When choosing a place for a wedding trip, you are looking for something special, very romantic, and secluded. As a rule, honeymooners are looking for a place where they can enjoy nature, silence, and each other’s company. A honeymoon in Africa will give you all the emotions you expect from a romantic trip.

Why a Honeymoon in Africa

The vast continent offers many options to fulfill your wildest dreams. It doesn’t matter if you’re a lover of relaxing luxury vacations or if you can’t stay in one place for long and want to visit something new every day. Or if you would like to combine both, a trip to Africa is a great solution. Here you will be able to:

• Retreat to a small lodge, relax to the sounds of wildlife, and soak in the SPA.
• Explore the savannah in search of African predators.
• Go hiking in the mountains.
• Go flying in a helicopter or a hot air balloon.
• Find yourself in the company of authentic African tribes.
• Get a rush of adrenaline while rafting, bungee jumping, and so on.
• Go to the white shores of the Indian Ocean.
• Immerse yourself in the vibrant life of African cities.

You probably wish that every day of your life was full of bright emotions and was not like the previous one. Let it happen from the very first days of your family life. And we will give you some ideas on how to celebrate the beginning of your family’s life unforgettably.

Honeymoon in Rwanda

Rwanda has all the necessary components for a bright honeymoon: amazingly beautiful nature, a high level of service, rest in a quiet and secluded place, and an active pastime.

For example, you can stay at Singita Kwitonda Lodge. The lodge is located right next door to the mountain gorillas, on the edge of Volcanoes National Park. Imagine taking in the views of the surrounding nature and volcano through the large panoramic windows of your room. Or you can contemplate all this beauty while swimming in the heated mini-pool that’s in every room. 

A honeymoon is a unique journey. And this country has prepared for you a unique attraction. Here you can go on a romantic hike through unimproved mountain forests to see an animal you won’t find anywhere else in the world—the mountain gorilla.

Honeymoon in Tanzania

Tanzania is probably one of the best honeymoon destinations in Africa. At the same time, it is a remarkable country for lovers of active adventures. Here you can stay in the most secluded lodge, which seems to be at the very edge of the earth. For example, this can be Highlands Asilia. This unique Maasai Boma-style lodge is in the forest next to the Olmoti Volcano. The lodge is remote yet accessible to traditional African activities. 

Here you can enjoy the silence and delightful views of the Ngorongoro crater. You can see the beauty of the unique crater right from your room window. And in the evening, you should definitely go to a Maasai campfire, drink wine and watch the incredible African sunset. 

You can also head to the Serengeti for a spectacular African safari experience. Add a touch of romance to your trip and watch the sunrise as you fly in a hot air balloon over the savannah. 

After your Mainland adventure, you can head to Zanzibar for a gentle ocean, the winding streets of Stone Town, rowdy beach parties, or a quiet, relaxing vacation just for the two of you.  

Honeymoon in Kenya

That is also an East African country of comfort, beauty, and breathtaking adventure. Your African honeymoon can begin in the bustling metropolis of Nairobi. Stop here to explore the city and its surroundings. So, what emotions would you like to experience here? If it’s a fun and a thrill, go to Giraffe Manor or Sheldrick’s Elephant Orphanage. Experience a first-class safari in the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Here you can also fly in a hot air balloon and see numerous African raptors flying over them. 

Do you want to see the best views of Kilimanjaro? Then you should definitely go to Amboseli. If you like to relax in a cozy lakeside house, go to lake Naivasha. 

If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful place with a high level of service with a big offer of different activities, we can offer Solio Lodge. This luxurious lodge is in the Solio Private Game Reserve, which is home to many rhinos. In addition to the classic safari in reserve, you can ride horses, go to the foot of Mount Kenya, fly in a helicopter, visit coffee plantations, etc.

For the second part of your honeymoon, be sure to book a visit to Mombasa. The Indian Ocean is no less beautiful here than in many other famous resorts. You won’t regret spending a few days on the snow-white coast of Diani.

Honeymoon in Namibia

That is a wonderful option if you want silence and the feeling that everything in this country is created just for you. Very few people live in a large area of the country, so you can drive dozens of kilometers and not meet anyone.

Here you will have the most romantic adventures in the desert at sunrise and sunset. Namibia has many unique locations that you won’t find anywhere else in the world. For example, the meeting place of the ancient desert and the Atlantic Ocean, the Skeleton Coast Shipwreck Park, the Devlei Valley with its surrealistic landscapes, and much more. 

It may seem that Namibia is a very poor country, and has nothing to offer tourists in terms of service. Namibia’s lodges can surprise even the most sophisticated tourist. There is a wide range of accommodations with a high level of service, haute cuisine, and a view of the surroundings of incredible beauty. For example, this can be Sossusvlei Desert Lodge &Beyond. In this tiny lodge, the scenery of the ancient desert does not leave your eyes for a moment. During the day, you can catch all the shades of red, yellow, orange, and many other colors that Namibia’s sands play in the sunlight. And in the evening, you’ll be mesmerized by the beauty of the night sky, which you can view through a telescope or the rooftop window just above your bed. 

Honeymoon in Zimbabwe

What would your honeymoon in South Africa look like? We can offer you a stay for a few days at one of the most beautiful sights in Africa—Victoria Falls. 

There are so many activities in one location that it can feel like you’ve lived a lifetime in one day. For example, in the morning, you can hike to Victoria Falls, take a stroll, and have your picture taken against a backdrop of breathtaking views. A little later, you can jump off one of the highest bungees jumps in Africa or ride the zipline over the falls.

And in the evening, you will meet the sunset by sailing on the quiet Zambezi River. You will listen to light African music, drink cool wine and watch the surrounding scenery. You will fall asleep in an extremely beautiful lodge with the sounds of wildlife. We think you might like Matetsi Victoria Falls.

You should also see the waterfall during the “Flight of angels”, and risk a swim in the natural pool right on the edge of the waterfall. To add even more variety to your vacation, go on a one-day safari in Botswana’s Chobe National Park.
