Romance can be costly without proper planning and research.

So, you just got married. You and your new spouse are looking for a budget-friendly honeymoon experience. However, finding affordable safari activities to suit your budget is challenging and takes the joy away from your new matrimony.

You are not alone. With bookings and travelling likely to take up most of your budget, it’s only logical you cut costs on your honeymoon activities. As a result, we have compiled a list of safari activities you can enjoy without breaking the bank.

A South African Dinner Under the Stars

South Africa is renowned for its exquisite landscapes, and what could be more romantic than enjoying a delicious dinner under a canopy of stars? Many safari lodges offer this experience, but if you want a budget-friendly alternative, consider opting for a tented camp. Imagine stargazing with your loved one under a million stars – a truly unforgettable honeymoon memory.

Consider Buddymoons: Share the Cost with Your Friends

A buddymoon is a honeymoon where you travel with friends. It can be a fun way to celebrate your marriage with loved ones, enjoy group discounts, and share the costs. However, it’s imperative to choose carefully.

• Pick the right people: Select a small group of friends you both enjoy spending time with. You can choose mutual friends or a few friends from each side. This way, your honeymoon won’t feel like your spouse is just tagging along on a separate friend trip.
• Plan for quality couple time: Remember, this is still your honeymoon! Don’t forget to schedule some quality time alone as a newly married couple to cherish your time together.

Couples Spa Treatment Escapes

Many safari lodges offer affordable spa experiences that cater to couples. As a commitment to eco-friendly practices, these treatments often incorporate local and organic ingredients and techniques, providing a unique way to experience the culture and pamper yourself while saving the planet. These affordable spa treatments allow you to reconnect with your partner and embrace the tranquillity of the African bush, all without breaking the bank.

Self-Drive Safaris

Consider renting a 4X4 car and embarking on a self-drive safari. Unlike traditional safaris, you have complete flexibility to create your itinerary, stop and linger at wildlife sightings for as long as you like, and enjoy the freedom of the open road. Self-drive safaris are a fantastic option for budget-conscious travellers.
