Best picks for luxury honeymoons in Africa

Overview

If you are able to ‘go big’ on your honeymoon, there can be few better places than Africa. Our immense areas of National Parks and other protected conservation areas for wild animals and their natural habitats offer some 'once a lifetime' experiences with truly amazing places to stay, far-flung and extraordinary places to visit and enticing, unique things to do.

Our luxury honeymoons in Africa are invariably tailored around each couple. So we only show a couple of sample ideas here to whet your appetite. The direction in which you may like to go is decided upon when chatting with us.

However, there is no shortage of 24-carat destinations. Below we outline some of our top honeymoon picks. Places so gorgeous you won’t want to leave the room, let alone your hotel. And places so special you won't care about the accommodation, just that you are there with your beloved.

Excellent bespoke itineraries

"Milandi puts together excellent bespoke itineraries, is proactive and provides excellent customer service " Mrs Jessie, UK

Thank you for arranging such an excellent trip!!

"I would like to thank you for arranging such an excellent trip to see the wildflowers in the Cape, and especially for selecting our guide. He was perfect in all respects. He knew where to take us, knew the identities of most of the flowers and plants, and was a font of knowledge about southern Africa. As for the flowers, we couldn’t have picked a better year or a better time, and your itinerary got us into some of the most spectacular scenes, better than we had ever imagined. " Mr Bell

Fabulous time

"I can only say we had a fabulous time!!! The organisation from your side was great. Everyone turned up on time and everything was organised as planned. I have to say we were very encouraged about how well though of Cedarberg were with the travel providers and accordingly, we were extremely well looked after. Do thank Gloria for all her help in South Africa, and particular thanks to you and the Cedarberg staff in London for organizing such a great trip – our third with you! " Dolman & Kerr Family

It was by far the best experience we have ever had!!

"We are (regrettably) back from our trip and I wanted to let you know that it was by far the best experience we have ever had. The itinerary you designed for us was simply outstanding. Our guide in Cape Town was incredible and made sure we maximized our time, even throwing in little unexpected side trips to a wine farm, etc. The accommodations were top notch everywhere we stayed and the service was over the top. I actually don’t have the right words to express how wonderful this trip was. I would say it was life-changing, as it gave us a totally new perspective on the wonders of nature. Thank you a million times over. This will not be our last visit to South Africa! " Mrs Deb

Rwanda was inspiring

"My wife and I approached Cederberg requesting a draft itinerary and recommendations for a visit to Rwanda. We received prompt, well-informed assistance, and a final itinerary which was absolutely perfect. Our tour of the country was well-structured in terms of acclimatisation, pace and variety. On the second last day of our visit, we met up with another group who had opted for a different tour agency, and were exhausted by the disproportionate amount of time spent on the road rather than enjoying the delights of their respective destinations. " Mr David, USA

Exceeded all expectations

"Cedarberg was professional, responsive, and personable. All flights, all transfers, all accommodation, all activities, and the safari itself went exactly to plan. The experience, end-to-end, exceeded all expectations. " Mr Michael Barnard
