Here are our top 10 places to propose in Africa.
#1 Safari proposal in the Kruger National Park
Despite the renowned Kruger National Park being declared as one of the greatest National Parks in the world, as well as South Africa’s flagship National Park, this remarkable wilderness wonder certainly didn’t end up in our number one spot by accident, oh no! The Kruger National Park loudly and proudly earned this highly coveted title as the number one destination on our list of top places to propose in Africa as it is in fact one of the most requested proposal settings in Africa. It certainly isn’t hard to understand why.
While the sheer unapologetic natural beauty and pristine wilderness within the Kruger Park, which is spread across an impressive 2 million hectares of unspoiled African bushveld, is enough to make it one of Africa’s top proposal destinations, the Kruger National Park is far more than one of Africa’s most breathtaking wilderness wonders.
Lying in the heart of the lowveld, the Kruger National Park is deemed the crown jewel of South Africa’s National Parks, offering avid travelers (and loved-up couples looking to get engaged of course) an unparalleled African safari and wildlife experience that’s unlike anything they’ve experienced before.
In addition to its top safari status and breathtaking natural beauty, the Kruger Park boast a vast and incredible diversity of wildlife, including the highest population density of the iconic African Big 5 (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo). In fact, the Kruger National Park is the top National Park in Africa to see every member of the African Big 5 – coined the ultimate treasures of the South African and African bushveld – up close in their natural habitat. The Kruger Park is also known for its spectacular sightings of endangered or ‘rarely seen’ wildlife species such as the African wild dog, cheetah, sable, and roan antelope as well as its astonishing abundance of birdlife – Undoubtedly making the Kruger National Park one of Africa’s top and most highly sought-after wildlife and safari destinations.
That’s not all! The glorious Kruger National Park is brimming with thrilling adventures, exhilarating activities, and exciting safari experiences – All of which are right at your fingertips and yours for the taking. You can choose to go on a self-drive wildlife adventure through the South African bushveld or enjoy a thrilling sunrise, mid-morning, afternoon, or sunset game drive in an open 4×4 vehicle with a highly experienced and incredibly knowledgeable wildlife guide by your side as you encounter sensational up-close wildlife sightings like you never have before. Or why not venture into the Kruger Park wilderness at night and revel in every thrilling second of an exciting night game drive? Hearing a lion roar during a night drive or safari is a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experience you’ll never forget – there truly is nothing quite like it.
If you’re eager to experience something a little more wild and daring, why not ditch the safari vehicle and proceed on foot as you embark on an unforgettable walking safari alongside an exceptional, experienced, and expertly trained wildlife guide? Traversing and exploring the African bushveld on foot encourages you to fully immerse yourself in the vast and untamed wilderness of the Kruger National Park as well as witness breathtaking wildlife sightings and encounters you only read about in pamphlets and books. Guided walking safaris / bush walks give you the unbelievable opportunity to experience the South African / African bushveld and all of its incredible inhabitants and wilderness wonders from a whole new and entirely different perspective – it is an adrenalin rush like no other.
Whether you choose to propose while on a spectacular sunrise or sunset game drive, on an unforgettable and stunning star-lit night-time safari, during a thrilling walking safari, while enjoying a romantic picnic set in the heart of the vast and untamed wilderness of the Kruger Park, or while sipping on a glass of champagne or enjoying a sundowner as you watch the spectacular sunset over the open savannah plains of the Kruger as wildlife graze in the distance – it promises to be a proposal both you and your partner will NEVER forget!
Go on – Your Kruger National Park proposal awaits!
#2 Propose at the edge of one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World – The glorious Victoria Falls
Sweep your significant other off his / her feet and make their heartbeat faster, much, much faster (quite literally) by getting down on one knee right next to the glorious Victoria Falls – One of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, not to mention one of the most astonishing and breathtaking sights in all of Africa.
Locally known as Mosi-oa-Tunya or ‘The Smoke That Thunders’, this jaw-dropping waterfall on the Zambezi River is located on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. Stretching 1.7km wide and reaching a height of 355 feet, Victoria Falls is considered to be the world’s biggest sheet of falling water.
When the Zambezi River is in full flood, it is estimated that 500-million liters of water per minute thunders over the drop, crashing into a deep rocky gorge at the bottom, throwing a cloud of mist and rainbow-lit spray high into the air. While the Main Falls lie within the borders of Zimbabwe, the Zambian side is equally as impressive during peak flood season (February to May). By far one of the best Zambian viewpoints is the Knife-Edge Bridge, which takes you right up close to this thundering waterfall – but, be prepared to get soaked – it’s all part of the experience anyway – not to mention it will make for one epic and truly unforgettable proposal, plus, just imagine to beyond incredible story you’ll get to tell!
If you’re feeling somewhat daring, why not consider proposing at the very edge of the Victoria Falls? And we mean right at the edge! However, this thrilling proposal idea depends on the time of year as it would only be possible to do when the water levels are relatively low. The months of August to December is deemed the best time of year for an exhilarating proposal at the very edge of the Victoria Falls as the water levels are at its lowest during this period. It is also the perfect time to visit Livingstone Island which is perched precariously at the top of the Falls and boasts truly stupendous sweeping views – it is nothing short of spectacular! Undoubtedly making it an unbelievable setting for a beyond sensational proposal.
Hold on, we’re not done yet! In addition to getting down on one knee right at the Falls’ edge, you can also choose to set up a romantic picnic next to the Victoria Falls, decide to add a bit more excitement to your proposal by venturing up to Knife-Edge Bridge, the most spectacular viewpoint of the Falls in all its glory, or pop the question as you soar through the sky on a microlight or helicopter flight overlooking the breathtaking Victoria Falls, Zambezi River, and all its stunning surroundings. Whichever way you choose to propose, it promises to be one magnificent and memorable moment to say the least.
There is no denying that the Victoria Falls definitely reigns supreme as one of the top places to propose in Africa.
If you and your partner have some extra time on your hands, we highly recommend that you spend a few days exploring and experiencing the many exhilarating activities and adventures on offer. From relaxed sightseeing on foot, scenic helicopter flights, going on a guided tour of the Victoria Falls or historical tour of the Victoria Falls Bridge, embarking on a sensational sunset cruise, Tiger Fishing along the Zambezi River, or enjoying an enriching, immersive, and exciting local village tour, to heart-pounding, adrenaline-inducing experiences like taking the ultimate leap-of-faith by going bungee jumping, going white water rafting on high-grade rapids on the Zambezi River, taking a dip in the rocky, yet equally remarkable, Devil’s Pool located on the Zambian side of Victoria Falls (with a sheer drop and an up-close-and-personal view off the Falls – it is indeed the ultimate infinity pool), and to the skies on a microlight flight – there truly is something for absolutely everyone to enjoy and tick off their bucket-list. Not to mention, if you and your partner are die-hard adrenalin junkies and avid thrill-seekers at heart, any of these once-in-a-lifetime adventure experiences will undoubtedly make for a truly unforgettable proposal – just putting it out there!

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa, the glorious Okavango Delta is by far one of Africa’s most fascinating and captivating regions and destinations to discover and explore. The Delta is not only deemed to be one of the world’s premier wilderness areas, but largest inland deltas on the planet, boasting one of the most unique, intricate, and intriguing ecosystems to ever exist.
This vast and virtually untouched freshwater wetland area fed by the Okavango River, is an astonishing and endless oasis characterized by a complex network of channels, islands, floodplains, riverine woodlands, marshlands, and lagoons that offer travelers, wildlife and nature enthusiasts, avid adventurers, globe trotters, and couples looking to get engaged (of course) a truly immersive experience and out-of-this-world perspective into a world of thriving waterways and vast flourishing wetlands teeming with wildlife, birdlife, luscious vegetation, magnificent landscapes, breathtaking surroundings, and so much more – you simply have to see it to believe it!
The Okavango Delta truly is a water wonderland in every way – this undoubtedly makes exploring the Delta by Mokoro safari / boat cruise / river safari the very best way to discover and experience everything it has to offer. Not to mention one of the most exhilarating, unique, and romantic ways to propose to the love of your life!
Enjoying a Mokoro journey through the Delta is not only a unique safari adventure that is entirely exclusive to the Okavango Delta, A Mokoro Safari also gives you the opportunity to see, discover, encounter, and explore hidden gems, secret spots, as well as witness diverse and rare wildlife and birdlife sightings you might not otherwise have spotted or seen on a traditional game drive.

It’s all of this and so much more that makes the Okavango Delta (along with going on a traditional Mokoro safari), one of the best experiences and top places to propose in Africa.

Deemed the all-mighty giant of the Cape Town skyline, standing tall at a staggering 1,086 meters above sea level, the glorious Table Mountain is one of the most popular places to propose in Africa – and it definitely isn’t hard to understand why. It has also been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as one of the New7Wonders of Nature, and, for the sake of this article, one of the most sought-after proposal destinations in Africa. However, Table Mountain is so much more than simply being one of Cape Town’s most iconic landmarks and sought-after attractions – It is without a doubt one of the most magnificent natural wonders to ever exist (not only in Cape Town, but in all of Africa and the world) as well as the ultimate mecca for nature lovers, avid hikers, adventure seekers, and absolutely everyone in between.
While admiring the world-renowned Table Mountain from below (from any of its countless vantage and look-out points scattered across the city) is every bit as beautiful, nothing compares to the breathtaking panoramic view you’ll get to witness while standing on the summit of Table Mountain – it is well and truly unmatched!

However, if you’re all about making your grand proposal the center of attention and don’t mind / care about the large crowds and tons of people around – who will undoubtedly cheer you on & celebrate your special moment along with you – then go right ahead and get down on one knee right in the mecca of it all.
