1: Love Above the City - The Silo Hotel, Cape Town

Your journey begins high above the V&A Waterfront at The Silo Hotel, an architectural marvel perched atop the Zeitz MOCAA. Here, modern design meets timeless views — Table Mountain stands sentinel over the city, and sunsets turn the harbor gold.

Throughout your stay in Cape Town, you’ll have a private local guide dedicated entirely to you — someone who tailors each day to your interests and pace. Whether it’s exploring Cape Point’s dramatic cliffs, sipping wines in Constantia, uncovering the city’s vibrant art and design scene, or enjoying a seaside picnic beneath the Twelve Apostles, every experience is curated just for you.

As night falls, return to your glass-walled suite, suspended between sky and sea. From rooftop cocktails to starlit dinners, Cape Town becomes the opening chapter of your love story — filled with discovery, laughter, and luxury.

2: Romance in the Winelands - La Residence, Franschhoek

From the buzz of the city, your honeymoon flows into the peaceful elegance of La Residence in Franschhoek. Nestled among vineyards and framed by mountain silhouettes, this luxurious estate feels like a dream woven from wine and sunshine.

Your private guide continues with you into the Winelands, ensuring every day unfolds effortlessly - from private tastings at boutique vineyards to scenic drives through the valley, leisurely bike rides between farms, or a picnic in the shade of ancient oaks. Each moment is designed around what you love most.

As evening falls, indulge in a candlelit dinner overlooking the vines, a glass of Cape vintage in hand, as the valley glows in golden twilight.

3: Into the Wild - Singita Ebony Lodge, Sabi Sands

From the Winelands, fly directly into the heart of the African bush - where Singita Ebony Lodge awaits, deep in the legendary Sabi Sands. Here, nature reigns supreme, and luxury coexists with raw wilderness.

Wake to the distant roar of lions and the rustle of elephants by the river. Your private plunge pool overlooks the Sand River, and your guide leads you on twice-daily game drives where big cats roam free. Between adventures, share spa treatments, sunset drinks beneath ancient trees, and candlelit dinners under starlit skies.

4: Island Serenity - Benguerra Island, Mozambique

To close your African honeymoon, trade the rhythm of the bush for the gentle lull of the ocean. A short flight delivers you to Benguerra Island, part of Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago - a paradise of turquoise waters, coral reefs, and white-sand seclusion.

Here, barefoot luxury defines your days. Snorkel among vibrant reefs, sail on a traditional dhow as the sun sinks into the sea, and enjoy picnics on deserted sandbars. Each night, drift off to the sound of waves brushing the shore - your love story now part of Africa’s timeless rhythm.

The Journey of a Lifetime

From Cape Town’s glittering skyline to the stillness of the savanna and the whispering waves of the Indian Ocean, this Southern African honeymoon is more than a journey - it’s a story you’ll tell for the rest of your lives.

Each destination reveals a new facet of love - sophisticated, wild, and endlessly serene. Africa, after all, has always been a place that makes you feel something deeper - and perhaps nowhere more so than here.
