My husband and I just got back from our honeymoon put together with so much care by Rushaan at Voyage2africa. Wow I don’t know where to start as everything exceeded our expectations! First of all Rushaan is super patient and her expertise in Africa is incredible – she reworked our trip over and over again until we were happy and everything she planned made so much sense once we were travelling and she met our brief spot on. Our standouts were Cape Town, Rushann even booked restaurants for us, and Old Drift at Victoria Falls as we loved being right on the river there and the helicopter flight was something I will never forget. Ending at Azura was amazing. Ronaldo looked after us so well what a spoil. We have already told friends wanting to do an African honeymoon about you, I am sure they will be in touch!
