Botswana Honeymoons

Yes – Botswana is one of Africa’s most romantic safari destinations. With intimate camps, incredible wildlife, and remote locations that feel totally private, it’s ideal for couples looking for a meaningful, once-in-a-lifetime experience….one real standout honeymoon experience is one of the ‘sleep out’ camp…sleeping under the Milky Way is a true once-in-a-lifetime experience.

A honeymoon in Botswana is a high-end experience, with most trips ranging from £8,000 to £15,000 per couple for 7–10 days (excluding international flights). Costs reflect the exclusivity of small camps, remote locations, and high-quality guiding. The reward is unrivalled privacy, service, and some of Africa’s most spectacular safari experiences.

The dry season (June to October) is the best time for game viewing and comfortable weather. October is particularly good for wildlife, while June and July offer cooler evenings and clear skies.

It depends on your style. Botswana is more exclusive, with intimate camps in pristine wilderness. Tanzania offers variety, with the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar providing safari-and-beach combinations. If seclusion and luxury are priorities, Botswana stands out. If you want diversity and cultural experiences alongside safari, Tanzania may suit you better.

We recommend at least 7–10 days to include two or three safari locations. Many couples also choose to add a beach destination, like Mauritius, Mozambique or the Seychelles, at the end of the trip.
