• With the might of Victoria Falls at your feet
Both ethereal and awe-inspiring, the thrill of dropping to one knee above Zambia’s legendary Victoria Falls – one of the world’s seven natural wonders – is truly second to none. Stand with your toes tantalisingly close to the mighty rush of water below and let your love flow like the might of the Zambezi River. Though the pure beauty of the falls is enough to create memories that last a lifetime, be sure to sweep your intended off their feet to a luxury river lodge where a warm Jacuzzi and cold bottle of bubbly awaits.
• Out in the wilderness on safari
Though proposing to your loved one is nerve-racking enough, if you really want to get your heart racing consider a proposal amidst the wilderness of the Masai Mara in Kenya. Whether you choose to pop the question right as you spot your first lioness prowling across the savannah, or whether you save it for your rose-laden luxury safari lodge that takes “glamping” to the next level, asking your beloved to marry you out in the wild will no doubt be a roaring success.
• Beside the beauty of the Egyptian pyramids
If ancient architecture and enchanting history pulls at your heart strings, then there are few places on earth more magical than the great Egyptian pyramids. Steeped in romance and historically awe-inspiring, getting engaged beside one of the seven wonders of the world is a moment you’ll never forget. To make it that little extra special, hire your own personal camel chauffeur to escort you around the sights, and as you meet the iconic front face of the Great Pyramid of Giza, pull out the diamond ring for a double dose of awe and amazement.
• On your own private island in the Seychelles

With secluded bays, romantic candlelit dinners on the beach and private island villas with personal butlers catering to your every whim, your options are boundless when it comes to the big moment. Take the ring beneath the sea, into a five-star restaurant or high up on a thrilling helicopter ride, and relish in five-star luxury when it’s time to celebrate.
