Greetings family and friends! We want to thank you for celebrating this tremendously exciting event with us. Your attendance on April 25th is gift enough, but we set up this website for those who may want to give an experience instead of a gift. Most of you know we love traveling...A LOT. And as Blake's father says, "If you are going to do it, you might as well do it right!"--so we decided to go all out on our honeymoon: Africa. From Blake's desire to sleep under the stars while listening to the roar of lions to Abigail's photography fantasy trip, Africa is has always been at the top of our list. This website lists the experiences and activities we have planned on our honeymoon. While we can't physically take you with us, we can share our trip with you through pictures, postcards, and plenty of stories!
We're going to South Africa and Botswana!
We only have one shot at a honeymoon, so why not make it a trip of a lifetime! We will fly from Austin to Cape Town, South Africa where we will spend seven days exploring the city and its surrounding areas. Aside from hiking Table Mountain and soaking up the views, we plan to spend a few days in the wine country (there is even one winery where you pet cheetahs while sipping on a pinotage!), and from there we will drive the Garden Route checking out the picturesque oceanfront towns. Then comes part II of our honeymoon: Safari. We will start at the Sandibe Camp in the Okavango Delta of Botswana. This is known as a "water camp" because mokoros (canoes) are your mode of transportation for wildlife viewing in the delta. From there we fly to Savute Camp where we will sleep under a canvas to the roar of lions and the heckling of spotted hyenas. Next we head to Chobe National Park, home to 60,000 Kalahari elephants and the most diverse game concentration in Africa. Our final stop will be Matetsi Water Lodge on the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe near the breathtaking Victoria Falls, the world's highest waterfall. Yes, Zimbabwe has been in the news recently and it is not because President Mugabe is up for a Nobel Peace Prize, but come on....you can't let a little civil unrest scare you off! And from Zimbabwe we make our way home to Austin. We can't wait!
