The Designer Honeymoon

Itinerary information

Fly from Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport to the Singita airstrip in the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve. Upon your arrival, you'll receive a warm welcome, complete with your favorite coffee blend (or tea) to wake you up after the long trip. We will then whisk you off quickly to Singita Boulders, one of the region’s most luxurious lodges. Settle in, freshen up, and take stock of your new surroundings. Enjoy an alfresco dinner around the boma fire after an afternoon game drive in this game-rich destination. You've always wanted to see the Big 5.

Entering your luxury suite, you'll find a copy of the book you've had on your wishlist, your preferred vintage of wine already chilled and the bed covered in photos of your wedding. The past few weeks have been such a whirlwind you've struggled to stop and take in how beautiful your celebration was.

A night spent at Singita Boulders Lodge offers an idyllic initiation to your safari adventure. We know you and your partner are early risers, so you are up before sunrise, going on a game drive where you'll immerse yourselves in the captivating natural surroundings. As the sun sets, gather around the crackling boma fire, acquainting yourself with the nocturnal bush sounds while making your favorite evening snack; smores

Before you lay your head to rest, there's a knock at the door. Your concierge has brought a phone to you. You never go to bed without checking in with your parents and there they are on the other end of the phone, 1,000s of miles away.

The following two days are dedicated to immersing yourself in the landscapes and abundant wildlife of the Kruger National Park. Engage in a series of exhilarating morning, afternoon, and evening game drives, each promising memorable encounters. Explore the surrounding reserve on nature walks with your ranger, delving into the finer details of the ecosystem.

This morning you’ll board a charter flight that will take you back to Johannesburg for a night at Fairlawns Boutique Hotel. Relax and unwind after your flight with a treatment at the spa, a swim in the swimming pool or even a workout at the gym.

Enjoy a silver service dinner at the hotel’s Terrace Restaurant as you can gaze out over the illuminated city with a glass of fine South African wine. For dinner, you've been enjoying having your meals chosen for you, but we know you like to be in charge so today you make the choice between three options of traditional South African cuisine.

To wind down after your day, you come back to a luxurious bath, with rose petals floating on the surface and surrounded by candles, just like the photo saved to your Pinterest board. The bath is infused with your favorite fragrance of lavender, and a little too hot for your liking, but perfect for your partner. After all, marriage is all about compromise.

Itinerary information

From here, a road transfer takes you to Six Senses Zil Pasyon resort where you'll spend three nights. The Six Senses Zil Pasyon resort has an almost endless list of facilities and services on offer, from private beaches and a sensational spa to high-tech gym and breakfast in bed. Your personal ‘Guest Experiences Maker' or GEM will ensure your every request is taken care of.

You're an avid animal lover (you wouldn't be on a safari if you weren't) but your interest extends from just those on land. At the resort, you get the chance to watch turtles hatching on the beach. After all, that's why the trip was planned for this time of year. You also get to take part in your favorite water activities with your partner including water snorkeling, swimming, kayaking and more.

One night you come back from an excursion and find two brand-new outfits hung up for you and your partner, the exact brand and cut you've had your eye on for months. You put the outfit on and head down to a special cellar dinner where you can select local wine from an extensive cellar and enjoy a candlelit, private dinner.

We know you're a big film buff, and you've been waiting to watch a particular film in the cinema but you've simply been too busy to go. Don't worry. We've set up a private outdoor movie screening experience on the beach, featuring the film and complete with salted popcorn and a cozy setup under the stars.

For your final day, you'll be woken early to watch the sunrise, something you always do on the last day of a vacation to remember the location fondly. For breakfast you'll indulge in all your favorite morning foods to prepare you for the day; pancakes topped with fresh, local fruit, and your guilty pleasure: a pain au chocolat, fresh and warm.

After, you'll bid a fond farewell to the Seychelles and board your boat transfer to Praslin Island and to Praslin Island Airport, where you are able to continue with onward travel arrangements home.

But before you go, you and your partner are given a photobook of your time together to enjoy on the flight home.
