World Wide Honeymoon Travel Podcast

We're back from our trip to South Africa where we went on another safari near Kruger National Park. This time, we spent 3 nights in the Klaserie Private Game Reserve at Senalala Safari Lodge. It was amazing!

But we noticed differences between Senalala Safari Lodge and Simbavati River Lodge, where we've stayed on our last 2 visits to South Africa. We also noticed differences between the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve and the Timbavati Private Private Nature Reserve (where Simbavati River Lodge is located).

So, we decided to make an episode comparing and contrasting the two! Which would you like to visit most?

Last week we did the ultimate luxury trip if money were no object…this week we're doing the opposite.

We set a limit of $1,000 per person, or $2,000 per couple, for a 1-week trip together. Between driving, hotels, and food, things definitely can add up. Here are 2 trips you can do for under $2,000!

A couple of months ago, we started looking into our first trip of 2027. I know, it feels early, but it's rushing toward us!

We were looking into a budget-friendly trip that is 1) about 1 week long and 2) great for a mid-winter visit.

And we found quite a few places! There were some we were heavily considering before finally coming to a conclusion on where we're going. This includes anything from a National park road trip to even Egypt!

So we decided to make a podcast episode to share places we found, itinerary ideas, and why we ultimately didn't choose them. We also share where we decided to go for our trip!

It's the castles and caves road trip through France! She discusses visiting pre-historic caves, sipping Malbec where it's originally from, and even exploring castles used in the famous movie, Ever After.
