1. A honeymoon in South Africa gives you choices

South Africa offers a diverse range of location choices, you can pretty much find everything in one country. The coastlines are as inviting as a Friday afternoon, with the warm Indian Ocean kissing the shores on the East Coast. The mountains and forests are a hiker’s paradise while the call of the wild will beckon your heart to the most luxurious safari parks in the African bushveld. Because why choose.

2. The cuisine is superb

Rich in flavour, the cuisine in South Africa will keep you licking your fingers (which is more acceptable than you’d think). Barbecue (with a unique twist) is a big part of the traditional menu in South Africa, known as ‘Braai’. Fine dining is much enjoyed here too. Restaurants have risen to the occasion, bringing you the best of traditional South African cuisine. The international favourites are also relished and prepared to perfection, because why choose. A honeymoon in South Africa will see you eating your heart out!

3. Sunshine, wine, and everything fine

Oh, the glorious wine route! What is a honeymoon in South Africa without fine wine? Picture a scenic drive with your better half. The picturesque valleys and mountains of the wine route bring you the finest vineyards. Many are family-owned and offer a delightful French touch in their style. A guided trip to South Africa will ensure this type of outing is smooth and happy, with a sober driver provided and no map-reading required.

4. Love and luxury under an African sky – Honeymoon in South Africa

The heartbeat of Africa is most tangible in the bushveld. The grasslands, kissed by the glow of a setting sun as it catches the dust in the air. The day animals slowly come to rest and the dawning of the stars beckons the calls of the night creatures, as they come to life.

As a honeymoon destination, lodges know what they’re doing. They provide couples with the most memorable experiences of romance in Africa. For a close-up experience with the big 5, a game ranger or park guide can take your breath away. Their in-depth understanding of animal behaviour works in your favour! At the end of the day, after all the adventures, you can stretch out and relax with your new spouse, on your own private deck. Sip something cold and watch the wildlife, together. Relish the privacy and the peace your luxurious accommodation provides you.

5.  The locals, the photos, and the happy vibes!

South Africa is incredibly photogenic. The hubbub in the cities, the ancient forests, the breathtaking viewpoints and, of course, the animals. South Africa is a diverse population too, with over 11 official languages. The locals are as warm as the sunny country. Capture the local spirit by enjoying traditional Zulu song and dance or a visit to the cultural villages. Immersing yourself in the local vibes will make your honeymoon in South Africa fun, lighthearted, and memorable.

Love in Africa: The sweetest kiss
