THE STOP-BY-STOP GUIDE TO OUR HONEYMOON JOURNEY IN AFRICA 🇹🇿 🇰🇪 🇸🇨 When we first started talking about where we wanted to honeymoon, it felt overwhelming. We had a million ideas to sift through and felt a lot of pressure to get it just right. I've got to say I think we nailed it with this trip. It has all the elements you could want in a honeymoon - luxury, solitude, adventure, relaxation, romance, and memories to last a lifetime. On this itinerary, you’ll sample some of the most iconic places in East Africa where you’ll get up close with big cats, the Great Migration, and other favorite African wildlife. The camps suggested here are perfect for a honeymoon. The staff blew us away with their warmth, attention to detail, and expertise. The food and accommodations were as good, but likely better, than anywhere we’ve stayed in the world, and we got to enjoy it all in relative solitude (all camps had 10 rooms or less). After the time on Safari, you’ll head to one of the most picturesque tropical destinations in the world, the Seychelles. The beaches here are famous - as movie backdrops, screensavers, & more - and there are dozens of beauties to explore. The resort we chose was villa-style, equipped with an unbelievable tub and private plunge pool, meaning we got to have a slice of this paradise to ourselves as well. I know I’m biased, but if you’re planning a big romantic trip, whether for a honeymoon, a milestone anniversary, or whatever reason, you have to consider this itinerary. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer.
