“ Warm and sunny across the country, October is not only a perfect month for game viewing, with many upscale private safari reserves to choose from, but it’s also a great time to explore South Africa’s coastline. For some of the best whale-watching spots in the country, head to Hermanus. That is, after spending some time in the Harbor City of Cape Town and nearby winelands; a foodie's dreamland.”
Our wedding is next October and we’re looking for the perfect sunny honeymoon destination. What top 3 locations can you suggest for the time of year?
Our top pick is Bali. With art, spirituality, nature and delectable cuisine on offer, Bali has it all. Here you’ll find luxury in the rarest of settings, even for those on a modest budget. Choose to split your stay between secluded jungle sanctuaries and trendy beach front hotels, or island hop to the Gili Islands and Lombok.
Second on the list is Mauritius for its powder-white beaches, clear turquoise waters, dense forests and picturesque waterfalls. With unrivalled hospitality, prepare to be treated like royalty when honeymooning in this culturally, historically, rich paradise. For October honeymoons, we favour the luxury resorts closest to Le Morne Brabant. Towering mountain views will envelop you on one side whilst beautiful sea views allure you on the other.
Last but most certainly not least, is South Africa. Warm and sunny across the country, October is not only a perfect month for game viewing, with many upscale private safari reserves to choose from, but it’s also a great time to explore South Africa’s coastline. For some of the best whale-watching spots in the country, head to Hermanus. That is, after spending some time in the Harbor City of Cape Town and nearby winelands; a foodie's dreamland.
