    A word from one of our experts

    A honeymoon safari is an excellent choice for couples who love adventure, animals and nature. Beyond classic destinations like the Kruger or the Maasai Mara, I also highly recommend safaris in the Pantanal, northern Australia or the Galápagos Islands.

    When to go on a honeymoon safari

    The best time for an Africa honeymoon safari is during the dry season: around May or June to October in most of the top safari destinations. That said, green season safaris can also be wonderful if you prefer smaller crowds and don’t mind some rain, or are interested in luxury birdwatching safaris.

    The best months for safaris in Central and South America depend entirely on your destination. For instance, we usually recommend visiting the Pantanal from July to October, and Costa Rica from December to April. Some places, like the Galápagos, offer fantastic safaris all year round.

    We suggest speaking with one of our expert travel designers to find out the best times to visit specific safari destinations based on what you want to see and do.
