Honeymoon Help

If you had to choose between honeymooning in South Africa or Australia, which would you choose.

South Africa would be 4 nights in a game lodge, 4 nights in capetown, 2 nights in wine region, and 5 nights in Hermanus (beachy area)

The Australia trip would be a ton of jumping around...Sydney, Ayers Rock, Alice Springs, wine region, brisbane, great barrier reef. I've always wanted to go there, but I'm getting a headache looking at the itinerary.

I vote for South Africa...FH wants Australia. Oh...and South Africa is $1500 cheaper and includes most of our meals. Australia only includes a few meals...very few.

i'd choose South Africa. FH vetoed it for me, but i think it'd make an amazing honeymoon.

where are you going instead?

Definitely South Africa!!! Its amazing and just breathtaking.

In general my one piece of advice would be not to move around too much. DH and I went to three hawaiian islands, I wish we did two, it was just a pain living out of a suitcase for two weeks and the constant repack/flight, repack/flight, etc. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with this, but it was the HM and we really wanted to relax.

That is one of my concerns with Australia. To see everything I want to see, it would be like 7 or 8 hotels b/c of flights etc. Like you, I typically wouldnt mind it, but I want to enjoy the time. South Africa is 4 hotels-- which is already plenty!

I would personally go to Australia but it's totally up to what you really want to do. Hope you decide the best option for you.

We did a total of 5 flights and it was just overload. I felt once I settled in one hotel, I had to pack up the next day. I didn't think it would be alot when I booked the trip but it really was. Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed it but definitely too much time in the airport!

Austrailia

Ahh I like them both!!!!

I would pick South Africa!!
