If you\u2019ve been dreaming of a safari honeymoon to Africa, Botswana<\/a> has probably popped up on your radar already. From expansive, sandy deserts to deltas brimming with life, the landscapes are iconic and stunningly beautiful, and on a lucky day, the chances of spotting all the top predators are high. Add to that a phenomenal roster of activities<\/a>, from quad biking to mokoro trips, game drives to hot air balloon flights, as well as a selection of drool-worthy lodges, and you\u2019ve got a honeymoon that\u2019s worth splashing out on. Most of the best Botswana honeymoons include some time in the iconic Okavango Delta<\/a>, but there are other off-the-beaten-track spots worth discovering too. Read on for some tips on how to combine them \u2013 and what we consider to be the best Botswana honeymoons out there\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Botswana<\/a><\/p>\n

The classic<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re kicking off this list with our classic Botswana honeymoon<\/a>, and unlike the name suggests, there\u2019s nothing ordinary about it. This safari is a great place to start if you\u2019d like to experience the best bits of Botswana<\/a> – and will certainly set the tone for married life! You\u2019ll fly straight into the heart of where the wild things are, the Okavango Delta<\/a>, and game drive to your heart\u2019s content. In Linyanti<\/a>, you\u2019ll float silently down the glassy waterways, watching wildlife from a traditional mokoro<\/a>, and in Chobe<\/a>, it\u2019s all about spotting elephants in the wild<\/a>. The trip ends at Victoria Falls<\/a>, where of course the mighty \u2018smoke that thunders\u2019 takes pride of place \u2013 but take time to nibble on afternoon tea delights, cruise down the Zambezi<\/a>, and soak up the vibrant sunsets too.<\/p>\n

\"Botswana<\/a><\/p>\n

Top spots to stay<\/strong><\/p>\n

Botswana<\/a> is home to Africa\u2019s finest lodges, but there are also a few hidden gems that are definitely worth noticing. Blow the budget with a combination of Mombo<\/a> and Jao<\/a> – two of the Okavango Delta\u2019s<\/a> most iconic camps, they are both wildly luxurious and utterly fabulous – or save some pennies with Shinde<\/a> and Kanana<\/a>, cheaper but no less wonderful in many ways. Lodges in Chobe<\/a> and Linyanti<\/a> generally have fewer noughts on the price tag and somewhere like Muchenje Safari Lodge<\/a> or Linyanti Bush Camp<\/a> will appeal to honeymooners looking for a bit of peace and quiet but without forfeiting incredible game viewing.<\/p>\n

Bush and beach<\/h2>\n

It might be a land-locked country, but who\u2019s to say you can\u2019t add a little beach to your bush<\/a> on a Botswana<\/a> honeymoon? The eye-poppingly beautiful Indian Ocean coastline is only a short flight away from Maun (via Johannesburg), and options for a spot of beach-lounging and cocktail-sipping can include anything from Mozambique<\/a> to Mauritius<\/a>. In this trip, we\u2019ve settled on the Seychelles<\/a>, a group of white-hot, island atolls with plenty of swishy accommodation to choose from. Combined with wildlife watching in the Okavango Delta<\/a>, big cat chasing<\/a> in the Linyanti <\/a>and a quick stop for some adrenalin-filled activities<\/a> at Victoria Falls<\/a> (or, indeed, some time to just put your feet up in a dreamy location), we don\u2019t think you\u2019ll be disappointed.<\/p>\n

\"Botswana<\/a><\/p>\n

Top spots to stay<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to authentic safaris with a touch of style, Kwando Safaris are always near the top of our list, and Lagoon Camp<\/a> in the Linyanti<\/a> and Kwara<\/a> in the Delta<\/a> are an ideal combination. Sandwich your safaris with a couple of nights at the Royal Chundu River Lodge<\/a> at Vic Falls<\/a> (where everyone is treated like royalty) and Constance Lemuria<\/a> in the Seychelles<\/a> for intoxicating sunsets and romance by the bucket-load.<\/p>\n

\"Botswana<\/a><\/p>\n

Something different<\/h2>\n

With its abundant wildlife and bejewelled landscapes, there\u2019s no denying that Botswana<\/a> puts plenty of ticks in the most iconic of safari boxes. But what about doing something a little different on your Botswana honeymoon? What if you could swap a 4×4 for a quad bike, open the throttle, and hurtle across the lunar-like Makgadikgadi Salt Pans<\/a> to the ends of the earth (almost)? Perhaps a helicopter flight, high above the creatures of the Okavango Delta<\/a>, or floating down the remotest of waterways in a dug-out mokoro in the Linyanti sounds as if it would be up your street? This adventurous trip<\/a> combines all of the above and it\u2019s not just the activities that will keep you on your toes \u2013 we\u2019ve got cheeky meerkats, elusive brown hyena and desert-adapted lion for you to spot too.<\/p>\n

\"Botswana<\/a><\/p>\n

Top spots to stay<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Makgadikgadi<\/a>, San Camp<\/a> has romance written all over it, from the dazzling white tents to the pretty-as-a-picture afternoon teas, served overlooking the salt pans, and the iconic Jack\u2019s Camp <\/a>will certainly get your trip started on the right foot. Baines Camp<\/a> in the Delta<\/a> has a list of activities as long as our arm (heli flights, visits to the elephant sanctuary and walking safaris to name a few), and in the Linyanti<\/a>, we\u2019d probably head to Ebony Camp<\/a> for spectacular mokoro and boating trips along the meandering waterways.<\/p>\n

The highlights<\/h2>\n

Despite popular belief, you don\u2019t have to spend several weeks in Africa to make the most of the sights and sounds. This short but (very) sweet honeymoon<\/a> to Botswana<\/a> and Zimbabwe<\/a> will whizz you through two of southern Africa\u2019s most iconic areas, the Okavango Delta<\/a> and Victoria Falls<\/a>, and make sure you come away with memories to tell the grandkids, even if you don\u2019t have a great deal of time to spare. In the Delta, it\u2019s all about bucket list experiences and this watery wonderland delivers them in spades, from mammal-filled game drives to mokoro safaris<\/a> and even a hot air balloon flight if you so desire. Then, at Victoria Falls<\/a>, it\u2019s time to take a moment and marvel at one of the world\u2019s most incredible natural phenomena<\/a>\u2026 What a way to end a Botswana honeymoon!<\/p>\n

\"Botswana<\/a><\/p>\n

Where should I stay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Staying in two different areas of the Okavango Delta<\/a> will allow you to experience a greater spread of activities, habitats and, hopefully, wildlife. We rather like Mapula Lodge<\/a> in the northern reaches for hot air ballooning, heli flights and tip top water-based game viewing. Combine it with somewhere like Tuludi<\/a>, where game drives and walking safaris in Khwai Private Reserve are guaranteed to knock your binos off, and think about adding a night under the stars in the unique Skybeds<\/a> too\u2026<\/p>\n

Delve into the culture<\/h2>\n

Botswana<\/a> is nothing if not varied. Not far from the Okavango Delta<\/a> is the lunar-like, arid expanse of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans<\/a> and the Kalahari Desert<\/a>, so mind-bendingly different from the juicy landscapes of the Delta it\u2019s hard to believe they are in the same country. It\u2019s in these sandy lands, seemingly devoid of life, that the ancient San Bushmen<\/a> live and this Botswana honeymoon<\/a> allows you to delve into their fascinating lifestyle. It\u2019s not simply a glimpse here, or a snatched hour there either; you\u2019ll join the Bushmen whilst they hunt, make weapons and cook, and walk with them through the thirsty desert, learning the tricks of their trade. Having a hard time persuading your other half to visit Botswana and not see the animals? We\u2019ve added a couple of days in the Delta<\/a> at the end to satisfy the most ardent of wildlife-lovers.<\/p>\n

\"Botswana<\/a><\/p>\n

Where should I stay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Central Kalahari<\/a>, Kalahari Plains<\/a> is famous for showcasing Bushmen culture, as is Jack\u2019s Camp<\/a> in the Makgadikgadi<\/a>. At Jack\u2019s, the Bushmen family have evolved with the camp and you\u2019ll be welcome as a long-standing friend. These areas are remote and the accommodation doesn\u2019t come cheap, but Meno a Kwena<\/a> (owned by the same company as Jack\u2019s) is a wonderfully quirky option that offers a similar experience on the edge of the Makgadikgadi. In the Delta<\/a>, there are more lodges than you can shake a stick at, but somewhere like Pom Pom<\/a> will deliver wildlife in spades.<\/p>\n

Bucket list ticks<\/h2>\n

The last Botswana<\/a> honeymoon on our list is the King of them all. We\u2019ve already mentioned the vast and untouched Kalahari<\/a>, the Okavango Delta<\/a> and its blockbuster of activities and wildlife, and Chobe<\/a> with its mighty river and accompanying herds of ellies \u2013 and this trip<\/a> rolls them all into one, action-filled package. It\u2019s a honeymoon for those that want to see and experience a little bit of everything and what you do is (within reason!) up to you. The Kalahari might be famous for black-maned lion<\/a> and large numbers of cheetah, but maybe you\u2019d rather embark on a walking safari with the Bushmen<\/a> and discover the many uses of a scorpion? In the Delta<\/a>, perhaps you\u2019d like to forgo a traditional lodge and sleep in a mobile camp on a faraway island? And at Victoria Falls<\/a>, who says you have to stay on land to admire the waterfall, with white-water rafting<\/a>, micro-light flights<\/a> and bungee jumps to take advantage of. Well, we did say \u2018bucket list\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Botswana<\/a><\/p>\n

Where should I stay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For maximum flexibility, choosing the right accommodation is paramount. In the Kalahari<\/a>, again we love\u00a0Kalahari Plains<\/a> for its combination of wildlife and culture-focused activities (and alfresco sleeping platforms) and in the Delta<\/a>, the mobile nature of the Uncharted Expedition Camp<\/a> allows you to plan your days as you like. Continue the mobile theme in Chobe Under Canvas<\/a> and fall asleep to ellies snuffling outside your tent and at Victoria Falls<\/a>, we couldn\u2019t think of a more honeymoon-appropriate lodge than Tongabezi.<\/a><\/p>\n
