SAFARI HONEYMOON
Do what every visitor to South Africa loves to do and go on safari. South Africa has many private safari lodges that are plush and romantic, with plenty of opportunities for seclusion and starlit dinners for two, which they make great honeymoon options.
Book a stunning glass-fronted suite at Leopard Hills Private Game Reserve in the Sabi Sand where wildlife is plentiful. A large chic suite will give you ample privacy, with its own private viewing deck looking out over a vast wilderness. On all sides the views go on and on – it’s idyllic. Your own splash pool on the deck is a private cool-down spot between game activities led by a ranger. Celebrating sunsets in the wilderness, romantic dinners, breakfasts at surprise feasting spots in the bush, and pampering spa treatments all add up to a wonderfully romantic safari.
Chitwa Chitwa is another excellent choice for a safari honeymoon. Also located in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Chitwa Chitwa is situated beside a large lake, with a stunning pool deck that offers exquisite water views.
