Behind it stands Honeymoon, a Swiss travel agency with video consultation that puts honeymoons together individually. With the planner, you state your wishes for two, and the discussion of the trip follows in the video call.

Why this trip
Johannesburg lies on the way to the great safaris: as a hub in the north of the country, the metropolis can well be used as the first or last stop of a safari honeymoon. From May to September is the dry season, the days are clear, the nights cool, and the routes to the game reserves remain easily passable. If you stay one to two days, you can learn a lot about South Africa's recent history in the Apartheid Museum. The Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden offers a quiet walk beneath rocks and waterfalls, and the Sterkfontein Caves are a short drive from the centre.
For overnight stays, the Saxon Hotel, Villas & Spa or the Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff come into question, both houses with plenty of garden and little hustle. From here you travel on to Sabi Sand, to Kruger National Park or to Hluhluwe. With a little preparation a trip comes about on which you look for lions in the morning and sit together on the veranda in the evening. Honeymoon sets the order of the stops together with you on a video call.
