Well, we are offering a slightly different approach to your typical honeymoon, with the notion that two destinations are better than one. So, we\u2019ve paired two of the most contrasting destinations, intrepid Rwanda and the secluded private coves of Oman. To create this unusual luxury vacation with the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. We\u2019ll whisk you off to the volcanic peaks of Rwanda in search of mighty mountain gorillas, before transporting you to the serene shores of Six Senses Zighy Bay for some well-deserved beach relaxation. Sold? We thought so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GORILLAS IN THE MIST<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Touch down in Rwanda and we\u2019ll transfer you to Volcanoes National Park and the luxurious Virunga Lodge.\u00a0A country with a turbulent past, Rwanda is now regarded as a wildlife mecca with a third of the planet\u2019s remaining mountain gorillas found in the country\u2019s northern region.\u00a0Whether you choose to take the high road or fly via helicopter over the impressive mountain scenery to get to Virunga Lodge, the views from this remote eco-retreat are truly awe-inspiring. The Virunga mountain chain consists of eight almost perfectly-peaked volcanoes that extend along the northernmost border into Uganda. This is your base camp for the next four nights, as you venture out into the surrounding jungle to track endangered gorilla families. You\u2019ll trek through the light mountain forest, with an early start to make the most of your time, and get up-close and personal with the apes by lunchtime. Just remember to charge the camera the night before, this is an album you won\u2019t want to miss out on. Once you\u2019ve pried yourself away, you\u2019ll be back in time for a late afternoon meal at the lodge and a chance to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>EXPLORING VIRUNGA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve made the most of viewing the incredible primates in the wild, you can explore Volcanoes National Park further: by visiting the golden monkeys or climbing Visoke volcano. For those inspired by the gorilla tracking, you can also make the short trek to Dian Fossey\u2019s (the famous researcher depicted in \u2018Gorillas in the Mist\u2019) grave. After exploring all this fascinating corner of Rwanda, you can make the most of the romantic and secluded setting with a complimentary massage followed by a candle-lit dinner overlooking the dramatic volcanic landscape.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VOLCANOES TO BEACH LIFE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From the highlands of Central Africa to the crystal-clear waters of the Peninsula Gulf, you\u2019ll finish your honeymoon in serious style on Zighy Bay. After the busy build-up to the wedding, Six Senses Zighy Bay is the perfect setting to unwind and make the most of the stunning beaches and gorgeous sunsets. For a grand arrival, paraglide into your home for the next few days, or opt for a scenic drive and be warmly welcomed upon arrival. Nestled in the breathtaking Musandam Peninsula, where steep mountains plunge into vivid emerald seas, here you can do as much or as little as you like<strong>. <\/strong>Hole up in one of the luxurious private villas where you can while away your days dipping in and out of your private plunge pool before heading to the spa to indulge in a few world-renowned spa treatments. For those looking to expel a little bit more energy, you can take to the beach for a private yoga session, or for night owls we can organize a private dinner at a secluded little alcove on the beach. The perfect way to end your unusual, honeymoon adventure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lost for where to start with your honeymoon planning?
