A quintessential Honeymoon experience combining the idyllic Seychelles with the game rich Sabi Sand

When planning a Honeymoon there are certain “must-dos” that leap of the page at the newlyweds-to-be, with certain experiences and places to enjoy these experiences standing out above all others as things to do and places to stay. Few, if any, fit this bill better then the Seychelles and Kruger area, an iconic combination that really does blend the best of what Africa has to offers.

Your trip will start with a flight to the beautiful Indian Ocean island of The Seychelles, where you will spend a week relaxing on Mahe, the main island in the archipelago and a wonderfully relaxing place to start your Honeymoon. This is a week of pure relaxation, amazing food and stunning views, as well as each other’s company, what could be better! From there fly down to Johannesburg, arriving in time to connect on to a flight to the Kruger area, where you will be met and transferred to your lodge. The view is different, with endless expanses of game-rich bushveld replacing the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, but the theme is the same, with amazing views, brilliant food and the best possible service complementing the experience you had at the beach. At the end of your safari fly back to Johannesburg for your overnight flight to London.


Trip Itinerary

Day 1 To the beach

Day 2 Paradise calls

Land in to Mahe this morning where you will be met by our local partners and assisted with your immigration formalities before being transferred to the incredible Four Seasons Seychelles, one the leading resorts on the islands and a simply superb place to spend your time. Check-in and relax in the comfort of your room which provides stunning panoramic views of the surrounding hillside and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean way below. Kick back, relax and revel in this incredible start to married life!

Days 3 - 8 Beach life

Four Seasons Seychelles

One of the great beauties of spending your time in the Seychelles is that despite it being a wonderful place to relax and enjoy doing very little, there is also plenty to keep you occupied if you want to get out and about. Swimming in the ocean, paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkelling and scuba diving are all options here and, if you are looking to explore a little further afield then we can also arrange boat charters to surrounding islands with a delicious picnic lunch taken along, or you can catch one of the many ferries that operate between the islands of your own accord. Mahe is a charming little island, so why not hire a car for a day or two and get out to explore the little fishing villages, restaurants and beach bars that dot the coastline.

Day 9 To South Africa and the Kruger

Days 10 - 11 On safari in the Sabi Sand

Leopard In Kruger

Despite the early mornings and long, often hot days, there is something incredibly alluring about a safari that keeps people coming back for more. A pre-dawn wake up call, accompanied with coffee and biscuits of course, is the prelude to your morning safari, a magical time to be in the bush with the sun lending a golden hue to proceedings, predators returning from the hunt and prey noticeably relaxing as they know their foes will be sleeping for a few hours at least. Return to the lodge for lunch and then spend the afternoon relaxing in for comfort of your suite, taking in the views out across the bush, the odd ad-hoc animal sighting and cool off in your private plunge pool. Afternoon tea will be followed by an afternoon game drive which leads in to the evening, another wonderful time to explore as the big cats become active once more, whilst larger animals such as elephant and rhino take in the last of the afternoon sunshine.

January

January is the perfect time to visit the Cape — hot, dry and buzzing. Lounge on beaches or explore the Winelands and Garden Route in peak summer sun. Inland, it’s the wet season in Kruger, with bursts of heavy rain and vivid green landscapes. It's also the end of the birthing season, attracting predators and creating dramatic wildlife scenes.

February

The hottest month in Cape Town, February is ideal for alfresco lunches in the Winelands or scenic drives along the Garden Route. There are fewer tourists, perfect weather and excellent vineyard experiences. Safari regions remain hot, humid and wet, so it’s better to stick to the coast and cultural highlights at this time of year.

March

March brings settled, sunny days to Cape Town, the Winelands and Garden Route — ideal for laid-back trips and less crowded experiences. In Kruger, the lush landscape and newborn wildlife create brilliant photographic opportunities, with clear skies and dramatic colours. Rainfall eases across the country, making it a great time to combine regions.

April

April’s mild weather and lower visitor numbers make it one of the best months to explore. Cape Town is perfect for hiking Table Mountain or visiting Kirstenbosch Gardens. The Garden Route and Drakensberg are quiet and cool. In Kruger, rutting season begins — male antelope at their most impressive, sparking fierce, fascinating fights.

May

With summer crowds gone and crisp, dry days setting in, May is a peaceful time to travel. Safari viewing improves as vegetation thins in Kruger, and game becomes easier to spot. The Cape has a mix of sunny and rainy days, and the Winelands feel calm and welcoming after the peak season rush.

June

The start of winter brings cool, dry safari conditions — ideal for spotting wildlife clustered around shrinking water sources. Cape Town gets wetter, though days can still be bright. Whale watching begins along the Western Cape, while the Drakensberg is a dream for hikers enjoying fresh air and peaceful trails. Comrades Marathon adds sporting buzz to KwaZulu Natal.

July

July is peak whale watching around Hermanus and Plettenberg Bay, with whales close to shore to calve. It’s also the best time for safaris — cool, dry and clear. Kruger’s wildlife gathers at waterholes, and sightings are exceptional. Cape Town remains cool and drizzly, but it’s a quiet, rewarding time for active or cultural trips.

August

Spring starts to show as wildflowers carpet the West Coast and Namaqualand in vibrant colour — a true spectacle. Game viewing is still strong in Kruger, and whales continue to visit the Cape’s coastline. Temperatures begin rising after winter’s chill, and clear skies return, making this a great time to combine coast, culture and safari.

September

September is superb for combining experiences — wildlife viewing is excellent in Kruger and Madikwe, while whales are frequently seen along the southern coast. Spring flowers are still blooming, and warmer temperatures make outdoor exploration more inviting. In the Drakensberg, snow-capped peaks linger as trails begin to warm up for hiking.

October

October is one of the best all-round months to visit. Cape Town and the Winelands are warming up, with long sunny days and few crowds. Safari conditions remain strong in Kruger and KwaZulu Natal, and the beaches are heating up. Whether you want wildlife, wine or coastline, it’s hard to go wrong this month.

November

Cape Town soaks up the early summer sun, with calm days ideal for exploring. It’s the last chance to see southern right whales before they head off. Inland, the rains return to Kruger and KwaZulu Natal, but afternoon storms are spectacular and short-lived. Visitor numbers increase as the festive season nears — book early.

December

December buzzes with summer energy. The first two weeks are a sweet spot — great weather and fewer crowds. Later in the month, it’s peak holiday season across the country. In Kruger, landscapes burst into colour with flame lilies and baby animals. Book early for Christmas trips — this is one of the most popular times to visit.
