TL;DR: We offer seven tailor-made African safari honeymoon packages, each with published pricing at three tiers. They run from the Victoria Falls & Chobe Honeymoon (7 days, from $5,500pp) and the Cape, Vines & Big Five Honeymoon (9 days, from $6,800pp) up to the Grand African Honeymoon (14 days, four countries, from $16,500pp and $38,500pp ultra-luxury). Every trip is private, romantic touches are built in rather than bolted on, and the Luxury / Premium / Ultra-Luxury tiers let you match the journey to your budget. Below are all seven packages, a full price-and-tier table, what shapes the price, and how to choose.
Start planning a safari honeymoon and you quickly notice a pattern. The trip of your dreams is described in loving detail — leopards at dawn, champagne on a private deck, a plunge pool the size of a small sea — and then, where the price should be, there is a form. Enquire now. Speak to a specialist. The number stays hidden until you have handed over your email and half an hour of your evening.
We do it differently. Every one of our African safari honeymoon packages carries a real, published price, at three clearly defined tiers, so you can see exactly what your honeymoon costs before you speak to anyone. There are seven packages in all, spanning the great honeymoon regions of the continent — Cape Town and the Winelands, the leopard country of the Sabi Sand, the Masai Mara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, the Okavango Delta, Victoria Falls and the islands of Mozambique — and each one is private and tailor-made from the first night to the last.
This is the complete guide to those packages: every trip laid out by price, tier and style, a plain explanation of what makes one honeymoon cost more than another, and the romantic touches we fold into all of them as standard. Prices are per person sharing and cover the safari itself; you choose the tier, we tailor the detail, and the two of you simply arrive.

Victoria Falls & Chobe Honeymoon — from $5,500pp (7 days, Zimbabwe & Botswana)

Masai Mara Balloon Honeymoon — from $6,800pp (7 days, Kenya)

Serengeti & Ngorongoro Honeymoon — from $7,500pp (8 days, Tanzania)
The great plains. The Great Migration across endless grassland and the lost-world Ngorongoro Crater, with a dawn balloon and dinners beneath a sky thick with stars. Tanzania's wild heart, shaped for two. See the full Serengeti & Ngorongoro Honeymoon itinerary →
Bush & Beach Honeymoon — from $8,500pp (10 days, South Africa & Mozambique)
Best of both worlds. Big Five mornings in the Sabi Sand, then barefoot island days on Benguerra — a castaway picnic, a sunset dhow, coral reefs and a beach spa. The most-loved honeymoon shape there is, done at a five-star standard. See the full Bush & Beach Honeymoon itinerary →
Okavango Delta Romance — from $9,500pp (7 days, Botswana)

Safari Honeymoon Packages by Price & Tier
This is the table the brochures never show you. Every package appears with its price at all three tiers, per person sharing, so you can see not only which honeymoon suits you but exactly what stepping up to Premium or Ultra-Luxury adds.
| Package | Days | Luxury | Premium | Ultra-Luxury |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Victoria Falls & Chobe | 7 | $5,500 | $8,500 | $13,500 |
| Cape, Vines & Big Five | 9 | $6,800 | $11,500 | $19,500 |

All prices are per person sharing and cover accommodation, listed meals, internal flights, game drives, activities and the honeymoon touches; international flights, visas, insurance and premium drinks are extra. If value is your first concern, our affordable safari honeymoon packages guide focuses on the lowest-price options, and the African safari honeymoon cost guide breaks the numbers down further.
What the Three Tiers Mean
Every package is offered at three levels. The wildlife, the route and the romance are the same at each; what changes is the style of camp, how private your safari is, and how you travel between stops.
| Tier | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Luxury | Five-star lodges and camps throughout, scheduled flights, shared game drives with expert guides | Couples who want a genuine luxury honeymoon at the best possible price |
| Premium | Flagship suites, a private game vehicle in the bush, private transfers and spa credits | Those who want privacy on drives and standout rooms without going all the way |
| Ultra-Luxury | Top suites and villas, a private guide and vehicle throughout, helicopter and private-air transfers, exclusive experiences | A no-compromise, once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon |
What Shapes the Price of a Safari Honeymoon Package
Two honeymoons to the same country can differ by many thousands of pounds. Knowing the levers lets you put your money where the romance is and hold it back where it does not matter to you.
| What drives the price | Pushes it up | Brings it down |
|---|---|---|
| Season | Peak dry season and festive weeks | Shoulder and green season — often 20–40% less |
| Country | Botswana and private-concession Tanzania | Zimbabwe, Kenya and South Africa |
| Tier & drives | Ultra-luxury suites, private vehicle and guide | Luxury tier with shared scheduled drives |
| Getting around | Fly-in camps and helicopter transfers | Scenic road transfers and scheduled flights |
| Trip length | Long multi-country journeys | Focused 6–8 night trips |
| Add-ons | Beach finales, gorilla trekking, private dining | A single region, done beautifully |
The Honeymoon Touches Built Into Every Package
The difference between a safari and a safari honeymoon is in the details, and we build ours in rather than selling them as extras. Across every package and every tier you can expect:
- Champagne or sparkling wine on arrival, and a note that says the lodge knows exactly why you are there.
- At least one private dinner for two — a candlelit boma under the stars, a cellar table in the Winelands, or a castaway picnic on a sandbank that rises from the sea.
- Private-pool or plunge-pool suites wherever the itinerary allows, with outdoor showers and turndown rituals chosen for couples.
- A couples' spa treatment built into the rhythm of the trip, usually between the morning and afternoon game drives.
- Romantic set-pieces that suit the place — a sunset cruise on the Zambezi, a dawn balloon over the Mara, a mokoro glide through the Delta, a dhow at sunset off Mozambique.
- Honeymoon perks we ask for on your behalf — room upgrades, complimentary nights and spa credits that many camps offer newlyweds but rarely advertise.

When to Travel — and When to Book
Timing shapes both the wildlife and the price. The dry-season peak — roughly June to October across much of Southern and East Africa — gives the easiest game viewing but the highest rates and the busiest camps. The shoulder months either side, and the green season of the southern summer, bring softer prices, thinner crowds and gloriously green landscapes, with wildlife still excellent in most reserves. For the Great Migration in the Serengeti and Mara, the calendar matters more still.
On booking: the best honeymoon suites are small in number and go early, so we suggest securing a package eight to twelve months ahead, especially for peak-season travel or a specific lodge. That said, we regularly build beautiful honeymoons at shorter notice — the key is flexibility on camp or dates. Our full when to go on a honeymoon safari guide walks through the calendar country by country.
How to Choose Your Package
Start with what the two of you most want to feel. If it is the classic Africa of Big Five game drives and sweeping views, the Cape, Vines & Big Five or the Masai Mara Balloon are the natural picks. If it is drama and value, Victoria Falls & Chobe is hard to beat. For the Great Migration, look to the Serengeti & Ngorongoro; for pure water and privacy, the Okavango; for the ever-popular safari-and-beach combination, the Bush & Beach; and for the trip of a lifetime, the Grand African Honeymoon.
Then choose your tier to fit your budget, and leave the rest to us. Every package is a starting point, not a fixed menu: we can lengthen or shorten it, swap in a malaria-free reserve, add gorilla trekking or a Cape Town opener, or blend two trips into one. To compare countries first, our honeymoon safari destinations guide is the place to start.
The Verdict: A Real Price, and a Honeymoon Built Around You
An African safari honeymoon is one of the most romantic journeys on earth, and it should not take an enquiry form and a sales call to find out what it costs. Our seven packages span every budget from a focused seven-night escape at $5,500 per person to a two-week, four-country odyssey, each priced openly at three tiers and each entirely tailor-made once you choose it.
Pick the journey that speaks to you, choose the tier that fits your budget, and we will shape every night around the two of you — the champagne, the private dinners, the plunge-pool suites and the moment you watch your first African sunset together.
