It depends on your destination! For tropical island honeymoons like Mauritius and Seychelles, May to October is dry and pleasant. South Africa honeymoons are great year-round but best between March and May or September and November for fewer crowds.
International flights and airport transfers are included in most packages. We’ll help with car hire, shuttles, or drivers where needed.
Not always! Mauritius, Maldives, Thailand, and many African destinations offer visa-free or visa-on-arrival for SA passport holders. We’ll check for you.
