My trusty Honeymoon Friday sidekicks were out of the office this week (my guess is on a fabulous vacation!), so I had free reign on today’s travel post. And let me tell you, it was hard! There are so many options, so I headed over to The Knot for some help. There I found their Top 4 African honeymoon destinations, and I knew I had found my inspiration! So here are the best locations when you’re looking for something a little more exotic and a little more interesting.
It’s a little hard to get to (sometimes you have to take three or four flights), but the views and beaches are worth the trip! Island-hopping is a must.
2) Mauritius
I remember learning about the island of Mauritius in my middle school French class and making a mental note to go there one day. It has a rich culture and is a melting pot of different nationalities.
3) South Africa
South Africa has a nice mix of water activities, wildlife and nature excursions, and city nightlife. There is a ton to do, and it’s easier to get to than the other small islands off the coast of Africa.
Marrakech is perfect for history buffs and adventure enthusiasts. You can tour palaces and shop local markets like the Place Djemaa el-Fna. It’s an outdoor nighttime market with all sorts of out-there vendors: jugglers, acrobats, monkey tamers, healers, fortune tellers, fire eaters, food vendors, magicians, etc. The word “bazaar” comes to mind immediately, and I would absolutely LOVE to get to this place one day!
If you’re wary of booking honeymoons to such exotic locations on your own and dealing with everything that comes with it, let LT Travel Connection know! They have the inside scoop on international travel.
Let me know what locations you want me to delve into next! Where are you thinking of going on your honeymoon? I never get tired of looking for cool hotels and off-the-beaten-path locations.
