Frequently asked questions
What honeymoon specials do safari lodges offer in South Africa?
Many luxury safari lodges offer special honeymoon packages if you travel within 6 months of your wedding date. Notable lodges with honeymoon specials include Tengile River Lodge, The Dulini Collection, and Ngala Tented Camp. These packages typically include romantic extras and special touches to make your honeymoon memorable. Examples include pay three nights and stay four nights, Bride pays 50% and exclusive properties, experiences and upgrades.
Should I choose Singita or Londolozi for my honeymoon safari?
Both are excellent choices and in the top 1% of luxury safari lodges in the private reserves of the Kruger National Park, it really comes down to your personal preferences. I recommend speaking to a Kruger Park honeymoon specialist on a video call to discuss these options in more detail.
How many nights should I spend on safari for my honeymoon?
The most common number of nights is 4 - 7 nights as there are pay stay specials you can take advantage of. This means you can book 3 nights and get the 4th night free.
How expensive is staying at luxury safari lodges for a South Africa honeymoon?
Luxury safari lodges start from $650 USD per person nightly for a four star experience. This includes accommodation, airport transfer, all meals and local drinks as well as an early morning game drive and a late afternoon into the evening game drive. The value is truly exceptional, with unforgettable memories.
What safari and beach combinations work well for a South Africa honeymoon?
The most popular beach or island destination for luxury South Africa honeymoons is Mozambique. The two top choices are Benguerra Island and the Bazaruto Archipelagos. This is a short flight from South Africa and well worth visiting for the local cuisine alone!
