South Africa provides the most sophisticated honeymoon experience of any African destination. The safari regions combine perfectly with destinations such as Cape Town or the idyllic Garden Route.
It is also the African honeymoon destination which is most easily accessible from most parts of the world, with daily flights into major cities from Europe, the Americas, Middle East, Asia and Australia. South African cities are vibrant, sophisticated, cosmopolitan and booming, while the wildlife regions offer tranquility and peace in a variety of truly incredible lodges and camps.
The top honeymoon safari destinations are in and around the Kruger Park, including the exclusive private reserves of Sabi Sand, Timbavati and Makalali, where we recommend at least four nights. Most honeymooners try to include at least three nights in magnificent Cape Town.
South Africa is good all year round, altough peak safari season is between May and October. Our recommended honeymoon accommodations vary between US$ 100 and US$ 700 per person per day.
