We typically book our own vacations when we travel, but with all the wedding planning, changing jobs/busy season at work, and traveling for work, I couldn't imagine adding in planning our honeymoon into the mix. My husband was so gracious to agree to go to Africa on our honeymoon, which has been a lifelong dream for me. We reached out to Anne at Live Life Travel, and got an immediate response which is so refreshing. She was actually preparing to go to Africa, and when she got back she had a bunch of great recommendations for us. We decided upon South Africa (Cape Town, Kruger National Park, and Johannesburg) and Zambia (Victoria Falls). As most couples getting married do, we had a budget that we wanted to stick to for our trip, and Anne worked hard to ensure we stayed with in it. She worked with an African agency to book our trip, and helped us change our flights when the airline switched up the dates/times (which was at no fault of Anne's-- the airline did it). We received our itinerary, intercontinental flight itineraries, and traveling tips in advance.
Now-- to the fun part, the actual experience. We had the most wonderful, perfect honeymoon. 99% of the vendors were amazing (we had one driver that drove wayyy too fast for our comfort, but even he seemed to be from a reputable company). The hotels were lovely, and it was so nice to have all of our ground transportation arranged for us. My bridesmaids wanted to treat my husband and I to dinner as a gift, so Anne even helped coordinate that for us. Each excursion was amazing, and I cannot express how much we loved our time in Africa.
We cannot wait to go back and have already started a "let's visit next" list. When we decide to return, we will most certainly work with Anne and Victoria again!
