Recommended tour operator: Hands Up Holidays




Hands Up Holidays says
Whether you travel to Belize or Peru, Malawi or Mozambique, Thailand or Fiji, we offer the opportunity to experience a unique honeymoon which combines a luxurious holiday experience with a few days involved in some meaningful and lasting voluntary work amongst the local community.
The following example of our honeymoon in South Africa will give you a taste of what we offer, with similarly exciting and fascinating experiences around the world.
You’ll spend your first few nights in and around Cape Town; choose between a luxury boutique hotel right on the harbour front or stay on the beach along the coast. You might want to add on a few nights exploring the Cape winelands, go kayaking with the penguins on the Cape Peninsula, go whale-watching or cage-diving with sharks.
In the middle of your trip, you get to immerse yourselves in the local culture, really get to know the people and make a difference in their lives, by spending three to five days helping at an AIDS orphanage, teaching in an impoverished school, assisting at a township community kitchen or lending a hand at a community conservation centre
Spend the last few nights of this honeymoon at one of South Africa’s luxury safari lodges in fabled game reserves such as Sabi Sands, Madikwe or Kruger.
Each of our trips is graded according to the level of activity and standard of accommodation, ranging from simple community home-stays to luxury hotels.

Sure your honeymoon is about the two of you, but wouldn’t it be great if it also left a lasting legacy for others? Stay in boutique hotel heaven in Rio whilst helping residents paint murals, live amongst a hill tribe community in Vietnam teaching English or help rebuild slums on a luxury tour of India. A great way to give something back.
