Luxury Africa Vacation: South Africa and Mauritius Honeymoon
Make your honeymoon unique with this Luxury Africa Vacation. Go on safari in a private game reserve, tour Johannesburg, and relax at a luxury beach resort in Mauritius.
We designed this Luxury Africa Vacation: South Africa and Mauritius Honeymoon for a couple from Pittsburgh who wanted a truly unforgettable honeymoon. This fabulous Africa vacation combined safari, city, and beach all with the utmost luxury.
They began their Luxury Africa Vacation at Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge. Located on a private game reserve sharing unfenced borders with Kruger National Park, Earth Lodge provides excellent game viewing with a touch of exclusivity. The Earth Lodge—named one of National Geographic‘s Unique Lodges of the World—is a sanctuary symbolizing a new era in luxury South African safari lodges.
Sculpted into a slope of the earth, almost invisible in the landscape, the lodge uses texture, light and space to present a lodge like no other. Taking its cue from the surrounding environment, it has been described as the most environmentally sensitive lodge in Africa. They spent 4 days here enjoying fabulous safari adventures, gorgeous natural surroundings, and unparalleled service.
Continuing their Luxury Africa Vacation, they flew to Johannesburg and had a full day of touring this bustling metropolis. First, their private guide met them at the airport for a leisurely tour of the Gauteng province that was completely tailored to their interests. Then, they enjoyed a walking tour to see Johannesburg’s abundant and colorful public art.
The next day, they flew to the last stop on their Luxury Africa Vacation: LUX* Le Morne in beautiful, sunny Mauritius. They spent a week here enjoying the incredible sandy beaches, romantic sunsets, vibrant lagoon, and luxurious 5-star hotel grounds. They were completely free to indulge or adventure at their leisure. They also had a special opportunity to swim with playful dolphins! They enjoyed romantic gourmet dinners with ocean views, recharged with treatments in the fabulous spa, and simply soaked up their heavenly surroundings.
At last, their Luxury Africa Vacation came to an end. They said goodbye to their beach resort and returned home filled with memories to last a lifetime.
