Tips on planning your perfect honeymoon
Before we talk about some of our favorite boutique lodges for honeymooners, honeymoon safari resorts and best all-inclusive resorts for honeymooners, let us go through some tips for planning your perfect honeymoon:
- Take your time to recover from the months of planning, leading up to the wedding. It is ok to rest a few days after the wedding or a little longer before you jump on that plane. The last thing you need is you or your partner to get sick during your honeymoon.
- Consider the seasons and weather patterns in different areas of Africa, as you would surely choose warm temperatures and sunshine over rain and storms during your honeymoon getaway.
- Find out what relaxation means to not only you, but also your spouse and plan your activities accordingly. The best all-inclusive resorts for honeymooners offer a vast variety of activities to keep you and your other half entertained to create a nice balance of relaxation and adventure. We will talk more about this later.
Combining beach and adventure
When visiting Africa a safari tour is a must, as the continent is home to some of the most incredible wildlife in the world. Luxurious lodges and private camps with unparalleled privacy and comfort, allowing you to immerse yourself in the captivating wilderness of Africa and making them the best all-in resorts for newlyweds.
Exploring the savannah for your favourite animal can be thrilling, but also tiring, so what better way than to compliment your wildlife adventure with some much-needed R & R (Rest & Relaxation) on the beach. You will be spoiled for choice; white beaches with wavy palms in Mozambique, vast and desolate beaches in Namibia and the most southern beaches of the continent, near vibrant Cape Town, South Africa.
Travelling to the different destinations could not be easier with many direct flights, for example from Kruger National Park to the Victoria Falls, Cape Town, or Mozambique.
