Honeymoon
by ROAR AFRICA
“As millennials we are used to planning our own travel, but ROAR AFRICA made our honeymoon to South Africa special in ways we just couldn’t have. Using ROAR AFRICA elevated every aspect of our time in South Africa. For a trip that special, there is no other way to go.”
We aim to minimize the environmental impact of ROAR AFRICA travel and purchase carbon credits equivalent to all our emissions, contribute to wildlife conservation and invest in the communities that host us.
A legacy of love
Your honeymoon becomes more than a trip—it becomes the foundation story of your marriage. Years later, you'll still speak of the morning you watched lions hunt across the savannah, the evening you danced under stars that seemed close enough to touch, the quiet moments when you realized that love, like the African wilderness, is both powerful and peaceful. Beyond the indelible memories this journey promises lies real impact.
Perhaps, after soaring above the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in a hot air balloon as the sun paints the sky in shades of gold and crimson or diving into crystal-clear waters where tropical fish dance in coral gardens, you’ll meet leading conservationists and local heroes who dedicate their lives to protecting Africa's precious wildlife. I cannot describe the profound satisfaction of knowing your honeymoon directly supports these critical efforts, on a landscape you are bound to love with your heart and soul.
This is travel as it should be…imbued with meaning.
Honeymoon by ROAR AFRICA
The beauty of an African honeymoon lies in its infinite landscapes of contrast This magnificent continent is the origin of our shared humanity. It holds endless green plains teeming with wildlife, rippling desert sands, towering snowcapped mountains, emerald jungle, mist-swirled volcanoes and the most breathtaking beaches and crystalline waters in the world.
Amidst these landscapes you find real life: wildlife of every kind certainly, warm smiling people of myriad tribal and cultural origin, rare birds and tropical fish, cities brimming with art and architecture, fabulous food and wine…few places on earth feel as vividly alive as Africa.
“A recalibration of the soul”
Professor Keltner’s groundbreaking work has put language and science to what I’ve instinctively known for years: that nature is our nurture and in the wild places of Africa, where the silence is deep and visceral, something ancient in us begins to heal. The goosebumps we feel in the presence of the wild are, in fact, awe. Dacher’s research reveals that it is not an indulgent or ephemeral emotion, but essential, physical, even. Awe calms the nervous system, quiets the ego and reconnects us to something far greater than ourselves.
If, as Dacher says, we are suffering from an “awe deficit” in our modern, digital lives, then this retreat is the antidote. It is a return to what matters most, not in theory, but in practice. Our world of constant digital chatter, pings and distractions will be replaced by birdsong, beauty, silence… and it’s in this quiet that the world opens – we open – to awe.
To walk through Africa’s wilderness with Professor Keltner, to hear the science behind what your body already knows, is to awaken to the sublime. This is a journey about coming home, to the earth, to awe and to yourself.
