HONEYMOON COSTS
You've already made a great decision in deciding on a luxury Africa Honeymoon for 2025, but with so many destinations, prices, seasons, and accommodation options how do you choose a package that fits your budget?
This page will help you narrow the field and give you an idea of the costs involved for your honeymoon, once done, contact us and let's custom design the perfect package for you.
Star Rating
The biggest factor affecting African honeymoon costs is the star rating and with four-star, five-star and now five-star premier properties, the price of your Africa honeymoon package can vary greatly. It's worth noting that you don't want anything under 4-star accommodation as the experience can be less than ideal.
All prices below are per person sharing.
Four Star
7 Nights from $5,297 pps
It's worth noting that good four-star accommodation in Africa is more often than not superior to European or American Four Star accommodation, and many great packages exist.
The biggest difference perhaps is what's included in your stay, as for the most part four-star only includes bed and breakfast whilst a five-star African honeymoon package is typically fully inclusive of meals and local drinks.
Prices in Cape Town will be lower than prices in the bush for example, which brings down the overall cost of your Africa honeymoon.
Five Star
7 Nights from $6,757 pps
The Five Star properties we work with are the best in their class and are reviewed frequently by our staff to ensure high standards of customer services, accommodation, cuisine and overall experience.
These properties are typically all-inclusive of meals and local drinks with 2 private daily game drives as part of the package cost.
Additionally, five-star properties more often than not enjoy premier locations and access to local wildlife, making the added expense worth it if you can upgrade your honeymoon budget.
Perhaps friends and family can chip into your wedding registry :)
Five Star Premier
7 Nights from $8,897 pps
There are only ten hotels and lodges in Africa to be awarded the prestigious five-star premier status.
These properties are the exceptional gems that go way beyond the traditional levels of service and excellence to ensure your Africa honeymoon is the best it can be.
These hotels and lodges offer the best of everything from accommodation to personal butler service, unique experiences, animal interaction and so much more you'll need to enquire for the full list of exceptional honeymoon exclusive experiences.

SEASONS
The seasons vary from destination to destination but for the most part the busiest time of the year and therefore the most expensive time to travel is from December to February.
This is also the hottest time of the year and not the best for game viewing - although it is still very good, it's just that the animals seek shelter during the day from the hot sun and the bush is denser due to higher rainfall.
On the flip side if you choose a destination with ample waterholes you can see incredible wildlife on your safari and reduce your Africa honeymoon costs by travelling this time of the year.
Typically, however, July to October is ideal for game viewing.

The best place in the world to see the mighty gorillas in the wild is undoubtedly Rwanda, a bucket list experience and a dream honeymoon destination if you can afford the higher the average fees, due mainly to licensing requirements to venture into the gorillas natural habitat.
Rwanda gorilla tracking is limited yearly to protect the surrounds and gorillas themselves from becoming stressed by tourists.

Africa Honeymoon Costs 2025
In conclusion, you can visit Africa for your honeymoon starting at a little over $5,000 for a 7-day luxury trip. This will cover the two most popular destinations in Cape Town and The Kruger National Park, home to the widest variety of animal species on the continent.
If you can afford upwards of $7,000 per person sharing, then you can get a 5-star all-inclusive honeymoon with an island destination as an add-on, or Victoria Falls.
If money is no object then the best Africa Honeymoon would combine Cape Town, The Kruger, Vic Falls, Okavango Delta and Seychelles into one package so special that National Geographic will want to cover it :)
