South Africa and Seychelles Romantic Escape Package

From breathtaking coastal mountains to luxury safari lodges to picture-perfect beaches, discover the ultimate romantic adventure in Africa!

We designed this South Africa and Seychelles Romantic Escape Package for a honeymoon couple from Texas. They wanted a bit of everything: city life in Cape Town, a nature lover’s paradise in Hermanus, a Big 5 safari in Kruger National Park, and a luxurious beach getaway in the Seychelles.

They started their South Africa and Seychelles Romantic Escape Package in Cape Town. They had plenty of free time to hike on Table Mountain, explore the shops in town, and enjoy beautiful ocean views on their private terrace. Next, they traveled to Grootbos Private Nature Reserve near Hermanus. They stayed at an incredible 5-star lodge where they were treated to stunning views of lush vegetation leading to a picturesque bay—the perfect setting for romance!

Continuing their South Africa and Seychelles Romantic Escape Package, they flew to the Sabi Sands region of Kruger National Park for 4 nights on safari at the luxurious Dulini Moya. The Big 5 game viewing here is superb and perfect for a first time safari. The staff at Dulini go above and beyond to provide special surprises to their guests, so our clients truly got the VIP treatment for their honeymoon. They were sad to say goodbye to this very special lodge.

They finished their South Africa and Seychelles Romantic Escape Package in the Seychelles, where the turquoise waters and powdery white sand beaches made them feel as if they’d stepped into a postcard. They stayed at the fabulous Banyan Tree resort, soaking up beautiful views from their private pool villa. They also did some rum tasting on the island and visited the most photographed beach in the world, La Source d’Argent.

After 4 nights in a beach paradise, their honeymoon came to an end. They returned home with fond memories of their adventure of a lifetime!

Day 7 – 9
Enjoy 3 full days on safari in the Sabi Sands, widely considered a top safari destination. The area shares an unfenced border with the famous Kruger National Park, so Big 5 game viewing is superb. The Sabi Sands is especially well known for its abundance of leopards, which are quite difficult to spot in other areas. Your safari vehicle will carry a maximum of 6 passengers, and your expert guides will share their wealth of knowledge to unravel the intricate nuances of the African bush.

Game drives take place in the early morning and in the evening, when the wildlife is at its most active. In between game drives, you’ll have plenty of time to relax at the gorgeous lodge, cool off in your private plunge pool, and indulge in delicious cuisine. Walking safaris are also available for a more intimate bush experience. In the evenings, enjoy one-of-a-kind dinners in truly special settings, including an iconic boma dinner.
