Ultimate Okavango Honeymoon
Six Days of Water, Wildlife & Total Seclusion in the Delta
Overview
The Okavango Delta is the world's most exclusive wilderness — a UNESCO water-world where channels, lagoons and palm islands shelter elephant, lion, leopard and wild dog. This six-day honeymoon places you in two of the Delta's most sublime camps for water and land safaris in near-total privacy, with mokoro glides, boat cruises and game drives by day and candlelit dinners under the Milky Way by night.
Botswana's low-volume, high-cost model means you share this paradise with almost no one. You stay in icons like Mombo and Abu Camp, fly between camps by light aircraft over a glittering maze of waterways, and are personally hosted throughout by Private Tours Cape Town.
Who It's For
Created for honeymooners and couples who want the ultimate in privacy, romance and barefoot luxury, set against some of the finest big-game viewing in Africa.
The Beyond Africa Difference
We don't just book a honeymoon. We craft six days you'll talk about for the rest of your lives.
Private islands, mokoro glides through papyrus channels, and suites where the only sound is the call of the African fish eagle — this is Botswana at its most intimate.

Safari Preparation Tips
Essential guidance for your journey
Mokoro magic
Traditional dugout canoes (mokoros) glide silently through channels. It's the opposite of a game drive — slow, meditative, pure connection.
Island exclusivity
Okavango camps are built on private islands accessible only by boat or light aircraft. You'll never see another lodge.
Water & land game viewing
The Delta offers both: mokoro safaris, walking safaris and traditional 4×4 drives depending on water levels and your camp.
Scenic flights included
Most packages include a scenic flight over the Delta. The aerial view reveals why this place is called the 'Jewel of the Kalahari'.
Private dining
Tell the lodge it's your honeymoon. They'll arrange candlelit dinners on your deck, private bush breakfasts and surprise champagne.
Soft bags only
Light aircraft to the Delta require soft bags (no wheels), max 20 kg. Lodges provide laundry; pack light and smart.
