From safari to beach, and everything in between
South Africa is made for romance - nowhere else blends unforgettable safaris, world-class food and wine, golden beaches, and luxurious stays quite so perfectly.
Cape Town is the perfect place to begin. Wake to Table Mountain glowing in the morning light, stroll hand in hand through Kirstenbosch Gardens, and explore the vibrant V&A Waterfront. The food scene is exceptional — think seasonal tasting menus with expertly matched wines at Salsify or oysters and MCC at Harbour House right by the ocean.
Just beyond the city, the Cape Winelands beckon — picturesque rolling vineyards and oak-lined avenues. Unpack a picnic basket beneath the oaks at Boschendal, filled with farm-grown produce and chilled Chenin Blanc, then wander back to your private cottage overlooking the pool.
For safari, Sabi Sands is unrivalled for both intimacy and wildlife. This private reserve bordering Kruger is famed for its leopard sightings and luxurious, romantic lodges. Think plunge pools, candlelit decks, and baths under the stars (or even sleep-outs beneath them). Tinga and River Lodge are firm favourites — secluded, stylish, and beautifully immersed in the wild.
When it’s time to unwind, nothing beats the Mozambique coast. Powder-white sands, turquoise shallows, and beach lodges only reachable by helicopter. Azura Benguerra is barefoot luxury at its best — where the sea stretches endlessly and dinners are served by candlelight on the sand.
Our close relationships with these lodges mean we can add the thoughtful touches that make your honeymoon unforgettable — from champagne on arrival to private bush breakfasts and couples’ spa treatments.

South Africa Trip Inspiration

Our South Africa specialist, Tamara, says
"South Africa is honestly one of my favourite honeymoon destinations to recommend as it’s got a bit of everything. You can wake up in a luxury safari lodge with elephants wandering past your deck, then a few days later be sipping wine in Stellenbosch or watching the sun set over the ocean in Cape Town. It feels adventurous and romantic all at once, and there’s so much flexibility to make it your own. Every couple I’ve sent has come back absolutely raving."
