Here is how to put them together, with the options our honeymoon couples choose most. Cape Town Spend at least three nights in Cape Town. Take the cable car up Table Mountain for the view over the city and the Atlantic, and spend a day on the Cape Peninsula: Chapman's Peak, the Cape of Good Hope and the penguins at Boulders Beach. A private tour lets you take the day at your own pace; our private Cape Peninsula tour costs from $130 per person. For an evening to remember, our private sunset cruise for two leaves the V&A Waterfront with bubbly and a 3-course dinner on board. The Winelands The Cape Winelands are about 45 minutes from Cape Town. Stellenbosch has oak-lined streets and old Cape Dutch buildings; Franschhoek, in its narrow valley, is known for its restaurants. Couples often spend a night at a wine estate rather than returning to the city. Our private Winelands tour costs from $115 per person, or try the e-bike wine tour in Franschhoek. A safari For the Big Five and a luxury lodge, most couples fly from Cape Town to the Kruger area. The private reserves next to Kruger National Park, such as the Sabi Sand and Timbavati, have small lodges with game drives twice a day, bush walks and dinners under the stars. Our 3-night packages include: Kirkman's Kamp in the Sabi Sand, from $4,550 per person Ngala Safari Lodge in the Timbavati, from $3,100 Phinda Mountain Lodge in KwaZulu-Natal, from $3,050 Prices are all-inclusive at the lodge; flights or road transfers are extra. A beach to finish Many couples end with a few days on the beach in Mozambique or Zanzibar. See our Benguerra Island and Mnemba Island packages. Complete honeymoon trips If you would rather have it all arranged, see our 15-day Cape Town, Garden Route and Kruger honeymoon or our Cape Town, Kruger and Victoria Falls honeymoon.

Cape Town is best from November to March, when it is warm and dry. The Kruger area is best for game viewing from May to September, in its dry winter. The shoulder months (April and May, September to November) work well for both. How much does a South Africa honeymoon cost? It depends mainly on the safari lodge. A week combining Cape Town and a mid-range safari costs much less than one with three nights at a top Sabi Sand lodge. Our 3-night lodge packages start from about $3,050 per person, and a full 15-day honeymoon from $6,670. Can we change the itinerary? Yes. Tell us your dates, budget and what matters most to you, and we will plan the trip around it. --- [Read on Amity Adventure](https://www.amityadventure.com/blogs/south-africa-honeymoon-tour-ideas/)
