Romantic Experiences in Africa
• Be a Castaway On Your Own Deserted Island in Mozambique, Africa

Set on a completely private, uninhabited island, Azura Quilalea is the ultimate in private luxury. If you’ve dreamed of a romantic getaway with absolutely no distractions, there’s no better place in the world. With just nine luxury villas on the island, the island is set on a marine sanctuary with more than 400 species of fish in the water and undisturbed white sandy beaches for miles. Couples can soak up the sun or enjoy some of the world’s best snorkeling and diving during their stay, while enjoying bespoke luxury completely catered to them at any given minute.
• Sleep out under the stars in the Kalahari Desert, Africa

Romance is often sparked from simple, traditional moments like looking up at the stars. If traveling to South Africa, sleeping under the stars atop a platform bed- the Malori Sleepout - at Tarkuni Private House, is an experience to be remembered. The Tarkuni residence can be rented exclusively for a dedicated private service with a personal chef, butler, personal field guide, vehicle and tracker. Upon arrival either by plane or car, guests have a private consultation so that their time and activities during their stay are flexible and tailored exactly to their interests and preferences. So if a couple wants to spend a night at the Malori sleepout, track Cheetah the next day, have a facial after dinner, visit the local community, have a gourmet picnic lunch on their game drive or champagne breakfast in bed, this will all be arranged for the visitors. http://www.jacadatravel.com/Hotel/504/tarkuni_private_house
• Observe the Wildlife of Limpopo, South Africa Atop a Horse Safari

For the nature lovers, “The Great North” or South Africa’s northernmost province of Limpopo justifies its nickname with some of the most magnificently scenic and contrasting terrain one can see throughout the country. An outwardly ancient-looking landscape whittled by time, winds and water has formed a sensational topography of kopjes (granite rock hills) rising abruptly from its valleys, riverines, canyons, tumbling waterfalls, striking ridges and rolling hills. Couples can explore these picturesque sights and their astounding wildlife diversity as they trek the plains atop a horse to their own private camp. http://www.jacadatravel.com/Place/159/limpopo_province
