Botswana HoneymoonsIf your honeymoon dream is one of an authentic safari in exclusive, luxurious accommodation, then Botswana is your country. Safaris here are superb quality, although you pay accordingly. From extraordinary colonial hotels with palatial suites to tiny, five-bed luxury tented camps; there is something for every taste.
Botswana has numerous remote and pristine wilderness locations where romantic lodges are tucked away in private reserves away from the crowds. The best of these take great care of honeymooners, with spectacular surprises and treats. Between May and October (when many couples choose to get married) Botwana is hot, dry, low in humidity and fantastic for game. Botswana is virtually on the same latitude as the United Kingdom and therefore benefits from there being no jet lag.
Botswana is land-locked and for the beach section many honeymooners fly down to Johannesburg to connect with a flight to elsewhere in Southern Africa (Mauritius, southern Mozambique) or up to East Africa to Zanzibar. Alternatively, if relaxing without being at the beach is in order then some of the lovely lodges around Victoria Falls provide a wonderful, relaxing environment in which to unwind Statistically we send fewer honeymooners to Botswana than say Tanzania which is a reflection of the higher prices and much higher internal flight costs
True Romance in Botswana
Jao is one of Africa’s most famous camps. Built high up into the trees the design of Jao truly takes your breath away; the rooms are absolutely beautiful, with vast beds, lounges and outside double ‘sala’ beds.
Little Vumbura is gorgeous little camp set on an island and well off the beaten track. This classic Wilderness Safaris camp is a favourite of ours and we have a big soft spot for using it over its big sister, Vumbura Plains. Little Vumbura only has 6 rooms whereas Vumbura Plains is made up of two, nine room camps.
With private plunge pools, four poster beds and some the best dining in the country, Kings Pool sets the standard for Botswana’s Premier Camps.
