Honeymoon Safaris: Starting Together in the African Bush

How you decide to start your marriage can play an essential role in the matrimonial years to come. A honeymoon, far away from the stresses of everyday life, is an unforgettable opportunity to bond as a couple and create special memories to look back on for years to come.

When choosing your honeymoon destination, there are plenty of exciting options. From the white-sand beaches of Tanzania to the iconic mountainous landscapes of South Africa, Africa is your oyster. Many couples gravitate towards honeymoon safaris because most offer remote locations and the opportunity to connect with nature.

In this blog post, we’ll highlight the unique experiences and romantic opportunities offered by African safari honeymoons.

Strengthen Your Bond with Shared Experiences

Shared experiences in nature can strengthen a couple’s bond by fostering connection and making lasting memories. Some of the activities you can look forward to include:

Game Drives

Game drives are one of the most popular activities for couples on honeymoon safaris. We only use seasoned guides who are extremely passionate storytellers and will share fascinating insider tales about the ecosystem, the behaviours of Africa’s most magnificent animals, and the cultural significance of the land.

Nature Walks

Africa’s vast and unspoilt landscapes offer a unique opportunity to escape the daily grind and find a sense of peace and rejuvenation.

Guided walks in some of the most esteemed reserves are a safe and enriching way to experience the raw beauty of this incredible continent as you explore diverse ecosystems, learn about the local flora and fauna, and connect with nature’s way of healing.

Kayaking

Spend some time relaxing on the water as you explore Africa’s serene waterways. A guided kayak tour offers a different perspective to view wildlife. In places like Botswana, a traditional Mokoro canoe ride is a highlight (a Mokoro is a dug-out traditional canoe). The possibilities are endless, and we can create an itinerary to suit every preference.

‘Extreme’ Activities

If you’re an adrenaline junkie, you may want to consider booking one or two extreme activities like skydiving, bungee jumping, or shark-cage diving. How epic would it be to tell friends and family after your honeymoon about an experience like this?

The Romantic Atmosphere Offered by African Safaris

Thanks to remote locations far away from the hustle and bustle, African safaris offer an unmatched romantic atmosphere. You’ll enjoy incredible sunsets, candlelit dinners, and much-appreciated peace and quiet. Take the time to stargaze, have intimate conversations, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings on offer. ‘Hakuna Matata’, there are no troubles when you’re under the African sky!
