Day to Day Experience
Day 1 − Day 3 | Duma Tau Camp, Linyanti Concession, Botswana
Upon arriving in Botswana, either Kasane or Maun Airport, you will be met by a charter representative. A 30 minute scenic flight will take you to the north of the country, to the Duma Tau Airstrip. Here your guide from Duma Tau Camp welcomes you and takes you to the camp, where you spend the next two nights.
Duma Tau Camp, meaning ‘roar of the lion,’ is located in the private Linyanti Wildlife Reserve that borders the western boundary of Chobe National Park. It is situated close to the source of the Savute Channel – which results in a plethora of wildlife on game drives along the Savute. The area is well known for its high elephant concentration and a haven for game. Situated in the midst of the hunting grounds of lion and the critically endangered wild dog, an unrivalled atmosphere of remoteness and space is created for the honeymooners.
Settle in, make yourself at home, and work with your guides to decide on all the activities you would like to try during your stay. From game drives, night drives, nature walks and viewing hides to motorboat and river barge trips as well as fishing, everything is on offer.
Duma Tau Camp is raised off the ground to take advantage of the fantastic river views. Each of the 10 en-suite tents is spacious, spreading out under a canvas roof, with clear-storey sliding doors and windows that allow for wide-angled views of the riverfront. These sweeping and dramatic views are nothing short of spectacular. At the main area is an airy, expansive dining room, where mouth-watering meals are served. The lounge area, the pub and the pool are all overlooking the lagoon and its denizens.

Day 3 – Day 6 | Savuti Camp, Savuti, Botswana
After breakfast you will be taken to the airstrip where your small aircraft is already waiting to take you to the northern end of Botswana and the Linyanti. This area enjoys the perfect safari position between the Moremi Game Reserve and the Chobe Enclave. Your guide from Savuti Camp is already waiting for you at the airstrip to take you to your destination for the next 3 nights.
The camp is beautifully placed and when you step through the door into your chalet, the allure of the following days will be obvious. A combination of canvas and thatch with a view towards the now flowing Savuti Channels will seduce you to relax and kick back. The draw of a safari however will stir you to leave your private love nest and participate in one of the activities on offer at the camp. There is the option for a classic game drive to view animals in their natural environment combined with a bush walk or a romantic Makoro ride on the crystal waters of the channels. Glide through this eco system and watch as herds of elephants silently cross your water path.
Relax at the swimming pool and enjoy the time together with an indulgent private dinner on the deck of your chalet. Appreciate the privacy and superb service offered accompanied by brilliant game sightings.

Day 6 − Day 8 | The Elephant Camp, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Catch a 40 minutes charter flight to Kasane and meet your driver, who will transfer you by road to the Kazungula Border. Clear customs and immigration and cross into Zimbabwe for the following two nights of your safari at The Elephant Camp.
Only recently opened, The Elephant Camp will be yet another highlight during your trip. Set apart from the bustle of Victoria Falls Town, this camp is elegant luxury in a wildlife environment. This camp offers a romantic setting and the sort of honeymoon extravagance that you dreamed of. Each tent is a very private suite with its own plunge pool and deck. Some of the tented suites have glimpses of the spray from the mighty Victoria Falls and other look across to a western sunset and the gorges beneath the falls
The Victoria Falls has an album of memories to offer the honeymoon couple, a romantic sunset cruise on the legendary Zambezi River, bungee jumping for the fearless, a dreamy Edwardian High Tea at the elegant Victoria Falls Hotel and of course, the Victoria Falls themselves. Your program during the 2 nights will be created uniquely for you and how much or how little you want to venture from your honeymoon hideaway.

Day 8 – Day 13 | Azura Benguerra Lodge, Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique
On the last morning in Victoria Falls you will be transferred to the Victoria Falls Airport to catch the inter-regional flight to Vilanculos. From there, you will be taking the helicopter to Benguerra Lodge. There will be plenty of time to relax at the Azura Benguerra Lodge for the next 5 nights.
Azura Benguerra can only be described as a magical experience. It is situated on an unspoilt island within a marine national park surrounded by deserted beaches of pure white sands, sparkling turquoise waters scattered with local dhows complete with sun filled days and star studded nights.
Enjoy the best beachfront location of your villa, which is equipped with en-suite bathroom, free form bath, indoor as well as outdoor showers and private infinity pool. There is a mini bar, a large private undercover deck, a garden sundeck, private dining facilities and beachside sala for you and your loved one to indulge in your quality time.
Relax at the pool or the spa of the main area or choose one of the numerous activities Benguerra Island has on offer: snorkelling, scuba diving and fishing, romantic Dhow sailing, beach picnics, bird watching, star gazing or trips to Pansy Island or Vilanculos
