For a truly unforgettable honeymoon getaway, escape to Botswana - a wonderfully rugged wilderness of dusty deserts, sandy savannahs and lunar-like saltpans. Not to be missed on your Botswana honeymoons is an authentic African safari adventure. Nestle into a luxurious lodge with your other half and spend your days out in the bush with a knowledgeable guide - tracking animals, embarking on thrilling 4x4 safaris and meandering down rivers in a mokoro (traditional dug-out canoe). Other places well worth a visit with your one and only include the Kalahari - the most species-rich desert in the world - and the colossal Switzerland-sized Makgadikgadi Pans, that you can venture out on a quad biking safari. Wherever you decide to go, rest assured that our Africa specialists will tailor-make a honeymoon adventure that will tick all the boxes.

Botswana Honeymoons Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

What are the best options for a Botswana honeymoon?


A hugely popular honeymoon haunt for Original Travel over the last few years, the camps of the Okavango Delta are some of the most romantic in Africa. Botswana is home to some of Africa's finest - and most wildly expensive - lodges, so be prepared to dip deep into your pocket for many of them. We also know, however, the hidden gems which enjoy a similar location but with a few fewer noughts on the price tag.

Finally, there's something particularly romantic about seeing big game from a mokoro canoe, guided silently through the channels of the delta by an expert guide. After a few days in the bush, the beaches of Mozambique and Mauritius are easily accessible via Johannesburg in neighbouring South Africa. For a less conventional 'beach' combo, consider a few days in the heart of the stunning and suitably sandy Kalahari Desert at Jack's Camp.
