Our Recommended Fine Honeymooner Hotels in
Johannesburg, Mpumulanga and Sabi Sands
Aptly known as "Paradise Country", few regions in the world can match the extraordinary beauty of the lowveld and escarpment. Mountains, panoramic passes, valleys, rivers, waterfalls and forests characterise the landscape. This is also Big Game Country, the setting for dozens of sanctuaries teeming with wildlife and birds. Among them is the Kruger National Park which is South Africa's prime safari destination. The park is the size of Wales and if you are travelling here, we highly recommend the private concessions of the Sabi Sands Game Reserve which forms part of the Kruger National Park's ecosystem, to the south. There are a number of luxurious safari lodges at which you will have the opportunity to see fantastic game including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo).
The entire area offers exceptional opportunities for bird-watching, hiking, horse-riding and fishing. Streams once panned for gold have become the haunts of eager anglers and lazy trout.
Steeped in the history of pioneers, hunters and fortune seekers, fascinating gold rush towns abound. Barberton and Pilgrim's Rest are among the most famous. A special, additional dimension occurs in the Middleveld region which is inhabited by Ndebele people, notable for their traditional costumes and attractively decorated houses.
Please note that we only offer Johannesburg as an overnight stop for flight connections.
