South Africa & Mozambique Honeymoon

DAY 1 Arrive in Cape Town

After a night flight from the UK, arrive into Cape Town weary but full of excitement for the next two weeks. A private transfer driver will be waiting to collect you from the airport and whisk you into the city centre - it's only a short drive so you'll be flopping onto your hotel bed within the hour. To ease yourself into the day we suggest you start at the beach - Clifton's Second Beach is a particularly lovely spot for couples to admire the dramatic views of Table Mountain and feel the soft white sand between your toes. With a little Vitamin D absorbed it's then time to start thinking about the most important of all holiday criteria - food.

For your first night, head to Salt while it's still early and make the most of this perfect restaurant location, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean from the Ambassador Hotel on Bantry Bay. The food is great and the wine list is greater - with 70 to choose from - so you'll leave happily full, a little bit merry and ready for a good night's sleep.

DAY 2 Cape Town to Sabi Sands

Today you'll be saying goodbye to Cape Town and heading east to Sabi Sands Game Reserve. The flight from Cape Town Airport to Nelspruit Airport is around two and a half hours. When you land in Nelspruit a private driver will be waiting to collect you and chauffeur you the last two and a half hours to your lodge by car. We work with a number of superb luxury lodges in Sabi Sands, but for this itinerary we're focusing on Lion Sands Ivory Lodge. This sophisticated lodge is as natural as it is luxurious, combing local materials and African art with contemporary design and plush furniture. Made up of just nine villas, Lions Sands Ivory Lodge is also incredibly private; each villa has its own terrace with floor to ceiling glass windows and a plunge pool overlooking the reserve - perfect for honeymooners.

DAY 3 International Flight

There's only one problem with a stay at Azura Benguerra - it's almost impossible to leave. Sadly the long sun drenched days in paradise have found their end and you've got to head back home. Thankfully a helicopter transfer isn't the worst way to be transferred to your flight so you should have a smile back on your face by the time you land in Vilanculous. Take a two hour flight to Johannesburg and then pick up your connection straight back to the UK.
