HONEYMOON SAFARIS IN SOUTH AFRICA BY SARAH MANNERS

Honeymoon Safari's in South Africa by Sarah Manners

South Africa is a country of extreme beauty and natural wonders.Honeymooners are increasingly looking at South Africa as the ideal honeymoon destination. Safari Honeymoons have become a firm favourite amongst newlyweds as they combine the adventures
of the wild with luxury accommodation and treatment. After the stress filled months leading up to a wedding it is important for a bride and groom to spend time with one another away from it all, why not spend it revelling in the awesome beauty of the African bushveld and experiencing the wonders of nature together?

Planning Tips

When you are deciding on your honeymoon location, focus
on things that are important to you as a couple and select a
destination that neither one of you has been to so it will be a
new as well as a bonding experience for both of you. Decide on
the style of safari honeymoon you would like to have, establish
whether you are looking for adventure or luxury or a unique
combination of both. It is also helpful if you prearrange
special treats for the both of you before you arrive such as
such as a massage or a sunset cruise to enhance the romantic
experience. It is advisable, when booking air tickets to
your destination to make your wife's reservation in her maiden
name so it corresponds to her passport. You should always check
with your GP a few months before you are due to leave as to what
medical precautions, if any, you should be taking.


Safari in Africa

The word safari is rooted in Swahili, one of South Africa's
traditional languages. Meaning "long journey", it is most often
used to describe an overland adventure through African national
parks to observe wild life in their natural habitats. South
Africa is synonymous with the term the 'Big Five', the promise
of seeing these magnificent creatures up close and personal
lures many wildlife enthusiasts to the numerous parks and
reserves scattered around South Africa. Safari is often thought
to be a tough experience, roughing it in the wild. This is a
common misconception. Many of South Africa's game reserves are
home to stunning and luxurious accommodation offerings which are
often utilised for romantic Honeymoon getaways.


Luxurious Safari Offerings

The most famous amongst all safari destinations in South Africa
is the world renowned Kruger National Park and its surrounding
reserves. Situated in the Kruger National Park the Singita
Lembo Lodge offers honeymooners a slice of paradise amongst
the wild terrains and animals that roam the Kruger National. The
Sabi Sands reserve is located within the Kruger Park, the
absence of any restrictive fences between the two reserves
allows for excellent game viewing opportunities. Sabi Sabi
Game Lodge is a firm favourite amongst travellers seeking
romantic getaway spots whilst the ultra-luxurious Ulusaba
Lodge (owned by Sir Richard Branson) offers panoramic views
of the African landscape and its spectacular sunsets.

 Apart from living in 5 star luxury for the duration on
your stay at these lodges you can partake in game drives at
various times of the day and night, guided foot and fly-in
safaris as well as self-drive safaris. The memory of witnessing
a herd of elephants frolicking at the watering hole at sunset
will be forever etched onto your soul.

After the Sunset

There is something spectacularly mystifying about sharing an
African adventure with someone you love. Being surrounded
by pure natural beauty with the person you have decided to spend
your life is a truly sublime experience. When you return home to
the reality of your new lives together and to the everyday
pressures of life the memories of your African Honeymoon will
linger.
