The wedding of the year is over, and now we want to know all the details of the honeymoon of the year. While it is not yet known where the royal couple plan to spend their honeymoon, two of the most likely destinations are rumoured to be Namibia and Botswana.
Botswana is a favourite destination of Prince Harry’s, and is a country close to the couple’s heart, as Harry whisked Meghan off to Botswana for her birthday last year. The special trip was Meghan’s first ever wildlife safari, and the country means so much to the couple that Meghan’s engagement ring even features a stone native to Botswana.
Another hotly contended honeymoon destination for the new husband and wife is Namibia, with some sources stating that the couple have already decided on Namibia for their post-wedding escape. It is clear why Namibia would be a top choice for the royal couple, as it will allow them another opportunity to further explore the incredible wildlife and breath-taking scenery in Southern Africa, which they are so passionate about.
Wildfoot Travel are specialists in providing bespoke holidays in Botswana and Namibia and are proud to be able to provide couples with this once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon experience, inspired by Harry and Meghan.

Luxury Botswana and Victoria Falls Adventure
Botswana is highly-regarded as the finest wildlife destination in the whole of Africa. One reason Botswana is such an exceptional place is due to the diversity across the various regions.
A total of 38% of the entire land area in Botswana is devoted to national parks reserves and wildlife management areas, which is why this country is so iconic for its wildlife safaris.
Botswana is also leading the way when it comes to eco-tourism, and the country makes a conscious effort to only build small lodges, with sustainability, conservation and responsible tourism at the forefront of all development plans.
The luxury Botswana and Victoria Falls itinerary has been specially designed for those looking for a spectacular wildlife experience, combining a Botswana safari with an opportunity to explore the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls.
The trip begins at the award winning Jack’s Camp, which is famed for its meerkats. From here you’ll head on to the newly rebuilt Sandibe, offering exceptional viewing opportunities of both land and water game, before heading the ultra-luxe Zarafa Camp.
