Easy

Celebrate your honeymoon with thrilling Big Five safaris at Shamwari Reserve and barefoot luxury at Azura Benguerra, complete with a scenic helicopter transfer over Mozambique’s turquoise waters.

The Safari & Island Romance – 8 Nights Honeymoon Escape blends untamed adventure with intimate island indulgence. Begin at Shamwari Game Reserve, flying in style from Johannesburg on the Shamwari Air Shuttle. Here, you’ll enjoy private game drives, candlelit boma dinners, and couples spa treatments, surrounded by Africa’s Big Five. Each day brings new discoveries — from conservation walks to champagne sundowners in the bush — all designed to create unforgettable shared moments.

After four nights of safari magic, return to Johannesburg and connect to Vilanculos, Mozambique. A 15‑minute scenic helicopter flight sweeps you across turquoise waters to Azura Benguerra Island Resort, where your beachfront villa and private pool await. Days are filled with snorkeling in the Bazaruto Marine Reserve, dhow cruises at sunset, and romantic beach picnics on deserted islands. This seamless journey combines wilderness and ocean bliss, offering honeymooners the perfect balance of adventure, privacy, and romance.
