There are usually two factors that brides and grooms to be are looking for when they plan their honeymoon, and that’s romance and luxury. Sometimes, adventure or relaxation should be thrown in the mix as well, depending on the couple. You can have all these things in one package if you decide to book an African safari holiday for your honeymoon.
The romantic element comes from the spectacular and exotic scenery that Africa offers. When we think of beaches, places like the Caribbean or other islands come to mind. However, Africa boasts some of the world’s best beaches, and also stunning scenery to match. The heat and the opportunity to sun yourself is still there, but in more adventurous surroundings. Watching an African sunset can be one of the most romantic things you’ll come across – unrivalled by many other kinds of holiday destination.
Safaris don’t need to be rough and ready; they can be luxurious, too – from the accommodation to the travel itself. You can be looked after by high quality guides, be pampered and enjoy the five star treatment that you’d expect from any other honeymoon destination. There’s also a variety of African countries to visit depending on your needs – Safaris aren’t restricted to just one place on the continent.
Finally, of course, there’s the adventure of the safari itself. Whereas beaches, relaxation, sunsets and luxury surroundings can be found in many places, there is a unique element of being on safari and seeing rare and beautiful animals in their natural environment. Seeing a majestic lion, elephant, or giraffe in their natural setting adds a special, magical element to anyone’s honeymoon – and you’ll remember it for life.
A Safari may not be the first thing that springs to mind when you’re planning your honeymoon, but once you’ve looked at the advantages and variety an African safari has to offer – it could be a strong contender for that magical time with your future spouse.
