How to plan a honeymoon
Romantic Escapes
The ultimate trip of a lifetime - at African Pride our team are here to help plan romantic and memorable escapes. Whether you would like to safari in style, enjoy the active outdoors or relax on a stunning beach, we can help combine the elements perfectly.
Where to start planning a honeymoon?
Many couples we speak to say they have been round in circles, with well meaning advice from family and friends leaving them more confused than when they started. Everyone has their own ideas on the where and when, but just like the wedding itself – we feel this special trip should be personalised. Our team will listen to your interests and ideas and use their specialist knowledge to craft a unique holiday – we think listening is an undervalued skill.
A personalised honeymoon
Two weeks on a tropical beach is of course blissful, but many couples want some activity or adventure thrown into the mix as well. A safari is just one – albeit spectacular – way to do something different. Africa offers stunning scenery, world class wining and dining and romantic options such as star bed sleepouts right across the continent, so whether it is game viewing or active adventuring we can suggest the right experiences for you. How to combine “Bush & Beach” seamlessly is our area of expertise. It’s not just honeymoons either – babymoons and special anniversary trips are increasingly popular celebratory holidays.
When to go on honeymoon?
For some couples jetting off straight after the wedding is a must after the excitement of the big day. For others, delaying the trip in order to witness the Great Migration, or to coincide with the best time to trek to see Mountain Gorillas may be more important. The weather impacts not just beach time but also many animal behaviours as well. With patterns varying right across Africa and the Indian Ocean, our when to travel and highlights guides are a great starting point, with our expert team here to bring your dreams to life.
How much does a honeymoon cost?
The 64 million dollar question! Rest assured when we talk budgets with you it is because we understand there are countless pressures on wedding finances. The great news is - Africa loves a special occasion. Many properties have exciting and enticing honeymoon discounts and offers. You may be asked to take a copy of your wedding certificate within a certain timeframe as these deals are genuine. We will also help plan and budget for the special moments such as hot air balloon safaris or private dining experiences that will stay with you forever.
