Where love meets wilderness
Choosing Wilderness for your honeymoon safari is your first step into a wild world of luxury and exclusivity in some of Africa's most untamed and pristine regions.
A Wilderness safari honeymoon is filled with extraordinary moments tailored for two. Glide along waterways on a mokoro (dugout canoe), where you can enjoy the peace and beauty of the Delta at eye-level.
Take to the skies in a hot air balloon or on a helicopter safari, high over the vast landscape as the sun rises on the horizon. Enjoy a sunset boat cruise in Botswana’s Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, toasting to your love with elephants snorkelling or feeding nearby.
Get your thrills in the Kunene dunes on an adrenaline-pumping guided quad bike excursion, or go e-biking over the Sossusvlei desert landscape in Namibia. For a deeper connection to the land, set out on a guided walking safari in Hwange, where together you experience the mysteries of the bush up close, learning about its hidden wonders.
Wilderness lodges are designed to provide the ultimate escape. Set deep within pristine private reserves, each camp offers a sense of intimacy, where it’s just you, your loved one, and the beauty of Africa. What are some of the highlights of a honeymoon safari with Wilderness?

Choosing a safari in one of Wilderness' private concessions – designated traversing areas within a national park, or just outside it – offers unparalleled exclusivity and a personalised experience… exactly what you want on a honeymoon.
One of the primary benefits of travelling with Wilderness is the limit on the number of people allowed in our areas. For example, our Vumbura Concession – where Vumbura Plains and Little Vumbura are found – is limited to no more than 40 guests on its 56,000 hectares of land (that’s 130,000 acres, which is bigger than the Hamptons at 55,000 hectares, or 136,000 acres) and equates to 1,300 hectares for each visitor. Combine this with the opportunity to book a private vehicle and you are likely to encounter more rare wildlife and sightings of lions than you are to pass fellow travellers.
Additionally, our private concessions allow activities that may not be permitted in the public areas of national parks. Think of night drives, where you can spot nocturnal predators, guided walking safaris, tracking animals on foot and discovering the smaller wonders of the bush, as well as judicious off-road game viewing, ensuring you get closer to wildlife sightings without being necessarily restricted to official roadways.

"Nelson our travel agent put together the perfect honeymoon in Tanzania - which included a combination of safari and Zanzibar beach holiday. Communication and planning in the run up went well, he quickly understood what we were looking for and provided a clear, comprehensive quote, meeting all our desires for the trip. The trip itself went seamlessly and we enjoyed every stay and experience we had planned - even more than we could have imagined".

"My best friend and I planned our first Safari with Wilderness and we could not have had a better experience. From the first discussions about our trip to the final day in Zimbabwe, we experienced first class service and hospitality. Malcolm our agent helped us pick camps that suited our particular interests. He provided guidance with what to expect on the trip and what to bring which was great for novices. When we finally arrived in Zimbabwe every driver, guide, and staff member we met was outstanding. The game we saw each day was amazing and the lodgings were very comfortable. I have no complaints, just praises for this organization. I have recommended the group to many friends and family members and I look forward to booking travel with them again".

"We had an amazing stay at Chitabe end of March 2023 (2 nights). The wildlife density in the area is incredible - we had multiple leopard, cheetah and lion sightings and also saw a large pack of wild dogs. Our guide Phinley was very experienced and had a ton of knowledge - he did a fantastic job. The vegetation / landscape in the area is also great and very varied - from the open floodplains around camp, to the Gomoti plains area to the slightly more wooded areas (where we also had great sightings). Chitabe camp itself is also very beautiful, with a pretty pool and bar area and extremely attentive, warm camp staff. We felt very welcomed and everyone made sure that all expectations were exceeded".
