Falling in love and planning a wedding is an adventure in and of itself—but spending a low-key week at the beach isn't enough for most thrill-seeking couples. Leave it to Brides travel editor, Jacqueline Gifford, to explore one of the most exotic honeymoon destinations in the world and embark on a 14-day safari adventure in South Africa and Botswana.

Check out her travel diary for inspiration and ideas to plan your own African honeymoon adventure.
