South Africa Honeymoon Safari

View our recommended South Africa safari tours

After all the build up to your wedding day we understand that you want to get away; somewhere you can watch the sun set and the sky become a scattering of diamond- like stars, then drift off to sleep in your sumptuous suite surrounded by the sounds of the African bush.

That's why we've carefully selected South Africa honeymoon safaris far from the crowds in luxury lodges hidden away on private Kruger reserves, in romantic Eastern Cape lodges set on Big 5 reserves or close to the wild beaches and warm water of the KwaZulu Natal coast in the beautiful Phinda private reserve.

All these lodges offer great game viewing, luxurious suites and service so good you'll think the staff are telepathic. Then, just when things can't get any better, they'll throw in a romantic surprise like an intimate candlelit dinner on your private deck or a bottle of bubbly next to your petal-strewn bath.

And while you're in this beautiful county, we recommend you round off your romantic Kruger getaway or KwaZulu Natal honeymoon with a few days on the beach. Ask one of our safari experts to put together a safari and beach South African honeymoon that'll have you returning home tanned, relaxed and with enough memories to last a lifetime.

Our Travellers' Reviews of South Africa Honeymoon Safari Lodges:

"We were treated like royalty at Tintswalo Safari Lodge. Lauren, the manager, went to every extreme to satisfy our every whim, the game drives were very pleasant, our ranger was delightful and our tracker was amazing and the food was exceptional as well."

Corinne Helman, Go2Africa Traveller (May 2010)

"Pumba Game Reserve- I don't think we could have had a better time. For the first night we were the only guests at the Water Lodge - it was like it was our own house (but with lots of staff to care for our every need)!

"As there were no other guests for the first 2 game drives they permitted Poppy to go as well and she loved it. They looked after Poppy whilst we went on subsequent drives and she was looked after superbly.!"

Alan McCheyne, Go2Africa Traveller (Nov 2009)

"We see you saved the best til last! Phinda Vlei Lodge is truly unbelievable.

"Saw all the big 5 game and much more. The room (with its own private infinity plunge pool which game come to drink from! - nice surprise) was absolutely exquisite and the service was ++5*. Every day they surprise you with something (bush breakfast, group dinner, private dinner etc) and very friendly and relaxed."

Tessa Parry-Wingfield, Go2Africa Traveller (May 2009)
