Why Namibia Is The Perfect Place For A Royal Honeymoon

Updated Aug 31, 2022 | By Jen O'Brien

Yes, there are cheetahs, lions and zebras galore, but these once-in-a-lifetime safari encounters are only a small part of Namibia's charm. The country, known for its breathtakingly vast deserts and seemingly endless horizons, is perhaps one of the best places in the world to really get away from it all and spend time alone with your new husband.

Located in southwest Africa, Namibia is not only home to some of the continent's most jaw-dropping sights but also some outstanding, remote, luxury properties so you'll understand why Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were repeat visitors and why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would choose this destination for their honeymoon.

Since gaining independence from South Africa in 1990, the country has also developed a strong culture of conservancy. Endangered animal populations that were once dwindling are now on the rise and scenic attractions, like the stunning dunes of Sossusvlei and parched white clay pan of Deadvlei, remain pristine.

Here we'll introduce you to six of Namibia's top honeymoon attractions, which are currently some of the best kept secrets in Africa -- trust us, they won't remain so for long!
