The continent of Africa is one of the most romantic places on our planet. Imagine escaping to a vast reserve with spectacular endless vistas and no other people around, it’s just you, your partner and the captivating African wildlife. Below are three superb African properties that you could consider for a safari honeymoon:
Islands of Siankaba
Islands of Siankaba is a beautiful lodge set on two private, untouched islands on the Zambezi River in Zambia. You’re just downstream from the magnificent Victoria Falls. On days when you’re feeling more active, head out to the falls for microlight flights, bunji jumping and white water rafting. Back at the lodge the atmosphere lends itself perfectly to a honeymoon. Think lazy cruises along the river as the sunsets, nature trails and romantic picnic lunches on the banks of the river.
Joy’s Camp
Set in the Shaba National Reserve, Joy’s Camp has spectacular views of the beautiful Shaba Hills. This is real, authentic Africa and you’ll feel like you’ve really escaped, leaving the hustle and bustle of everyday life far behind you. You’ll be able to go out and enjoy game drives in the day, stopping off in the bush for tasty bush breakfasts and lunches. Plus, the camp overlooks a waterhole where game comes down to drink, so you can watch the game from the comfort of your own tent too! Activities are varied at Joy’s; you can head out on guided walks, paint the wonderful surroundings, swim in the pool, enjoy the spa, visit local villages and learn more about the life of famous novelist and conservationist, Joy Adamson, who lived in the Shaba National Reserve.
Earth Lodge
