From its awe-inspiring safari options where you can spot the Big Five before returning to your luxury tented camps, to the winelands and beaches of the Cape where it’s cool to hang out in the chic bars and restaurants of Camps Bay, South Africa is a cornucopia of honeymoon opportunities.
March is the perfect time to visit with average temperatures of 26C in Cape Town with low rainfall. South Africa is no stranger to celebrities with Tiger Woods popping the question to his now wife, Elin Nordegren on a safari jaunt and then recently diving with sharks off the south-east coast. Elton John apparently booked the whole of the Royal Malewane at Sabi Sands Game Reserve that borders the sprawling Kruger National Park for a week-long holiday.
Entrepreneur Richard Branson likes the country so much, he created Ulusaba, a stunning safari camp in the Sabi Sands. Janet Jackson, Kenny Kravitz and Jay Kay are also all firm fans. For the ultimate back-to-nature experience, book a honeymoon or wedding ceremony at the Ngala Tented Safari Camp which comprises six tents on the banks of the Timbavati River in the Kruger National Park.
