The designer honeymoon
Luxury Cape Town-based safari travel company, Go2Africa, has just released the world’s most curated honeymoon ever, in which guests will be followed by a private investigator to find out what they love and what they don’t.
Amid organizing flights, accommodation, visas and activities, along with finding a balance between both parties and ensuring they have a relaxing time, honeymoons have become one of the most stressful moments of a couple’s life together.
That’s why tailor-made travel specialists Go2Africa has introduced ‘The Designer Honeymoon’, the most curated honeymoon package ever and the first of its kind.
Emma Hill, African Safari Expert at Go2Africa says:
“When people are booking honeymoons they can often find it an incredibly stressful experience largely because of the sheer amount of choice available to them. There are too many options and they are not sure which direction to go in.”
“There are many honeymoon specials and they are usually valid for within 6 months of the marriage certificate. However, not all newlyweds go on honeymoon directly after their wedding, as they may wish to avoid peak season or travel at a suitable time that allows them to get the best value for their honeymoon at a luxury level where possible.” Hill also adds.
A private investigator?
To create the most bespoke honeymoon experience, the company has hired a seasoned private investigator and former FBI agent. Months before the trip even begins, the PI will shadow the couple for an entire week, meticulously gathering personal insights.
From deep-diving into their social media profiles as well as trailing them in their daily lives to interviewing their closest friends and family, no stone is left unturned in discovering what they love and hate.
Armed with the PI’s insights, the safari specialists at Go2Africa will then handcraft a honeymoon package designed to suit every unspoken need and desire of the happy couple, all without them lifting a finger.
From the moment they step out of their front door to the second they return, every detail will be orchestrated to deliver the most intimate, personalized journey of their lives.
The book that’s saved to their Amazon wishlist? Already waiting on the bedside table when they step into their safari lodge.
The exact meal they shared on their first date? Recreated to perfection for their first night under the stars. And that favourite song they’ve been playing non-stop for weeks? Serenading them as they enter their ultra-luxury lodge, setting the tone for a honeymoon filled with personalized surprises at every turn.
Honeymoon destinations of the stars
But that’s just the beginning. The itinerary traces one of Africa’s most romantic routes, including celebrity-favourite honeymoon spots. Think the Seychelles, loved by Prince William and Kate, the breathtaking landscapes of South Africa, where Hilary Duff and Matthew Koma visited in 2020, or the wild beauty of Tanzania, where Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake celebrated their honeymoon. Every stop is a page from the world’s most romantic playbook.
To take part in their unique experience, guests will be required to sign off on a unique agreement, granting the private investigator a week to discreetly track their every move and uncover the hidden details that make them tick. Rest assured, once the honeymoon is complete, every piece of their personal data will be securely erased, leaving only the unforgettable memories behind.
How much is it?
So, how much will all of this cost you? The Designer Honeymoon starts at $90,380 (around R1 600 000) per couple.
“We’re definitely seeing tailor-made travel becoming more sought-after. There is an element of us agents educating travelgoers. Steering them away from crowded, congested experiences and exposing them to really special areas where they can get closer to game sightings, be away from the crowds, and truly immerse themselves in nature.” Hill says
