It’s hard to envisage a more romantic way to begin married life than a trip into the remarkable heartland of Africa. 

Experience the beating pulse of the nation, all within a luxury setting, with beautiful traditional hotels on the fringes of some of the country’s most vibrant and exciting cities, including the bustling capital Cape Town. Here, hotels like the Cape Grace offer award-winning on-site restaurants, modern spas and beautiful period-decorated rooms, all within a five-minute walk of the bars and restaurants in the city’s busy centre.

If you’d prefer to slow down the pace and enjoy some quiet time together, then unmitigated privacy abounds in the plains of the Serengeti and beyond. Spend days trekking through World Heritage Sites like Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater, home to the densest population of lions on earth, and evenings in camp, dining by candlelight under the cosmos, hundreds of miles from humanity.

For ultimate romance, we offer accommodation on the coral-fringed islands of Zanzibar and The Seychelles. Drift off to sleep with the sounds of the turquoise waters lapping the shore, and wake up ready to either snorkel with turtles or laze in palm-strewn hammocks, arm in arm. The decision is yours.
