Your honeymoon should be the trip of a lifetime; a holiday that you will talk about for the rest of your life. Throughout the wilderness of Africa, you will find the most romantic lodges and camps hidden away, each offering world-class service. Here are the top ten reasons that you should choose an African safari for the most memorable holiday of your life:
Weddings on Female First
For many people, a safari is a once-in-a-lifetime trip; a bucket-list experience that may not be repeated. Romantic, intimate and personal, an African safari really can deliver an experience that will stay with you forever.
A safari can be filled with romantic surprises, for example private, candle-lit dinners - either in the comfort of your luxury safari tent, or right in the bush, surrounded by the sounds of nature and sheltered by a ceiling of millions stars.
A private safari vehicle will rarely encounter other cars or people in many safari destinations. What could be more intimate than searching for iconic wildlife with just your new Mr or Mrs and your own private safari guide?!
An increasing number of camps and lodges are offering the opportunity to sleep out under the vast African sky and star-gaze as you drop off to asleep. Far from being 'camping out' these range from tree-houses to roof-top four-posters, romantically lit by lanterns.
Luxurious rooms or Out-Of-Africa-style tents frequently have al-fresco bathrooms or plunge pools attached. You can shower in the open air, watching the wildlife swim or wander by, or take a copper roll-top bubble bath under the stars.
An important part of any safari is the Sundowner experience. Find a secluded spot with an incredible view in which to enjoy a glass of chilled champagne as you watch the sun set, or park up next to a waterhole and share your evening drink with the local thirsty wildlife.
Spa treatments are often available on safari! Enjoy a couples massage overlooking the vast African plains, or watch the comings and goings of wildlife as you have a relaxing manicure.
Most safari destinations pair extremely well with a beach break. Unwind by the pool or on a stunning tropical beach after all those hours spent searching for aardvarks! In East Africa, some of the best safari parks are within easy reach of the Zanzibar archipelago or Kenya's beaches. The Seychelles are also not far away. In Southern Africa the destination of choice is Mozambique.
For the more adventurous couple, there are many options for extreme safari activities - from hot air ballooning over the Serengeti, to white-water rafting, quad-biking, or a romantic tandem bungee jump at Victoria Falls?!
