They say it's the trip of a lifetime, so the pressure is really on when it comes to planning your honeymoon. Let us take the strain off your shoulders with a stunning thirteen-day itinerary for one of our best loved just-married combos - the wine and wildlife of South Africa with the wow of Mauritius.



Exploring Cape Town is the first port of call. Head up Table Mountain at sunset, explore the Cape Peninsula and even meet with a township charity to gain an insight into South African life. The Winelands are, of course, an important part of this adventure, so spend a few days in Franschhoek and Stellenbosch trying some of this region’s (and the world’s) most divine wines. Kicking back and relaxing will fill the final stint of this trip, with a stay in an Indian Ocean paradise in Mauritius. Soak up the sun on the beautiful white sand beaches or venture out to sea to go snorkelling or diving, nicely rounding off the perfect honeymoon.

Itinerary

100% customisable for you

Firstly, congratulations, secondly, happy honeymoon! After a long journey and all the wedding madness, you'll be glad to meet your transfer driver at arrivals and have someone else take the driving seat for a while. The drive into town from the airport can be less than half an hour so you'll be at your hotel and checked in before you know it. After all the wedding madness and a long journey from the UK we're willing to bet you just want to spend the rest of today taking it very easy. Perhaps start with a late lunch at The Grande Café and Beach on Granger Bay, where you can fill your weary bodies with delicious food and your first sips of South African wine in a beautiful beachfront setting. Afterwards, stretch your legs and walk off the food with a stroll along the beach and a paddle in the sea before getting a much deserved early night.

This morning marks your last day in Cape Town so say goodbye to the coast and after a last city style brunch hit the road. Your drive will take around an hour and a half and you'll be heading east towards the rural Winelands area. Enjoy the views along the way and once you arrive, spend the afternoon relaxing at the hotel and enjoying the lush views. For dinner, we recommend you try Babel restaurant at Babylonstoren, a charming farm and vineyard near Paarl. Housed in an old cow shed this progressive restaurant has a farm to fork philosophy which means everything on the menu is seasonal, fresh and utterly delicious. We particularly like the 'Red, Yellow or Green' salad options for their always surprising, always flavourful ingredients in your chosen colour.

Sadly your final day in South Africa has arrived but fortunately, it's far from the last of the honeymoon. Make the hour long drive back to Cape Town airport to drop the car off and check in for your flight to Mauritius. The flight time from there is just over five hours, and the transfer on the other side only an hour and fifteen minutes, so you'll arrive at your Indian Ocean paradise in time for dinner.
