For couples wanting the ultimate romantic African vacation, combined with exceptional wildlife viewing and the possible addition of some great activities such as fishing or hiking, then Botswana is the perfect honeymoon destination, with its combination of water and land attractions.
Botswana is about as romantic and remote as it can get, with the waterways of the Okavango covered in water lilies, while the camps offer superb comfort and facilities in a true wilderness.
The ideal time to spend on honeymoon in Botswana is 7 or 8 nights, split between two camps in different regions. The best combinations are the Okavango or Moremi combined with Chobe in the north, and from there end off the honeymoon with a couple nights at Victoria Falls or Cape Town.
Camps and lodges recommended for honeymooners range in price between US$300 and US$800 per person per day. This includes all meals, activities, game drives, boat cruises and walks. In the high end lodges, local drinks and beverages are also often included. Peak season is June to October.
