The wilderness of African safari and the secluded vibe of several luxury safari lodges offer a romantic retreat that simply can’t be found anywhere else in the world. The uniqueness of the sub-Sahara from its magnificent landscapes to its endemic wildlife, make it second to none for honeymoons, anniversaries or couples simply looking to get away from it all.

Arguably the world’s most unique continent, Africa is famous for its expansive plains, rich in fascinating wildlife, many of which are endemic to the continent. Thrilling safari adventures are why most travellers visit Africa, yet some of the sub-Sahara's best kept secrets lay at its edges, where picturesque coastal towns and the glistening clear waters of the Indian Ocean showcase a complete change of scenery to grasslands and striking desert sand dunes... the perfect complement to any safari adventure.

Lay directly under the stars with the sounds of lions roaring in the distance, go on an exhilarating night safari to witness heart-racing predatory action by night, take an intimate sunset cruise along some of the continent’s most picturesque rivers or indulge in luxury tented or treehouse stays situated on remote corners of some of Africa’s greatest reserves and parks. With rare experiences like these, you’ll forget there’s anyone in the world but you and your special someone.

Safari adventures themselves vary from country to country, each promising a front row seat to some of nature's most spectacular sights. Encounter the Big Five in an open jeep drive across one of South Africa’s popular game reserves, spot rare mountain gorillas during a walking safari in Rwanda or witness the Great Migration in action, which occurs from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya. For those looking to experience safari with a twist, Botswana is renowned for stunning river safaris which offer the best vantage points for spotting wildlife.
