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. Some of our favourite places to stay are boutique boltholes like Camissa House or the chic POD in Camps Bay. 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 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.
Tamara, our South Africa specialist, says: "I’ve travelled across South Africa countless times from the highlight spots to places many would have never heard of, and I still get goosebumps watching a leopard emerge from the bush in Sabi Sands or seeing watching the sunset on Camps Bay beach. Every couple I’ve helped plan a honeymoon here has come back glowing. It offers the perfect contrast of wow moments and opportunities to sit back and relax."
