3 Tips for planning your luxurious safari honeymoon

Planning a wedding is no easy feat, so why not spend your honeymoon unwinding and exploring? Africa is a beautiful and diverse land of open savannahs, serene coastlines, and majestic mountains, making it the perfect destination for a unique and luxurious honeymoon experience.

A safari adventure in East Africa is truly once-in-a-lifetime. For the ultimate relaxation, you can easily add a tropical beach holiday to your trip to escape and relax in paradise! If you are considering a safari honeymoon, you want to make sure it is planned well in advance so that you can relax and enjoy the incredible adventure.

Here are 3 essential tips to follow for a perfectly luxurious safari honeymoon:

  1. Put aside enough money and budget smartly

A luxury safari honeymoon is an investment in unforgettable memories, and it is important to budget accordingly! High-end lodges can cost over $1,000 a night, while excellent mid-range experiences are generally $300–$500 per night. What is usually included? Most luxury lodges cover your accommodation, three meals a day, and two thrilling game drives. Don’t forget the extras: Budget for activities like spa treatments, hot air balloon rides, alcoholic beverages, and, crucially, tips for your wonderful guides and camp staff.

  1. Embrace the extras: look beyond game drives

While game drives are the focus of any safari, many luxury camps also offer several activities to keep you busy and make the honeymoon extra special. Make sure to do your research and plan for optional activities that add unique adventures to your trip. These might include:

  • Enjoying a delicious bush breakfast set up in the wilderness.
  • Exploring the smaller details of the bush on foot.
  • Watching the sunrise and wildlife from above in a hot air balloon, a truly unmissable romantic activity.
4 Reasons why you must go on a hot air balloon safari
  1. Keep things exciting by changing your scenery

If you are flying halfway around the world for your honeymoon safari, you want every day to feel thrilling. Because many camps follow a routine, staying in one spot for too long can sometimes feel repetitive. The Solution: Break up your time! If you are planning a longer safari, consider moving to another park or even a different camp after three or four days. This change in scenery ensures that every new day of your African adventure is exciting. Let’s Go Travel Safari Tip: Alternatively, you can break up your two safaris with some time in a vibrant city, such as Nairobi, or with a few days relaxing at a beautiful beach resort along the Kenyan coast.
