Opting For A Honeymoon Safari

By Stacey Burt


What better way to celebrate the beginning of a life together than for a couple to go on safari. There are a variety of different options available for a honeymoon safari. As it may be difficult to make a choice, it is fortunate that many companies are available to help with a decision and they will often customize a tour for a couple according to their budget.

It is also a good idea to consider type of travel and whether simple camps, luxury tented camps or traditional lodges are preferred. The couple may be quite happy about joining a group or they may prefer to customize their own tour. Fortunately, there are many companies prepared to help with planning.

Most couples want some luxury when it comes to accommodation and they will not be disappointed. Many of the lodges are extremely luxurious and even the tented camps have a high standard of accommodation. Beautifully designed and decorated private suites are available for the special couple. Of course those with a more limited budget have simpler options available to them.

There is nothing like the tranquility of the bush with its spectacular sunrises and sunsets for a romantic experience. A candlelit dinner, sleeping under the stars, taking a moonlit bath or going on a hot air balloon ride followed by a champagne breakfast are just some of the occasions that make such a safari so memorable. Camp managers often spoil the couple with complimentary champagne and other treats.

Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique, Namibia and South Africa are just some of the wonderful destinations to choose from. Some countries offer the best of both worlds with amazing game viewing as well as pristine beaches. A package may include several days in the bush viewing wildlife followed by a time of relaxing on white sands and swimming in clear waters.

Great care is taken to ensure that meals on safaris are inviting. They are usually prepared by well trained chefs. Of course, the type of food available depends on what option has been chosen but in most cases it is plentiful and enticing with plenty of fresh ingredients being used. Of course the lodges are often well known for their enticing restaurants.

Fears about dangerous animals and other safety issues may put couples off such a trip. However, safety of guests is a special concern of any reputable company and everything possible will be done to ensure this. Guides used are expertly trained and know how to assess situations and avoid danger.

Choosing a company with years of experience and an excellent track record will help to ensure that an experience is as enjoyable and safe as possible. Customizing a trip may be a more expensive but it also ensures that you get exactly what you are looking for. This is an experience that may not come around again too quickly and offers many couples a chance to experience something quite unique to mark the beginning of their married life together.
