A Hand Crafted Journey
Your journey can be a pulse-quickening adventure or an indulgent, relaxing getaway – or a little bit of both. We have designed hundreds of romantic honeymoon safaris in some Africa’s pristine wilderness regions, stunning beaches, cosmopolitan cities and tropical islands (or a heady combination of these).
Maybe you picture exploring the misty forests of Uganda or Rwanda, where you can experience the undeniable thrill of seeing gorillas in their natural habitat. Or perhaps you’d like to roll across the golden, windswept savannahs of Kenya or Tanzania in search of the Big Five. It could be that you’d like to spend your time relaxing on the pristine sands of Mauritius, Mozambique or the Seychelles, or enjoy world-class cuisine in Cape Town and the surrounding Winelands. We’ll work with you to make your vision come to life, and perhaps offer some suggestions you hadn’t thought were possible.
Of course, no matter where you go in Africa, the sublime moments are seemingly endless. Sipping gourmet coffee on the private deck of your luxury safari tent, while watching elephants playfully splashing in the river. Soaring over the impossibly wide savannah in a hot air balloon, as the rising sun glazes the tawny grasses below. Unwinding in your vintage claw-footed tub, a view of the sunset over the Zambezi River with a chilled glass of champagne in hand. Telling tales of the day’s adventures by the fire and falling asleep in a four-poster bed with a view of a breathtaking blanket of stars.
