A rather different sort of honeymoon

Intriguing culture, mesmerising landscapes and unique wildlife...it's all waiting for you on a tailor made Ethiopia honeymoon

If you’re looking for a rather unique honeymoon in Africa, and enjoy history, hiking and adventure, then you can’t go wrong with Ethiopia. The landscapes are incredible, the heritage fascinating, and rapidly improving hotel options are making Ethiopia an increasingly viable place to spend that special trip.

Many trips to Ethiopia follow the classical Northern Historical Circuit journey, but we can also add a side-trip to the spectacular Gheralta region, with its cave churches and stunning, other-worldly scenery that unfolds around every corner. The lakes to the south of Addis Ababa are home to some lovely resorts for a few days relaxing, whilst the spectacular Bale Mountains offer a truly unique wildlife experience, which is often a popular part of honeymoons to other parts of Africa.

Another advantage of heading to Ethiopia for at least part of your honeymoon is that it’s incredibly well connected to the rest of Africa via Ethiopian Airlines. Beach destinations such as Zanzibar, Seychelles and even far-flung Madagascar are all easy to reach, as is Victoria Falls which is paradise for honeymooners with beautiful lodges and a huge range of activities. Equally, the daily flights to Cape Town and Johannesburg ensure that you can also combine an iconic South Africa experience with your time in Ethiopia. The possibilities really are endless.
