Top African Honeymoon Spots
There are a number of intimate and romantic honeymoon destinations on the exotic African continent, including the balmy islands off Mozambique, teeming wildlife reserves in Kenya, Tanzania and Botswana, as well as the jewel in the African crown, the beautiful city of Cape Town in South Africa.
Premier wildlife destinations
If the seduction of a traditional African safari honeymoon has hit the mark, there are a range of excellent destinations throughout southern and East Africa. Premier wildlife destinations include Tanzania, Kenya and Botswana, all of which have a number of private and national game parks literally swarming with exotic wild animals.
It is unlikely that newlyweds will opt for scheduled tours, but all reputable African tour operators are equipped to offer specially tailored packages for those couples requiring a little more privacy. So it’s a case of simply choosing your destination and then letting the experts handle the finer details on your behalf.
a??Big 5′ the main attraction
The ‘Big 5’ are the main attractions of the world famous Masai Mara and Serengeti Game Reserves as well as the Ngorongoro Crater, tipped as one of Africa’s foremost wildlife viewing areas and a haven for literally thousands of pink flamingos. Both Tanzania and Kenya are regarded as safe safari locations and offer accommodation in luxury romona keveza

a??The land of Giants’
While considerably more arid than its northern neighbours, Botswana is a wonderful location to experience the consummate African safari. Dubbed the a??land of giants’ because the last vast remaining herds of African elephant still traverse the land with impunity and the gigantic upside-down tree, better known as the Baobab, literally dwarfs all other pretenders to the throne, Botswana has a range of interesting activities to take part in aside from the normal safari experience.
a??The smoke that thunders’
Discover the unrivalled beauty of the Okavango Swamps in a hand-hewn mokoro, the traditional dug-out canoe of the local communities, or make for the fabulous Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, in neighbouring Zambia and watch in awe as the a??smoke that thunders’ barrels into a 108m deep chasm.
Romantic islands
For pure romance, the Mozambiquan Islands of Bazaruto and Inhaca leave all the other African destinations in their tracks. Apart from long, white beaches and the languid Indian Ocean, there are a number of exciting adventures to enjoy during the day, including deep sea game fishing, horse riding, scuba diving and ocean cruises.
The ultimate cosmopolitan experience
For a more cosmopolitan experience, Cape Town is the place to go. Situated at the foot of Africa, the city is dwarfed by Table Mountain, possibly one of the most recognisable natural landmarks known to man.
Although there is a distinctly African feel to the Mother city, she boats a fine melange of cultures, including Asian and European influences. Apart from her natural beauty, bountiful indigenous flora and plentiful cuisine options, Cape Town also has an extraordinary array of accommodation, from affordable to ultra luxurious. So regardless of the budget, the Mother City awaits you with open arms and countless choices.
