For your African honeymoon, you can choose enticing tropical islands, golden beaches and romantic lodges. For those in the Northern Hemisphere, the notion of the ubiquitous ‘week on the beach’ is deeply embedded in our psyche. A honeymoon isn’t a proper honeymoon unless we have bleached our hair with salt, wind and sun and covered at least one paperback with sand. Combine a beach honeymoon with Africa’s pristine wilderness for the ultimate African honeymoon - See Bush and Beach honeymoons.
The good news is that there are some terrific unspoilt beaches in Southern and East Africa for your African honeymoon. The bad news is that they are not all uniformly wonderful all year round; monsoons affect East Africa and most of the Southern African coast is cold in the winter months. So, your choice should be influenced by when you can get away for your honeymoon.
When you are planning your African honeymoon, consider the following great honeymoon destinations:
December to February - All of the Southern and East African beaches and the Indian Ocean Islands are hottest and sunniest at this time, but book early, especially if travelling out or back between mid December and mid January. In the Cape, (South Africa) there is little chance of rain but there is a greater probability of rainstorms on the KwaZulu Natal Coast, Mozambique and Mauritius, peaking in February.
March to May - East Africa has a wet season in April and May, so KwaZulu Natal in South Africa, the Mozambique Islands, Mauritius and The Seychelles are most appealing.
June to September - Very pleasant temperatures on the coast of East Africa, the Indian Ocean Islands and the Mozambique Islands.
October to November - Temperatures warming up everywhere. Swimming off the Southern Coast starts being attractive again in November, much earlier in KwaZulu Natal. Good weather in East Africa and the Islands.
