Romance & Honeymoons

Africa is one of the world's great honeymoon destinations, and it's easy to see why. Few experiences are as romantic as sharing a sundowner on the savanna, falling asleep to the sounds of the bush in a tented suite, or watching the sun sink into the Indian Ocean from a quiet beach.

The classic: bush and beach

The classic African honeymoon combines a safari with an island. A few nights in the Serengeti or the Maasai Mara followed by Zanzibar, or South Africa's Kruger region followed by Mauritius or Seychelles, balances adventure with relaxation. Botswana's Okavango Delta adds intimate camps and mokoro trips for two.

Beyond the classic

Romance takes many forms. Morocco pairs the riads of Marrakech with a desert camp near Merzouga, where the stars feel close enough to touch. Cape Town and the Cape Winelands are perfect for couples who love food and wine, and a Nile dahabiya offers slow, private days on the river, with a felucca sail at sunset or a dawn balloon flight over Luxor's temples for a touch of magic. For adventurous couples, gorilla trekking in Rwanda or a balloon flight over the Serengeti gives you a story you'll be telling for years.

Thoughtful touches

We'll suggest the right rooms, whether that means a private plunge pool, an outdoor shower or a star bed under the open sky, and arrange private dinners, spa treatments and small surprises. We let each property know you're celebrating, and we plan the pace carefully: after a wedding, the last thing you need is a string of early flights.

How we plan romantic journeys

Whether it's a honeymoon, an anniversary or a proposal trip, we design the journey around you as a couple: your pace, your interests and your budget. Our Mauritius Island Romance and Serengeti + Zanzibar journeys are wonderful starting points, and every detail can be tailored.
