South Africa Honeymoon Packages

Ideally, a honeymoon must be a time to calm down and relax after a stressful week of events and celebrations. It is also the best time to reflect before getting into normal routines and how to approach their marriage. Honeymoons are especially important in cultures with arranged marriages as they allow couples to understand each other before adjusting to the pressures of marital life. At GT Holidays, we specialize in creating honeymoon packages that are just right for you.

With over 11 official languages and people from various cultural and ethnic groups living harmoniously, South Africa truly lives up to its sobriquet, Rainbow Nation. The country has an equally diverse landscape, ranging from beaches and mountains to rolling grasslands and Mediterranean weather. It has over 10 UNESCO-designated World Heritage Sites, including Mapungubwe Cultural Landscape, Richtersveld Cultural and Botanical Landscape, and Robben Island.

The country has a moderate climate with mild winters and warm summers. The country’s long coastline influences its climate – while regions around Cape Peninsula have pleasant winters and clear-sky summers, places like Mpumalanga receive rain all year.

South Africa is a beautiful country, both manmade and natural. The country is home to the Big Five and hundreds of other endangered animals like the African wild dog and the pangolin. Where else, but in Africa, can you view whales from a shore and elephants grazing? The plant kingdom is equally varied, with over 158 species endemic to South Africa. Table Mountain is one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

South Africans are warm, friendly, and very kind. Don’t be surprised if you receive invitations to share a meal from complete strangers. Unlike some cultures where people are outwardly polite, South Africans are genuinely friendly but straightforward and likely to point out when you are wrong to your face.

Cape Town is a beautiful city and the adventure capital of the country. The stunning mountain ranges and ocean vistas allow plenty of activities for everyone.

It was developed during the 1970s by businessman Sol Kerzner. With our South Africa honeymoon packages, guests can access the Valley of the Waves, the country’s most advanced water park.

Durban is a laidback town famous for its lovely beaches, cosmopolitan culture, world-class aquarium, and scrumptious food.

When in Durban, you mustn’t miss the bunny chow – a quarter loaf of bread that’s hollowed and filled with a curry of your choice. The braai, or traditional African barbecue, is equally popular.

The Kruger National Park was established in 1926 and is one of the largest game reserves in Africa.
