The jumping off point for this trip is Johannesburg, where you can truly "land" in a mundane setting before embarking on the trip of a lifetime.
Adventurous Namibia
A short flight to Windhoek in Namibia, a short drive...and suddenly you find yourself in the middle of the African bush where wildlife roams freely. By rental car, you will travel to impressive highlights in a unique country full of desert landscapes and wildlife parks. The variety is enormous: alienating lunar landscapes, immense sand dunes of all shades of color, endless plains and salt pans, rock formations and dry riverbeds. The city of Swakopmund is a remarkable contrast to the rugged nature. Neat roads, a shopping mall, a tea house where you can have "Kaffee und Kuchen. The coastal area is desolate, the sea can be rough. A striking landscape where nature has a powerful face.
In the game reserves of Etosha National Park and Onguma Game Reserve, a variety of animals can usually be found around the waterholes, but just as exciting is to search for lions, giraffes, elephants and rhinos while driving. Each day's adventure ends at a beautiful location. Amid savannah and bushland, you will stay in luxury lodges and "tented camps," surrounded by the sounds of nature: noisy guinea fowl, "barking" baboons, and the roar of a lion that pierces through the marrow. Here you can enjoy local culinary specialties under an unparalleled starry sky. Where the world can't find you...
Romantic beach stay Mozambique
Wash off the dust of your Namibian adventure, and look forward to downright blissful days at an elegant resort on Benguerra Island in Mozambique. The small-scale ecolodge is set between tropical palm forest and paradise beach on the azure Indian Ocean. Truly a prime location to end your honeymoon in a relaxed and romantic way. Days to go out, but certainly also to relax by the pool, walk on the beach and let the many impressions of this wonderful trip sink in together. You will take the memories of your honeymoon with you for the rest of your life.
