Africa is a magical and diverse destination. Imagine: wide-open savannahs, serene coastlines, majestic mountains, and lush riverine forests. It’s no wonder this continent is becoming the ultimate spot for a unique and romantic honeymoon!
Planning a wedding is a challenging task, so your honeymoon should be all about unwinding and exploring. Why not treat yourselves to a once-in-a-lifetime safari adventure in the charming heart of East Africa? For the ultimate relaxation, you can easily add a few days at a stunning tropical beach resort afterward.
To ensure your luxurious safari honeymoon is pure perfection, here are our 3 essential tips to follow:
1. Budget smartly for true luxury
A luxury safari is an investment in unforgettable memories, and it’s important to budget accordingly! High-end, exclusive lodges can easily cost over $1,000 per night. Mid-range but excellent experiences typically range from $300 to $500 per night.
What’s usually included? Most luxury lodges cover your accommodation, three meals a day, and two thrilling game drives.
What are the extras? Don’t forget to budget for:
-
Spa treatments and massages.
-
Hot air balloon rides (a must-do!).
-
Alcoholic beverages.
-
Crucially: Tips for the wonderful staff (guides, trackers, and camp crew).

2. Look beyond the game drive
While seeing the “Big Five” on a game drive is the heart of any safari, many camps offer incredible activities to enrich your experience between drives. You’re on your honeymoon, so make the most of your stunning surroundings! Beyond the standard swimming pool and spa, be sure to research unique adventures like:
-
Bush breakfasts: Enjoying a delicious meal under an acacia tree.
-
Walking safaris: Exploring the smaller details of the bush on foot.
-
Hot air balloon rides: Watching the sunrise and wildlife from above (absolutely unmissable!).
Plan for any optional activities you wish to indulge in to ensure they are booked and ready for your romantic escape.

3. Keep the adventure fresh (Change your scenery!)
If you are flying halfway around the world for this once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, you want every day to feel exciting. Many safari camps follow a similar routine, and staying in one spot for too long (say, more than 3-4 days) can sometimes make the experience feel repetitive.
The solution: Break up your time! Move camps; after a few days, switch to a lodge in a different part of the park or a completely new reserve. This change of scenery, wildlife, and lodge style ensures every new morning is a fresh adventure.
Let’s Go Travel tip: A fantastic way to break up two safari segments is to inject a bit of different excitement! Spend some time exploring a vibrant city like Nairobi or relaxing at a luxurious beach resort along the breathtaking Kenyan coast.
