Honeymoon Travel Destinations 

Set within a 10-000 hectare private game reserve in the Western Cape, couples can enjoy a luxury safari experience while being close to Cape Town. It’s easy to combine the excitement of the city with once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experiences.

Unlike traditional hotels, a safari honeymoon creates shared experiences that become lifelong memories. Watching elephants walk past your safari vehicle, taking photos, hearing lions roar in the distance or simply enjoying the silence beneath a sky full of stars, creates moments that are difficult to replicate anywhere else.

Being close to Cape Town also makes Aquila especially attractive for international visitors. Rather than choosing between a city honeymoon or a safari honeymoon, couples can enjoy both.

Spend several days discovering Cape Town’s beaches, restaurants and attractions before escaping to the tranquillity of the reserve.. The contrast between these destinations is what makes Cape Town the perfect honeymoon destination.

Many couples underestimate how quickly one night passes, a two-night stay allows couples the time to enjoy multiple game drives, spa treatments and the reserve’s facilities at a relaxed pace.

Combine Cape Town with a safari for a diverse honeymoon, discover Cape Town’s beaches, mountains, wine farms, nightlife and experience unforgettable wildlife encounters in one trip.

Don’t plan your trip down to the hour. One of the greatest luxuries of a honeymoon is having time to slow down and enjoy each other’s company.

Experiences such as spa treatments, quad bike and horseback safaris often have limited availability. Booking ahead helps secure your activity.

Mornings can be quite cool, even during warmer months. Pack light layers, comfortable shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen and a camera.

Many first-time safari visitors worry about seeing every animal and experiencing every activity. Instead, focus on the overall experience and enjoy every wildlife encounter.

For adventure-seeking couples, a guided quad bike safari adds excitement to your honeymoon. Explore the reserve and enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding landscape and wildlife on 4 wheels.

Experience the reserve from a unique perspective on a guided horseback safari. Riding through the reserve offers a peaceful way to appreciate the scenery and wildlife while creating unforgettable memories together.

Spend quality time together with a relaxing couples’ massage at the reserve’s Tranquila Spa. After your treatment, make the most of the spa’s heated indoor pool, sauna and steam room for the ultimate honeymoon indulgence.

Combine your stay at Aquila with a few days exploring Cape Town’s beaches, restaurants and iconic attractions, or continue your journey through the Cape Winelands or along the scenic coastline.

Travelling between Cape Town and Aquila is simple, allowing international visitors to include a luxury safari without complicated travel arrangements. Whether you prefer a shared shuttle or a private transfer, transport can be arranged directly from Cape Town.

Shared return transport offers a convenient and cost-effective option for couples staying in Cape Town before their safari. Guests are collected from designated pick-up points in the city and transported comfortably to the reserve before returning after their stay. It is an ideal choice for travellers looking for a hassle-free journey without hiring a vehicle.

Private transfers provide additional flexibility, comfort and privacy for honeymoon couples. Enjoy direct collection from your hotel, accommodation or airport, travel at your own pace and arrive at the reserve in comfort. Private transport is particularly popular with international visitors looking for a seamless experience from start to finish.

Your honeymoon is your first adventure together as a married couple. It is filled with new experiences and memories that will last a lifetime.

For many, experiencing a Big 5 safari is an iconic part of the African adventure. Picture yourself up close with some of Africa’s wildlife as they roam freely across vast, open plains

Returning to the tranquility of nature is the secret to wellness and rejuvenation. It’s an incredible experience, surrounding oneself with the beauty of South Africa’s wilderness.
