Africa has it all: iconic wildlife, epic landscapes, ancient wonders, and an incredible variety of cultures that have intrigued intrepid adventurers for centuries! However, this vast and beautiful continent also has its sweet side, and it’s a perfect place for newlyweds looking to experience the ultimate romantic getaway. A honeymoon, after all, is usually a once-in-a-lifetime affair, so why not make it unforgettable?
At Ntaba, we can create your ultimate honeymoon safari. We will recommend destinations to you based on your requirements and customise a safari that will last long in the memory of you and your partner.
Africa is a continent full of different landscapes, cultures and experiences. Which is why it is such a fantastic honeymoon destination. Whether you want a beach honeymoon, an adventurous honeymoon, a safari honeymoon, or a luxury honeymoon you can find it in Africa.
Africa offers unforgettable honeymoon experiences, blending adventure, luxury, and breathtaking landscapes—from iconic safaris to idyllic beaches.
South Africa – Safari Meets City Chic
South Africa offers the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, making it an ideal choice for honeymooners. Explore vibrant Cape Town, sip wine in the Cape Winelands, and head to the Greater Kruger for a romantic safari. Many lodges offer private plunge pools, spa treatments, and candlelit dinners under the stars.
Tanzania & Zanzibar – Wildlife and White Sands
Tanzania delivers for couples who want both safari and beach. Experience the drama of the Serengeti or the stunning Ngorongoro Crater, then unwind on the spice-scented island of Zanzibar. Many luxury lodges and beachfront resorts offer honeymoon suites, private excursions, and sunset dhow cruises.
Seychelles – Barefoot Island Luxury
The Seychelles is a tropical paradise for couples seeking peace, privacy, and beauty. Its turquoise waters, powdery beaches, and lush rainforests create the perfect romantic backdrop. Choose from exclusive resorts on Mahe, Praslin, or La Digue, where villas with private pools and ocean views are the norm.
Botswana – Luxury in the Wild
Botswana is known for its unspoilt wilderness and top-tier safari experiences. The Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park offer incredible wildlife, while luxury camps provide private game drives, bush dinners, and sunset cruises. Its remote setting ensures a more intimate and exclusive honeymoon.
Imagine this: you’re on an evening game drive, the engine softly purring to a halt. You step out, hand in hand with your partner, a sundowner in the other hand, as the golden African sun dips below the horizon. An acacia tree stands silhouetted against the sky, and in the distance, a lone giraffe strolls gracefully across the plains. The soundtrack? Groaning hippos, chattering monkeys, and the occasional call of a bird overhead. It’s a scene straight out of a dream—made even more magical by the person beside you.
An African safari is not just a bucket-list experience—it’s a deeply romantic one. Honeymooners can elevate it with private game drives, candlelit bush dinners, and secluded suites with plunge pools overlooking the wilderness. It’s a chance to disconnect from the world and reconnect with each other, surrounded by the rhythm and beauty of nature.
Combining the thrill of safari with the serenity of the sea, a beach and bush honeymoon offers the best of both worlds—wildlife adventures by day and white-sand relaxation by night.
Africa boasts over 18,000 miles (30,000 km) of coastline, home to some of the world’s most pristine beaches. From the rugged charm of South Africa’s Wild Coast to the postcard-perfect islands of the Seychelles, Mauritius, Madagascar, Mozambique, and Malawi—there’s no shortage of stunning options.
Choosing the right beach can be challenging with such a wide array of destinations. Do you opt for the untouched beauty of Cape Verde’s volcanic islands off West Africa? The remote shores of Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago? Or the classic Indian Ocean romance of Zanzibar or the Seychelles?
Often, your choice of beach will be guided by your safari destination. For example, Zanzibar makes a natural pairing if you’re heading to Tanzania for a wildlife adventure. If your safari is in South Africa’s Kruger Private Reserves, you might extend your trip with a visit to the Garden Route or the beaches of KwaZulu-Natal.
With so many incredible options, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed—but that’s where we come in. As African travel experts, we’ll help you craft a seamless and unforgettable beach and bush honeymoon based entirely on your preferences and travel style.
Few experiences are more romantic than an island escape—and for honeymooners, it’s often at the very top of the wishlist. At Ntaba African Safaris, we know these islands intimately and can help you discover the one that’s right for you.
Africa’s Indian Ocean is scattered with dreamy destinations perfect for couples: from the luxurious seclusion of the Seychelles and Mauritius to the wild beauty of Madagascar, the untouched shores of Mozambique, and even the postcard-perfect Maldives. Whether you’re after barefoot luxury, overwater villas, coral-rich snorkelling, or just endless time together beneath palm trees, your island paradise awaits.
South Africa is an exceptional honeymoon destination, offering adventure, romance, and natural beauty. From world-famous wildlife reserves and dramatic landscapes to golden beaches, rolling vineyards, and the vibrant city life of Cape Town, it truly has something for every couple.
Whether you dream of a luxurious safari under star-studded skies, a scenic road trip along the Garden Route, or a beachside escape with waves lapping at your feet—South Africa delivers. With a wide range of honeymoon accommodations, from boutique lodges to five-star retreats, you’ll find the perfect setting to begin your journey together.
Africa is a vast and diverse continent, so there’s always somewhere exceptional to visit—no matter the time of year.
East Africa (including Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda) shines during its dry winter months, from mid-June to October. Expect sunny skies, pleasant temperatures, and incredible wildlife viewing—especially during the Great Migration. Similarly, Southern Africa’s prime safari season runs from May to October, when game viewing is at its best due to sparse vegetation and animals gathering around water sources.
That said, the off-season—or green season—offers its own unique appeal. With fewer tourists, lower prices, and lush, vibrant landscapes, it’s an ideal time for travellers seeking tranquillity and excellent photography conditions. It’s also the best time to witness newborn animals on safari, adding a tender touch to the adventure.
Ultimately, the best time to visit depends on what you want to see and do—but rest assured, Africa offers unforgettable experiences year-round.
The cost of an African honeymoon can vary widely depending on your travel style, destinations, and accommodation preferences. Fortunately, Africa offers a broad range of options—from barefoot luxury to ultra-luxe retreats—so crafting an itinerary that suits your budget is often possible.
Typically, the safari portion is the most expensive element of the trip. A night on safari, especially in a private reserve or luxury lodge, generally costs more than a night at the beach, in the city, or at Victoria Falls. That’s why many couples choose to balance their time between safari and more affordable (yet equally stunning) destinations like coastal escapes or cultural cities.
Whether you’re working with a modest budget or planning a no-expense-spared honeymoon, we’ll help design a personalised itinerary that delivers unforgettable experiences and exceptional value.

Chances are you encountered (a lot of) stress during your wedding planning and the last thing you need is to anxiety about your honeymoon. So leave the pressure behind, take your time, figure out what you really want to do and make your honeymoon your dream holiday.
To help ease whatever pressure you have to deliver a dream honeymoon we have compiled a host of tips to help plan your romantic getaway.
A wedding registry is a great idea to help save money on your honeymoon. Not only that but it gets your friends and family involved in the experience as they can contribute towards activities. You can use a website to create your honeymoon wedding registry and share it with wedding guests and instead of a traditional wedding gift they can contribute towards or buy items on the list. This can be anything from cable car tickets up Table Mountain to a helicopter ride over the Victoria Falls.
Here is an example of a honeymoon wedding registry: Ntaba Africa honeymoon wishes.
Every couple is unique as are their passions and interests. We recognise this and create custom romantic getaways to suit the desires of all newlyweds who want to start their life together with an adventure in Africa.
