Honeymoons in Africa

Honeymoons in Africa

Safaris, Tropical Seas and Tailor-made Itineraries for the Perfect Honeymoon

The trip you’ll remember for the rest of your lives

A honeymoon is much more than just a holiday: it’s the first big journey of your new life together.

Africa is a destination that offers unique experiences: sunrise on the savannah, the roar of a lion in the distance, dinner under a starry sky, a toast as the African sun sets, and relaxing on tropical beaches lapped by crystal-clear waters.

With South African Dream, we transform these moments into a journey tailored exclusively for you.

For over ten years, we have been organising bespoke trips to Southern and Eastern Africa. We experience Africa every day and personally select lodges, boutique hotels and resorts to offer you an authentic, elegant and unforgettable honeymoon.

Why choose Africa for your honeymoon?

A honeymoon in Africa is unlike any other experience.

You’ll be able to experience:

• A safari among the Big Five.
• Charming lodges surrounded by nature.
• Romantic dinners under the stars.
• Spectacular sunsets over the savannah.
• Wine tastings at South Africa’s finest vineyards.
• Exclusive excursions.
• Tropical beaches on the Indian Ocean.
• Luxury resorts overlooking the sea.
• Fully personalised experiences.

Every day will be different from the last and designed to offer you authentic experiences.

Every Honeymoon is Tailor-Made

No off-the-shelf packages. Just the trip you’ve always imagined.

This is the philosophy of South African Dream.

We do not offer standardised itineraries that are the same for everyone.

Every trip begins by listening to your wishes and is designed according to your departure date, budget and the experiences you wish to enjoy.

We can personalise:

• the duration of the trip;
• number of safaris;
• lodge and hotel category;
• type of accommodation;
• romantic experiences;
• destinations to combine;
• beach holidays;
• flights;
• travel pace.

The result will be an exclusive itinerary, tailored just for you.
