More Details
Your honeymoon in South Africa first begins in the heart of the South African bush in Greater Kruger National Park. Stay at the ultra-luxurious Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge, where privacy and nature blend seamlessly. Indeed, each suite features a private deck and plunge pool, perfect for quiet mornings and sunset views. The safari lodge therefore represents one of the best honeymoon spots in South Africa.
During your stay, enjoy twice-daily game drives in search of the Big Five in the private game reserve. Experienced guides and trackers bring wildlife encounters to life, often just moments from your suite. Then, between African safaris, relax with spa treatments or enjoy candlelit dinners under the stars.
Then travel to the Cape Winelands and the charming village of Franschhoek. You will eventually check in to La Clé Lodge, an elegant and intimate retreat surrounded by vineyards and mountains.
Here, slow the pace and savor the scenery. First, explore the Winelands with a private guide who offers insider access to boutique wineries and historic estates. Perhaps even enjoy a romantic picnic after a horseback ride or e-bike journey through the countryside.
Not a wine drinker? Franschhoek offers much more for those who crave something different. Discover chocolate, olive oil, or cheese tastings. Or, enjoy scenic hikes, garden visits, or private art and history walks.
As a result, this region proves an ideal stop on any South Africa honeymoon itinerary.
Afterward, follow one of South Africa’s most scenic coastal routes to Hermanus. Settle into Birkenhead House, a boutique hotel perched above Walker Bay on the Western Cape.
During whale migration season, enjoy some of the world’s best shore-based whale watching directly from the property. Beyond wildlife, Hermanus also offers diverse experiences. Adventurous couples may choose a shark cage dive or sea kayaking from the old harbor. Moreover, food lovers can visit the nearby Hemel en Aarde Valley for wine tastings or join a head chef for mussel picking along the coast.
Of course, relaxation always proves an option. Unwind with spa treatments or simply soak in the ocean views from the terrace.
Finally, conclude your luxury South Africa honeymoon package in vibrant Cape Town. Stay at the exclusive Ellerman House, known for its outstanding art collection and impressive wine cellar.
Spend your days exploring this amazing honeymoon destination with a private guide. Drive along the dramatic coastline of the Cape Peninsula. Along the way, visit charming seaside towns and iconic viewpoints such as Boulders Beach. Of course, a highlight includes time at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, where indigenous flora frames mountain and city views.
In the evenings, enjoy fine dining, sunset cocktails, and quiet moments overlooking the Atlantic. Indeed, Cape Town’s blend of culture, nature, and luxury offers the perfect finale to your Luxury South Africa Honeymoon.
