Kopano Lodge at Madikwe Safari Lodge
Part of Madikwe Safari Lodge, Kopano Camp is an alluring spot for honeymooners looking for a private and romantic safari. With just four suites and shared lounge areas, it's also ideal for couples travelling together or families with older children (over 16s only) looking for an exclusive use camp. Tuck yourself away with a book in the lounge areas, have a coffee outside on one of the decks for far-reaching views across the bushveld or head to the spa for a massage. There’s no television here either, so you can really switch off and experience the wild bush surrounds the way it was meant to be. The game drives are spectacular, with excellent Big Five game viewing in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve and sundowners to toast to the end of each day.

The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.

Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
