Top 10 Glamping Honeymoons | SouthBound Bride

All this month we've been showcasing boho wedding content, but this afternoon, we're turning our attention to boho honeymoons, and I can't think of a more appropriate answer for nature-loving gypsy types than glamping. In case you've not heard the term before, glamping (glamorous camping) is a huge trend in travel at the moment, combining all the best things about camping with a hefty touch of luxury as well as eco-friendly credentials. Think leaving the city behind you, fresh air, exercise, the sun on your face and sleeping under the stars. But without: fighting over how to pitch the tent, rocks in your back, long walks in the dark to find a bathroom, breaking camp in the rain. (Basically, all the reasons I do not camp.) There are some SERIOUSLY cool places to glamp around the world - some close to home, some further away - and today I'm rounding up ten of my favourites, all of which would be perfect for a honeymoon break. Get ready to be inspired!

1. San Camp, Botswana
I'd pretty much sell my right arm for a visit to this tented camp in the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans - the scenery is insanely beautiful and serene, the wildlife is fantastic, and the accommodation is gorgeous. Plus, the camp has impeccable eco creds, as it's run almost entirely on solar energy. As well as the beautiful bedroom tents, there's a mess tent where elegant teas and meals are served daily, a library, and a tented yoga pavilion. I don't even DO yoga and love the sound of that!

4. Cottars 1920s Safari Camp, Kenya
Kenya is awesome for Out of Africa-style romance, and has a number of incredible tented safari options. One of my favourites is Cottars, with lingering G&T sunset-worthy views over the neighbouring Masai Mara reserve, antique furnishings, and just ten tents including a very special honeymoon option - some even have living rooms with fireplaces (this kind of camping is a long, long way from the caravan park!). There's also a pool and spa area, to relax in between game drives.
