half from Cape Town by road, this combination is a classic. We recommend at least half a day with one of our guides to get you to the more off-the-beaten-track wineries and restaurants.

In our opinion, the perfect first-time safari destination with an exceptional chance of seeing the 'big 5' during your stay. Safari veterans also return year after year and the region is home to some of the top lodges on the planet. Access is best by domestic flight from either Johannesburg or Cape Town and we recommend 3 nights.

Zanzibar
White sandy beaches, energetic Stone Town and a rich history - this island has it all. The ideal stay would be around 5 nights and take in a bit of everything from rooftop lunches in the old town to private dhow cruises at sunset. The airport connect well with Tanzania's safari circuit and Nairobi, as well as the Middle East.
