For wildlife enthusiasts, a Southern Africa safari<\/a> is often about encountering all members of the mighty Big 5 (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion and rhino). In the private concessions that make up this iconic destination, there are endless opportunities to see big \u2013 and small \u2013 game, along with endangered species like African wild dogs and hundreds of beautiful bird species by game drive, boat or even hot air balloon.<\/p>\n

Botswana is well-known for its luxury honeymoon safaris. A particularly romantic setup for a night is the \u2018skybed\u2019, where you fall asleep together on a raised platform under the stars and wake up to the sunrise and bird song of the bush at dawn. Then, all the creature comforts and special extras at a well-appointed camp or lodge will complete your unforgettable Okavango Delta safari.<\/p>\n

South Africa makes a great addition to a Botswana safari. You can either choose to enjoy more of the bush safari experience or head straight to the coast for a bit of seaside relaxation. Cape Town offers the \u2018city break\u2019 option, while the surrounding coastlines are great for spending some quality time together in seclusion.<\/p>\n
