PLanning an African Safari Honeymoon
The below are a list of things you should consider when planning your African Safari Honeymoon:
– Ask about activities and meal times at the safari location. It is important to ask about the schedule so that you can make sure that you will not be missing out on any events or experiences. On most honeymoon safaris, there is a limit of how many guests can be on the safari. If you would like to have an intimate safari for just you and your spouse, then you may want to choose a safari that allows you to have the number of guests that you would like with you.
– Ask about the availability of an activity guide or someone who will help you plan your honeymoon safari. Most safari operators will only allow you to bring a certain number of guests with you.
– Make sure that you are comfortable with the activities that are offered as part of your honeymoon safari package. Some operators offer activities such as cooking classes or spa treatments.
– Consider what type of lodging you would like to stay at on your honeymoon safari. Many lodges offer a choice between rooms with shared bathrooms and rooms with private bathrooms.
