Things To Do In South Africa

Setting out on safari will probably be the highlight of your South African honeymoon. Pursuing the Big 5 through the African bush with an expert game driver is a major bucket list experience. There are so many luxurious lodges to choose from and we have great relationships with the most gay-friendly ones. You can opt for a safari in the Cape Region or fly to Kruger, where you’ll find the most glamorous game reserves.

You can also take a trip to Zimbabwe and see Victoria Falls, the world’s largest waterfall. It’s one of nature’s greatest wonders. You can hear the cascading waters for miles around. The locals used to refer to it as Mosi-o-Tunya (“smoke that thunders”). You can take a cruise down Zambezi River, join a guided tour of the Falls and dine at the Batoka Gorge overlooking the waterfall.

Combining nature with the cosmopolitan energy of Cape Town and the fine wines of Franschhoek ticks all the boxes, and makes South Africa one of the best honeymoon destinations.
