A lodge is an accommodation facility located in natural surroundings. The rates charged are usually inclusive of an experience offered at the game lodge e.g. game drives, bush walks, cultural experiences, and nature drives. In general, all meals are also included. 

South Africa offers many private game reserves which hosts game lodges from moderate to luxury accommodation for your dream Africa honeymoon safari. There is a variety of game lodges to choose from for your romantic honeymoon vacation. Kruger National Park and the surrounding private game reserves, such as Sabi Sands, Timbavati, Manyeleti, and Makalali are the most popular regions in South Africa for wildlife bush safaris. The coast of KwaZulu Natal is the favourite amongst honeymooners for a beach honeymoon. There are very romantic and luxury game lodges in the Maputaland region of KwaZulu Natal, which makes it the perfect year-round honeymoon destination for a bush and beach honeymoon combination. Besides the private game reserves in the Kruger and KwaZulu Natal areas, there are also Welgevonden Private Game Reserve (about 3 hours driving north of Johannesburg), Madikwe Private Game Reserve (about 4 hours driving north-west of Johannesburg), and the private game reserves of the Eastern Cape (about 9 hours driving from Cape Town and 1 hour driving from Port Elizabeth). These private game reserves are all situated in a non-malaria area. Your African honeymoon safari at one of the private game lodges in the Eastern Cape can easily be combined with a self-drive trip along the Garden Route and a few nights in Cape Town.
