Bush & Beach Honeymoon
Big Five Mornings, Indian Ocean Afternoons — Sabi Sand & the Islands of Mozambique
Overview
The classic honeymoon shape, perfected: thrilling Big Five mornings in the Sabi Sand, then a flight to the warm Indian Ocean where the islands of Mozambique wait — barefoot luxury, turquoise water and absolutely nowhere to be. You track leopards at dawn and toast the sunset from a dhow by the end of the same week.
Begin in the bush with private-pool suites and twice-daily drives, then trade the savanna for a beachfront villa on Benguerra Island. Snorkel coral reefs, picnic on a sandbank that appears at low tide, and let the days dissolve into nothing but each other.
Who It's For
For newlyweds who want the adrenaline of a real safari and the deep rest of a tropical island — the best of both, with private touches throughout and barefoot elegance on the coast.
