The Swahili word ‘safari’ means long journey. You’re getting married… can you see what we’re getting at here?
Start your long (and very happy) journey into wedlock with a long journey of a different kind, on a luxury safari honeymoon. The safari has got to be one of the great travel adventures; it is nature in its rawest and most beautiful form and also an extremely romantic experience. Let's paint you a safari honeymoon picture; you've spent the day viewing some of the most incredible wildlife on the planet and now you're enjoying a candlelit supper beneath the stars overlooking a stunning landscape. Pretty dreamy, you'll agree. If you're heading away for two weeks or more then a safari combines perfectly with some beach and relaxation time, and we've got plenty of ideas up our sleeves when it comes to bush and beach combos.
Whether you're in search of the big five in Africa, elephant trekking in Thailand or riding in the hills of Andalucia, you're guaranteed to have the time of your life on a safari honeymoon.
