This Romantic South Africa Vacation is perfect for a honeymoon, or simply an intimate adventure for 2. We designed this itinerary for a honeymoon couple from Seattle who wanted to go on an adventure and cap off their honeymoon with a beach getaway. This package took them to Cape Town, a South African safari, and a luxurious island resort in Mozambique.
They started their Romantic South Africa Vacation by soaking up the romance of Cape Town. They stayed at Kensington Place, an exclusive boutique hotel. Though located in a lush, quiet suburb, this luxury hotel is just minutes away from the excitement of Cape Town and offers stunning views of Table Mountain. They spent 2 days exploring the attractions of Cape Town at their own pace, then took a day trip to Cape Riviera. There, they discovered charming coastal towns and enjoyed spectacular whale watching at Walker Bay.
Continuing their Romantic South Africa Vacation, they experienced unique and personal wildlife adventures during their stay at the famous Kruger National Park. Upon arrival at their luxury safari lodge, they settled into their secluded suite and enjoyed a private view of the Mabrak River mere feet away. During their 3-night stay, they took early morning game drives to search for the Big 5, enjoyed an intimate bush walk with their expert guide, and relaxed at the lodge in the afternoon before heading out for more game drives in the evening. At the lodge, they enjoyed delicious outdoor meals on the boma and had access to a world-class wine selection.
Their Romantic South Africa Vacation ended on a note of rest and relaxation in a piece of paradise: Benguerra Island. This luxury lodge in Mozambique is set in a protected marine conservation area and offers pristine beaches and unspoiled coral reefs teeming with marine life. Our clients took advantage of the calm, clear waters with plenty of snorkeling and swimming. During their stay, they took a sea kayaking excursion and enjoyed a romantic sunset cruise on a wooden dhow. They also decided to indulge in a breathtaking helicopter flight for a stunning view of the lush island and cerulean waters.
At last, their Romantic South Africa Vacation came to an end. They were transferred to the airport to begin their journey home.
