Now imagine telling them all about the time you went to Zimbabwe<\/a> after your wedding \u2013 on safari in search of the Big Five, bungee jumping at Victoria Falls<\/a>, boat cruising on the Zambezi River\u2026They\u2019ll be mesmerised! The only problem is that the sheer choice of destinations within Zimbabwe can feel a tad overwhelming. Which is where we come in \u2013 read on for our top Zimbabwe honeymoons.<\/p>\n

Elephant in Hwange National Park<\/p><\/div>\n

A classic<\/h2>\n

First up is the country\u2019s most iconic attraction, Victoria Falls<\/a>. Get your adrenaline going with a bungee jump, take a bird\u2019s eye view during a heli flip, or admire the thundering roar of the water on a romantic \u2018lunar rainbow\u2019 tour during the full moon. Swoon! Then you\u2019re off to spend some time amongst Hwange\u2019<\/a>s gentle giants – the National Park is renowned for its large herds of elephant (and there are plenty of predators, too). The next few days will offer a varied itinerary in scenic Matusadona<\/a>, filled with canoe safaris on Lake Kariba, rhino trekking and traditional game drives. Definitely one for the memory books we\u2019d say. And don\u2019t forget to pack your walking shoes \u2013 your grand honeymoon finale will be in Mana Pools<\/a>, which offers some of the best walking safaris on the continent.<\/p>\n

Victoria Falls River Lodge, Victoria Falls<\/p><\/div>\n

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

For a ridiculously romantic spot near Vic Falls<\/a>, book yourselves into an Island Treehouse Suite at Victoria Falls River Lodge<\/a> \u2013 think contemporary design, butler service and bathtub with river views and you get the picture! In Hwange<\/a>, Somalisa Camp<\/a> is amongst our top choices. This beautifully renovated camp is tucked away in a camelthorn acacia island on the edge of an ancient watercourse \u2013 you\u2019ll see plenty of game from all parts of the lodge, including your copper-style bathtub. The romance continues at Bumi Hills Safari Lodge<\/a> on Lake Kariba<\/a> \u2013 treat yourselves to a couple\u2019s treatment in the beautiful spa, then set sail for a romantic sunset cruise on the lake. End your honeymoon on a high with a stay at Nyamatusi Camp<\/a> in Mana Pools<\/a>. Set on the edge of a crook of the Zambezi and featuring just six (very elegant) tents, the lodge\u2019s intimate setting means that you\u2019ll be thoroughly spoiled \u2013 and you may end up sharing your plunge pool with an elephant or two!<\/p>\n

Game Drives in Gonarezhou National Park<\/p><\/div>\n

Falls, Bush and Beach<\/h2>\n

\u201cBush and Beach\u2019 is an incredibly popular combination for newlyweds \u2013 and one that\u2019s perfectly achievable on a Zimbabwe<\/a> honeymoon (despite Zim being land-locked!), as the tropical Mozambican<\/a> island of Benguerra <\/a>is but a skip and a hop away. And as with most Zimbabwe trips, your adventure will kick off in Victoria Falls<\/a> (where ziplining, sunset cruises and starlit dinners are all part and parcel) – so our Zimbabwe in Style<\/a> itinerary offers a unique \u2018Falls, Bush and Beach\u2019 combo. After the excitement of Vic Falls you\u2019ll head on to safari hotspot Hwange National Park<\/a>, famous for its large herds of elephant, and wilderness gem Gonarezhou<\/a>, a rugged and untouched wilderness on the border to Mozambique, before your flight to the picture-perfect beaches of Benguerra.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Singita Pamushana, Gonarezhou National Park<\/p><\/div>\n

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

Victoria Falls Island Lodge<\/a> offers the perfect retreat for loved up couples. The lodge\u2019s Treehouse Suites, all set on the private Kandahar Island, come complete with private decking and plunge pool and are connected by a raised winding walkway \u2013 with the hum of the Falls in the distance. For a small, intimate accommodation in Hwange<\/a>, the unpretentious Little Makalolo Camp<\/a> gets a big thumbs-up from us. An abundance of wildlife, expertly led walks and nightcaps around the open fire all make for a wonderful safari experience. The glamour factor will be turned up a notch in Gonarezhou<\/a>, where staff at Singita Pamushana<\/a> will spoil you rotten (exclusive wine tastings anyone?) But you won\u2019t exactly be slumming it on Benguerra Island<\/a> either if you decide to stay at Azura Benguerra<\/a> \u2013 set right on a powdery white beach, this is barefoot luxury at its best, all romantic dhow cruises, sand dunes picnics and dinner with your toes in the sand.<\/p>\n
