Fabulous Destinations for a Honeymoon in South Africa

When you are considering a honeymoon in South Africa, you have a large number of choices. South Africa is a massive country - much larger than many people can conceive, and therefore offers a wide range of terrains, thousands upon thousands of villages, towns and cities and is adjacent to many other wonderful countries that also offer honeymoon vacation options way beyond what most other countries in the world can offer.

Here are just some of the choices that you will have if you decide to honeymoon in South Africa:

Plains and Mountains: South Africa honeymoon destinations can offer the veldts, plains and savannahs of Africa with the game and carnivores for which this great country is famous. However, you can also choose the mountains of the Drakensberg range if you prefer - the largest mountain range in Africa.

Lakes and Desert: South Africa sits at the edge of the Kalahari Desert, offering a fabulous view of the famous meerkats and the Botswana native culture and art. However, you can also enjoy exploring the hundreds of lakes and rivers the country has to offer. Many of these can be traveled with a guide who can explain the wildlife you are liable to encounter on your journey.

Villages and Cities: You can take in the beauty and craftsmanship of the villages you will come across when you travel in South Africa. Many villages and small towns offer home-crafted pottery, paintings, wood art and many other traditional Africans crafts. The cities can give you the retail therapy you will need while on honeymoon in South Africa, offering all of the great fashion houses and jewellery designers you can think of. South Africa is the home of diamond jewellery, and you won't find better anywhere else in the world.

Sports Fields and Tables: Whether your sport is played on a field or on a table (or elsewhere while on honeymoon) you will find it in South Africa. Home to the soccer and rugby World Cups, this great country also offers Sun City that is not only famous for its golf, but also its world-class night clubs and gaming tables that rival those even of Las Vegas.

Cabins and Hotels: your accommodation while on honeymoon in South Africa can be a basic cabin on the veldt or a 5-star hotel overlooking the fabulous beaches around any of South Africa's vast golden shores. No matter which you choose, you can be certain that you will be provided with the highest possible standard of service and that you will be 100% satisfied with your choice. May young people on honeymoon in South Africa love to spend several days roughing it while watching the big cats in their struggle for life. You can then finish off with a few days in the best hotel your money can buy.

South Africa knows how to do it - whether you are seeking a luxury honeymoon in the country or simply want to spend your time roughing it with a tent or minivan. You can enjoy a trek following the big cats, or if you feel like crossing the border to Zambia or Zimbabwe to see the Victoria Falls you will still get what you want and will be well cared for and kept safe while you do it.

This vast country has a great deal to offer whether you are honeymoon or not, although it is very important that, once you have decided to visit, then you make the most of it and don't return home wishing you had taken in the whale watching or had a close-up view of the elephants washing in their mud bath.

South Africa has a great deal to offer honeymoon couples of any age, and those options above are just a few available to you. You might also consider a trip into Botswana and enjoy a meerkat safari, check out a large river with a massive delta that just disappears into the desert or maybe you just simply love diving, surfing or sea fishing.

All of these are possible if you make the decision to honeymoon in South Africa. Then there is the food: no South Africa honeymoon could ever be complete without you trying out some of the traditional food here. No, you don't have to eat bugs or grubs - although you could enjoy some mopane caterpillars or meat stuffed in intestines. Some South African dishes are absolutely divine, particularly bobotie and banana mandazi.

If you don't know what these are, then make a point of booking up your honeymoon in South Africa and taking advantage of the fabulous hotels, food, entertainment and everything else that helps to make the second week of your honeymoon absolutely unforgettable. As for the first week - well, that is up to you!
