South Africa offers newly-weds the ‘wow factor’

Honeymooners can combine exciting safari experiences with relaxing days on the beach in South Africa, a travel expert has said.

Newly married couples looking for something special on their honeymoon should consider booking flights to South Africa, to enjoy a wide variety of activities.

This is the view of Jane Anderson, former travel editor of You & Your Wedding magazine and founder of 101honeymoons.co.uk, who noted that newly-weds are becoming “increasingly travel savvy”.

“The traditional two weeks on a foreign beach is on the decline. Honeymooners are becoming a lot more adventurous and incorporating anything from trekking to scuba diving,” she said.

Double-destination breaks are becoming particularly popular, Ms Anderson added, recommending South Africa and Mauritius as an ideal choice for a safari and beach experience.

Discerning couples looking for an exclusive experience on their South African honeymoon can choose dinner at Le Quartier Francais in the Cape Winelands, which was last month voted as the best restaurant in Africa and the Middle East.
