Namibia Honeymoons

Traditionally, honeymooners have shied away from Namibia thanks to the extra rigours of self-driving, and the absence of a pure white sand beach, so often sought after on the typical ‘Bush and Beach’ African Honeymoon.

However in recent years the desire for more immersive and active honeymoon experiences has opened up the majesty of Namibia to newlyweds, and about time too. Far from being restrictive and dull, the drives through the beautiful landscapes that characterise the country are very much part of the adventure, whilst the fact there are so few roads almost completely negates the chance of any map reading ‘disputes’! Climb dunes at Sossusvlei, check out the shipwrecks on the Skeleton Coast, and enjoy a world-class safari in Etosha. Of for something really special, go on a romantic flying safari to some of the remotest wilderness areas in the country.

The lodges across the country have really developed over the last few years, offering wonderfully comfortable rooms, amazing views and outstanding cuisine, all of which are often high priorities on honeymoon wish-lists. The sheer remoteness of many of the lodges means some amazing ‘extra’ experiences can be added onto tailor made Namibia honeymoons, including bush baths, sleepouts under the stars and private breakfasts watching the sunrise over the desert.

For those looking to take a break from navigating we can arrange private planes to transfer honeymooners from place to place, offering the ultimate in exclusivity as a start to married life. Anyone wanting a beach break in Namibia may find the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean a touch chilly, but the azure blue waters of the Mozambique channel or Mauritius are easily accessed with a flight via Johannesburg and provide wonderful contrasts to the beautiful Namibian desert. Newlyweds with a real sense of adventure and the desire to really involve themselves in their honeymoon, rather than sitting back and letting someone else do the work, will love this wonderful country – the sunsets alone make it worth the journey!
