Anywhere described as the 'world in one country' has to be a strong honeymoon contender, and 'Africa's Eden' is home to enough remarkably beautiful places and memorable experiences to make any South Africa honeymoons magical. Come face to face with the Big Five and other extraordinary animals on a safari where you can enjoy sundowner cocktails overlooking the scorched savannah. Spend romantic time together in Cape Town and the Winelands. Self drive the Garden Route staying in a selection of charming lodges along the way. All this and much more is possible on one of our tailor-made South Africa honeymoons.

"We were kept in the loop at every stage of our journey and felt supported throughout. Seeing a baby kudu that had just been born was an extraordinary moment, and a real highlight of our time at Kwandwe!"

"The choice of lodges to stay in were brilliant. The settings were amazing as was the food! We were very well looked after. The guides were great too. So knowledgeable. We saw so much. It was good to have the Concierge always available in the background, though everything was so well organised beforehand we didn't really need to use them."

"Our honeymoon was absolutely incredible. The booking process was excellent, our consultant showed a great deal of expertise, listened to what we wanted and reassured us. The wraparound services you provide are superb, the whole honeymoon was easy and relaxed. The Original Travel app is extremely clear, as was the itinerary, and it was really useful and exciting to be able to refer back to this. The Concierges were AMAZING. They were so kind, kept in regular communication and were really helpful with recommendations."

What can you expect on South Africa honeymoons that you won't find anywhere else?


We have travelled the length and breadth of South Africa, staying at the most romantic lodges and trying out the best activities (and wines), and the key to putting together a South African honeymoon itinerary is choosing what to leave out.

Depending on your exact requirements, our recommendations include the Kruger Park and adjoining private game reserves such as Sabi Sands, which are easily combined with those in KwaZulu-Natal. The safari destinations near Johannesburg (Kruger, Sabi Sands, Madikwe and the Waterberg) are also best in European summer, when the majority of couples get married.

Cape Province, stretching the length of the southern coast, has a marvellous Mediterranean climate at its most agreeable between December and April. Its capital, Cape Town, is the ideal place from which to begin an exploration of the south starting with its own attractions of Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch Gardens and Robben Island, then along the Wine Route and further still into the Great Karoo or east via the Garden Route.
