Whenever anyone asks my advice on where to go for their honeymoon, I consistently recommend one spot, South Africa.

The rainbow nation, as it’s often referred to, has it all. From vibrant cities and sexy beaches to untamed wilderness and rural beauty, a honeymoon in South Africa offers not only adventure, but bucket list experiences, which are best experienced with the one you hold dearest to you.

No matter what you are looking for, South Africa is an idyllic setting for a honeymoon. Experience sunrise in the bush, “Sundowners” (South Africa’s version of Happy Hour) in wine country, or go on a safari followed by a night at an over-the-top luxury lodge, there is no doubt that a trip to South Africa after a wedding is a memorable one.

The hard part is choosing where to go in South Africa for your honeymoon! So, to help you out, we’ve prepared the ultimate honeymoon itinerary for South Africa, so you can plan your dream trip as a newly married couple.

The Ultimate Honeymoon in South Africa Itinerary

South Africa is a huge and diverse country, so if you’re only able to allow a couple of weeks, I recommend spending the bulk of your honeymoon in and around Cape Town and the Eastern Cape, as well as including a trip to Kruger National Park for a safari.

Stop 1: Cape Town and The Cape Peninsula

Cape Town is one of the South Africa’s most beautiful cities. It’s unique because although it’s a major metropolitan city, it’s also overflowing with natural beauty and wildlife.

Where else in the world can you see mountains and beaches right next to each other? Not many places spring to mind.

I recommend you spend at least three days in Cape Town, taking in the stunning landscapes in and around Table Mountain National Park, and spend some time visiting the museums and attractions.

I highly recommend taking a cooking class together in Bo-Kaap (famous for all the rainbow-colored buildings). Do a class with Faldela Tolker, who invites you into her home and teaches you not just how to cook, but also about the country’s history.

Hike to the top of Table Mountain and admire the sweeping views (or take a cable car to save time and energy), or hike the easier Lion’s Head hike for incredible views of Camps Bay and the Atlantic Seaboard.
