6 Questions About Botswana Honeymoon Safaris
Is Botswana recommended for a honeymoon safari?
“Botswana is absolutely recommended for a honeymoon safari. Botswana’s safari industry works on a high-quality/low-impact model. This means that you’re in for a very private, immaculately planned experience. Perfect for a honeymoon. Visitor volumes are deliberately kept low in Botswana, so every adventure and wildlife encounter feels unique and special. You won’t be queueing to catch a glimpse of a predator or to get to the breakfast buffet. This sets the scene for an idyllic bush escape. With a lot of planning leading up to the big day, a wedding can be quite a stressful event. A honeymoon should be the time to focus on each other in a peaceful setting. Being in nature will feel like a breath of fresh air. It’s easy to find romance in the African bush. Think of drinking a cup of coffee with the chorus of birds at dawn, or watching a herd of elephant drinking at a waterhole. Perhaps sharing sundowner drinks on a hilltop overlooking the savannah plains, or sitting around a campfire at night, then snuggling up under canvas while listening to a hyena whooping in the distance. It’s these kinds of occasions that will make a Botswana honeymoon safari unforgettable.”
1How many days are ideal for a Botswana honeymoon?
“Although there is no ideal length for a honeymoon safari in Botswana, I think you should be away for at least 10 days. Longer is obviously better. If you’re traveling from afar, you’ll want to make the long journey worthwhile. And a honeymoon is a special kind of holiday, so you won’t want to rush it. If you are planning to spend the full duration of your holiday on safari, I would recommend you choose a 10- to 14-day itinerary. That is a very nice amount of time to really immerse yourself in the safari vibe. You’ll have plenty of time to see the highlights without moving around too quickly. If you intend to add another component to your tour, for instance time on the beach or in Cape Town, I would say five to seven days would be a reasonable length for a Botswana safari. However long you choose to stay in Botswana, the main thing to keep in mind is to try to not cram too much into your schedule. Rather spend quality time in a few locations.”
2Which romantic places do you recommend?
“Botswana is filled with romantic places, and you can’t go wrong with a honeymoon safari here. Wherever you go, you’ll find serenity and raw beauty in remote wilderness areas, some of which we recommend below. The Okavango is perfect for honeymoon safari tours. Gliding in a mokoro (wooden dugout canoe) through the wondrous waterways of the Delta is a unique experience. There is no shortage of wildlife either. Chobe National Park is another great destination for honeymooning couples. A boat trip on the Chobe River is guaranteed to get you up close to drinking elephants, and they might even cross the river in front of you. It’s a short hop from Chobe to visit Victoria Falls (Vic Falls), whether you stay in Zambia or Zimbabwe, or on a private island in the middle of the Zambezi River, between the two. Seeing Vic Falls for the first time is mind-blowing, and if you weren’t married already, this would be an enchanting place for a proposal! For something different, Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, one of the largest salt pans in the world, offers a hauntingly stark landscape. It’s the perfect setting for Africa’s second-largest migration of wildebeest and zebra, but without the crowds. The truth is, wherever you go in Botswana, you’ll have the opportunity to stay in some of the most captivating lodges in Africa. Whether you want to indulge in unadulterated luxury or you’d like to stay close to nature in a rustic ecolodge, Botswana does it all with flair and personable service.”
3Can we extend our trip with some time on the beach?
“A honeymoon safari in Botswana is easily extended and paired with a beach holiday. The country itself is landlocked, but most visitors to Botswana come through Johannesburg, the main air hub for southern Africa. Idyllic island beach destinations such as Mauritius, and Seychelles are only a short flight from Johannesburg. These islands specialize in romantic honeymoons. You might be spoiled with a dinner on the beach under the stars, a surprise massage for two, or perhaps a champagne sundowner cruise. The white sandy beaches and turquoise waters will offer a dream setting for relaxation after your busy safari schedule.”
4Are there special honeymoon safari packages available in Botswana?
“Many highly rated operators offer honeymoon safari packages to Botswana. Botswana ticks all the boxes for an intimate holiday. When organizing your honeymoon safari, your operator will choose the most appropriate destinations and lodges in consultation with your wishes. Some lodges might have a dedicated honeymoon suite offering some special touches, such as a bathtub outside, a sunset view or a lounging spot between the trees where you can relax together. The lodges are usually informed about your happy occasion and the staff will go out of their way to make your stay memorable. You can expect them to have a few surprises up their sleeves. Just go with the flow. There are many activities that can be incorporated into your honeymoon. These are the kinds of things that will make memories you will carry with you for the rest of your lives. Imagine gliding over the Okavango Delta wetlands on a balloon safari, walking through the desert with San Bushmen or quad biking over Makgadikgadi Pans for the ultimate adrenaline rush. This should be the trip where all your dreams come true.”
5Will we get enough alone-time on a honeymoon safari?
“As long as you don’t cram too much into your itinerary, there will be plenty of time to spend together without a guide or other guests during your Botswana honeymoon safari. A honeymoon is all about spending precious time together and making memories with the person you’ll spend the rest of your life with. I would recommend booking a private safari as opposed to a group safari for your honeymoon. There is usually some flexibility on a private safari as your guide won’t need to juggle the needs and preferences of different clients, only you. Even on a private safari, you’ll probably have some shared activities such as boat cruises and game drives. Keep in mind that you can always skip a game drive and opt for a leisurely morning at the lodge. The staff might even be happy to serve breakfast on your private patio. Some lodges are located at a waterhole, and an afternoon spent in the lodge might also be a nice alternative to a drive. Just communicate with your guide when you want to take some time to relax and your schedule will be organized accordingly.”
