More Details

Your Botswana honeymoon safari first begins in Johannesburg, South Africa. Upon landing, a Ker & Downey representative meets you and assists with your transfer to your hotel near the airport.

After a long international journey, enjoy a relaxed evening together. Share dinner, unwind, and prepare for the adventure ahead. This first night offers a calm beginning before your Botswana honeymoon continues into the wilderness the next day.

Next, fly into Botswana and continue to the famous Okavango Delta. Your base here is Duba Plains Camp, an intimate camp set deep within the heart of the Okavango. Its romantic Meru-style tented camp structure offers both comfort and seclusion during your safari in Botswana.

Each day begins with early morning game drives led by experienced guides. As the sun rises over the floodplains, watch for elephants, buffalo, lions, and antelope moving through the landscape. Because wildlife thrives in this region, the Delta represents one of the best safari destinations in Southern Africa. You may even explore by boat or mokoro, passing the palm-dotted islands in the Okavango Delta.

After your morning excursion, relax at camp, lounging beside your private plunge pool or visiting the wine cellar. Meanwhile, attentive staff prepare gourmet meals and refreshing drinks.

In the evenings, return to the bush for sunset drives in search of predators and nocturnal species. Afterwards, gather beneath the stars for dinner and quiet moments together. These peaceful evenings define the romance of a Botswana honeymoon safari.

Then continue north to the Selinda Reserve, a vast private concession near Chobe National Park. This remote region features Free-roaming wildlife and quiet safari experiences.

Stay at Selinda Camp, an ideal romantic hideaway for your Botswana honeymoon. Indeed, the camp offers spacious tented suites with private decks, plunge pools, and outdoor showers. Because visitor numbers remain low, couples often enjoy wildlife sightings with few other vehicles nearby.

Morning and afternoon game drives reveal elephants, buffalo, and predators moving across the plains. Meanwhile, expert guides explain the landscape and animal behavior, enriching every outing.

Between activities, relax in your suite or enjoy time together overlooking the surrounding bush. Further enhance your stay with massage treatments from your private deck. Later, dine beneath lantern light as chefs present romantic six-course interactive dining experiences with local ingredients.

This portion of your journey combines adventure with comfort at one of the most exclusive Botswana luxury resorts.

Finally, cross into Zambia for the last chapter of your Botswana honeymoon safari. Royal Chundu River Lodge offers a luxurious escape in the shadow of the dramatic Victoria Falls. Its location on nine miles of private waterway along the Zambezi River offers a romantic experience from bygone days.

Begin with a guided visit to Victoria Falls, one of the world’s most impressive natural landmarks. Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or “The Smoke That Thunders,” the falls plunge dramatically into the gorge below. While here, take a walk through the knife edge bridge for spectacular views up the main gorge and of the eastern cataract.

In addition, you can visit a local village, enjoy a safari game drive, or take a walk with your private guide. Meanwhile, river activities offer a relaxed way to explore the area. Options of course include canoe trips, sunset cruises, and boat excursions along the Zambezi.

During your final evenings, enjoy quiet dinners overlooking the river. With soft light and the sounds of the water, the setting offers a perfect ending to your Botswana honeymoon safari.
