Are you planning the honeymoon of your dreams? Imagine waking up to the sounds of nature, sipping coffee while giraffes graze and watching the sun dip behind the horizon as lions in the distance. If you’re looking for a honeymoon that combines adventure, luxury, and unforgettable romance, Thornybush offers the ultimate African safari honeymoon experience.
After the excitement of your big day, there’s no better place to unwind and connect as newlyweds than the untamed beauty of the African bushveld. From intimate candlelit dinners and surprise bush breakfasts to indulgent couples’ spa treatments, our dedicated team will ensure that your honeymoon is filled with personalised romantic touches, allowing you to simply relax and soak up this once-in-a-lifetime experience together.
Our bush spa is on hand to pamper you. From detoxing body treatments and deep-cleansing facials to relaxing wellness massages, it’s the perfect way to relax and unwind after your wedding.
Your safari honeymoon at Thornybush will be filled with magical moments from sunrise to sunset. Start your day with coffee before setting off on an open-air safari drive. This is the best time of the day for game viewing as the land is cool and just as some animals start to move around, you’ll see others returning to their dens or resting in the shade after a night on the hunt. With our expert guide-and-tracker teams, you’ll witness the Big Five and other incredible wildlife up close. Mid-drive, enjoy a coffee stop featuring our signature Amarula coffee and treats specially packed by our chef.
Return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast, followed by a leisurely day by the pool. Whether you want to catch up on sleep, indulge in spa treatments, or simply take in the peaceful surroundings, the choice is yours. After a light alfresco lunch, meet for tea before heading out on an afternoon game drive. As the sun begins to set, the landscape transforms into a photographer’s dream. Enjoy a refreshing G&T or a glass of fine South African wine as you share a special toast with an African sunset as your backdrop. Dine under the stars with the sounds of the wild to keep you company before heading to your suite.
Why not book a safari honeymoon photoshoot can also be arranged to capture these memorable moments together. This is not only fun but a keepsake forever. Visit one of our community projects and see how you as couple can make a difference whilst experiencing the local cultures. Or enjoy an immersive bushwalk with our highly trained guides and trackers and experience the thrill of being on foot and immerse yourself into nature at ground level and discover our birdlife, insects, trees and plants and gain an understanding of the powerful eco-system in the Greater Kruger Park. This is your special time together so you plan your day to be as busy or relaxed as you want it to be. We will ensure that it is unforgettable!
