The Hoanib Valley Camp had its moment in the sun as the hot favorite for a royal honeymoon. Canada was in with a shout along with Ireland.
Maybe we’ll never officially know where the newlyweds spent their first weeks together, although some photographer somewhere will undoubtedly expose a pic or two at some point! Here’s what we do know about honeymoons in Southern Africa though.
When it comes to honeymoons, southern Africa delivers a host of intimate, exclusive experiences that can’t be replicated anywhere else in the world. Here’s a taster of what to expect when you choose southern Africa for your romantic getaway.
