Romance can be costly without proper planning and research.

So, you just got married. You and your new spouse are looking for a budget-friendly honeymoon experience. However, finding affordable safari activities to suit your budget is challenging and takes the joy away from your new matrimony.

You are not alone. With bookings and travelling likely to take up most of your budget, it’s only logical you cut costs on your honeymoon activities. As a result, we have compiled a list of safari activities you can enjoy without breaking the bank.

A South African Dinner Under the Stars

South Africa is renowned for its exquisite landscapes, and what could be more romantic than enjoying a delicious dinner under a canopy of stars? Many safari lodges offer this experience, but if you want a budget-friendly alternative, consider opting for a tented camp. Imagine stargazing with your loved one under a million stars – a truly unforgettable honeymoon memory.

Consider Buddymoons: Share the Cost with Your Friends

A buddymoon is a honeymoon where you travel with friends. It can be a fun way to celebrate your marriage with loved ones, enjoy group discounts, and share the costs. However, it’s imperative to choose carefully.

• Pick the right people: Select a small group of friends you both enjoy spending time with. You can choose mutual friends or a few friends from each side. This way, your honeymoon won’t feel like your spouse is just tagging along on a separate friend trip.
• Plan for quality couple time: Remember, this is still your honeymoon! Don’t forget to schedule some quality time alone as a newly married couple to cherish your time together.
