HONEYMOON

KRUGER NATIONAL PARK It is only fitting that a wedding in South Africa end with a honeymoon amid its wilderness. Not too far from Rustenburg, Kruger National Park is one of the biggest game reserves on the continent. Spread over 19,000 square kilometres, the national park is segregated into smaller reserves that come with safari lodges and the promise of sighting the Big Five.
