The word “Honeymoon” comes from the Old English word for honey, and was intended to evoke images of the indefinite period of tenderness and pleasure experienced by a newly wed couple. Where better to celebrate your love than in Africa? As Hemingway said, “If I have ever seen magic, it is in Africa”.
“Speak to us, we’d like to get to know you and create something magical and unique for your special time together”.

Manyoni Private Game Reserve, KwaZulu Natal.
Moving away from the coast, your next stop could be the Rhino Sands Safari Camp- a five-star tented luxury safari destination designed to bring an authentic safari experience in traditional East African style to Kwa-Zulu Natal. Here you will see lions, rhinos, elephants, cheetahs, wild dogs and much more. The lodge grounds sprawl through an area of thick riverine vegetation, rich with bird and animal life, and filled with magnificent fig and fever trees.
“At Rhino Sands, we embrace the idea of a bespoke safari experience. While the daily rhythm revolves around game drives and meal times, each day is set to be a little bit different than the one before. With a maximum of only eight guests in camp at any time, your stay is guaranteed to be a personal and exclusive experience.”
