Our specialist says:

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.

Tamara, our South Africa expert, says:
“For me, this itinerary is the ultimate honeymoon blend. A few days on safari in Kruger brings you close to incredible wildlife and those magical African sunsets, before you fly to the Seychelles for a week of pure island relaxation. It’s adventure and romance in perfect balance an unforgettable way to begin married life.”

Your trip will start with a flight from Johannesburg to the Kruger area where you will be met and transferred to your lodge. The view is incredible, with endless expanses of game-rich bushveld. You will spend early morning looking for leopards and afternoons basking in the sun whilst elephants move in silence just feet away. From here you will take the short flight back to Johannesburg to catch your connecting 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 end 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!

Trip Itinerary

Day 1 To the bush

Day 2 - 5 Paradise calls

Staying at Leopard Hills

Land in to Johannesburg this morning where you will be met by our local partners and assisted with your immigration formalities before connecting on to a flight to Kruger Mpumalanga airport, where a driver will be waiting to transfer you up to the stunning Leopard Hills in the Sabi Sand Wildtuin, one of the most iconic lodges in South Africa’s best wildlife area. Enjoy some time to relax this afternoon before dinner and drinks around the campfire, after which you will retire to bed in eager anticipation of the safari adventure that awaits you tomorrow.

Day 4 Life on Safari

Wildlife

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.

Day 5 From the bush to the beach

After your last early morning game drive and breakfast, you will be transferred back to the airstrip for your flight back to Johannesburg. You will make your way through the airport for your next flight to the Seychelles. 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 5 - 12 Beach Life

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.

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. The 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.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. We're particularly grateful that she suggested a private 'bush lunch' in the Ngorongoro Crater as the public picnic spot was very busy! I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, Okonjima Plains camp, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. Although not inexpensive I felt it was good value for the level of luxury we had. Kwessi Dunes, Shipwreck lodge, Ongava, Okonjima with pit stops Windhoek (city tour recommended ), Swakopmund (Sandwich Harbour and Walvis Bay tour) and Grootberg lodge (best sundowner drive )

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at Omali lodge at Sao Tome, then on Roca Sundy, and Sunday Praia at Principe - a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. Omali is close to Sao Tome town with its colonial buildings, markets, hustle and bustle. Roca Sunday gives an old plantation experience and Sundy Praia a luxury beach experience. Very friendly (from time to time a bit slow) service, great fresh food, specifically if you like fish/seafood, vegetables and fruits (almost all sourced locally). Nice temperature between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, nice swimming conditions. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel (and I believe are) very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps, Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and Muchenenje Safari Lodge in Botswana, was spot on and exactly what we had hoped for - ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was, as usual for that part of the world, also good at the time of our visit. Blue skies and stunning sunsets. Warm but not too hot during the day, although quite cold at sunrise when viewing game. The viewing started. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!

We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
