The Rolls-Royce of Honeymoons: Ultra-Luxurious Safari and Beach Tour

Whether it’s a Manhattan you want or good old Sex on the Beach, Cape Town is a cocktail of sights and sounds that will leave you gagging for more. Luxury apartments and boutique hotels, glamorous sidewalk cafes and a feast of restaurants, bars and late-night venues are all part of the city's vibrant gay culture.

Consistently voted the best city in Africa and one of the world’s favourite, Cape Town is a modern city with beaches, mountains, parks, and elegant winelands in its backyard. It's no surprise then that it’s the gay capital of Africa.

If you're looking for an ultra-luxurious, exclusive Big 5 safari experience, Sabi Sand is the place to be. Sharing an unfenced border with the safari mecca, Kruger National Park, you get VIP access to all of the animals but none of the tourist crowds.

This 160,000 acres of wild is brimming with all the wildlife you long to see, as well as plenty of unique and glamorous accommodation that will give you a front-row view. When based at a private game reserve like Sabi Sand, you get to venture off-road to follow the animals as they go about their business - something that is not allowed in public parks. Want to experience a safari after dark? You can add it to your itinerary at Sabi Sand. Whether you are visiting as a gay couple, family, group of friends or solo, Sabi Sand is the luxury safari paradise.

The ideal stayover on your trip to Africa, Johannesburg is home to the largest airport on the African continent.

Because of its thriving mining activities, this urban playground is fondly nicknamed 'Egoli', which means 'the City of Gold'. It is a bustling city with many great accommodation options and endless high-end shopping and entertainment opportunities. Very modern yet steeped in history, you can experience all the luxury and culture in this economic hub.

Because of the prominent airport, you can fly directly from Johannesburg to most major destinations.

The postcard destination for a honeymoon, Mauritius is an island of sheer perfection. From the moment you open your eyes in the morning to watching the sunset over the ocean’s horizon, each day will be delightfully perfect.

From kicking back on the beach to exploring the rain forests, local crocodile farms, botanical gardens and volcanoes, or snorkelling, there is plenty to do. The island does not recognise same-sex marriage in the court of law, but LGBT residents are protected against discrimination in some cases, such as employment. The island’s population is becoming more and more welcoming towards LGBT people.

Whether you want to pack your days with action or you want to do as little as possible (just keep the cocktails coming, it's a holiday after all, dah-ling!), Mauritius will deliver and then some.

Long walks on the endless beaches, quad biking, or hiking up mountains, you can take your pick depending on your mood. If you are fascinated by all things cultural and historical, the island's forts, towers, sugar production farms, and mysterious shipwrecks will all tickle your fancy. Although everything on land is already more than enough to keep you busy, you should not ignore the world underwater. Offering some of the most magical snorkelling and diving experiences, the clear, azure water and kaleidoscope of fish and coral calling it home is out-of-this-world beautiful.
