Dear WareBear4244,
We couldn’t be more excited to welcome you and your wife for your upcoming honeymoon, and to hear that it will be your first experience of an African safari makes it all the more special. We’ll be sure to have the Champagne on ice for your arrival!
For game drives we always advise that guests should wear neutral colours that will blend in with the landscape. It is also best to bring along a light jacket for evenings and early mornings, although our rangers will make sure that you are well equipped with blankets and hot water bottles if things get chilly. Back at the Lodge you are welcome to wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. Most guests like bring a couple of smart-casual outfit for dinners, but jacket and tie are never required!
If we can help further then please don’t hesitate to get in contact with our friendly reservations team who would be very happy to help. We can’t wait to see you soon!
