Sunset over the boats and harbour at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town

Cape Town · 4 nights

Ease into honeymoon time

Begin in one of the world’s most beautiful cities, where Table Mountain rises above the sea. Choose your base: a clifftop hideaway away from the buzz of the city, or an intimate retreat in the heart of the city close to the Waterfront, each renowned for its luxurious accommodation and breathtaking views. Either way, expect slow mornings, sunset views, world-class wine, and celebrated dining, the perfect way to ease into honeymoon time.

Safari, Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park · 3 nights

Earthy, romantic luxury at its most intimate

Travel north to the oldest game reserve in Africa, the malaria-free “home of the rhino”, where a glass-wrapped luxury lodge rests on a ridge between earth and sky. By day, set off on game drives in search of rhino, lion, elephant, and wild dog, or walk the wilderness with an expert guide. By night, your honeymoon suite becomes a haven: a king-size bed in crisp linen and dreamy mosquito netting, an open fireplace, a wide bath, and a private deck with an infinity-edge pool looking down the valley. Enjoy a private dining experience on the upper deck with prime views of the animals gathering at the waterhole. Earthy, romantic luxury at its most intimate.

A beach paradise on the Elephant Coast · 3 nights

Quite simply, paradise

For the final chapter, leave your shoes behind. We’ll send you to a resort voted the most romantic beach lodge on the Elephant Coast, a barefoot-luxury hideaway set deep within a UNESCO World Heritage wetland, welcoming just a handful of couples at a time. Imagine a private suite tucked into indigenous forest and wrapped in the sounds of the sea, with a plunge pool on an elevated deck beneath a shady milkwood tree and views of the breakers rolling in. A king-size bed dressed in crisp linen, candlelit baths, long beach walks, and dinners to the sound of the waves. Snorkel secluded reefs, watch for whales and dolphins from your deck, or, in season, witness nesting turtles and their hatchlings reaching the sea. Quite simply, paradise.

A seamless ten-night celebration weaving together the glamour of Cape Town, the thrill of a Big 5 safari, and the serenity of a world-class beach. Sea and safari, city and bush, adventure and complete relaxation, crafted into one unforgettable journey.
