Tanzania honeymoon: what to know
The most popular honeymoon in East Africa has two parts: several days on safari, then several days by the sea on Zanzibar. The first half gives you something to remember together, and the second lets you rest.
For the safari, we suggest fewer stops and longer stays. Two or three nights each in two parks is more relaxing than a new lodge every night. A private vehicle means you set the schedule, and small tented camps offer privacy that large lodges cannot. Flying between parks cuts out the long road days.
On Zanzibar, the quieter north-east and south-east coasts suit couples better than the busier north. Most people spend a night in Stone Town first.
Tell us it is a honeymoon when you enquire. Many lodges add small extras for newly-weds, such as a private dinner or a room upgrade when one is available, and some offer reduced rates for one partner.

What to expect on a Tanzania honeymoon
A honeymoon safari mixes adventure and privacy: game drives at your own pace, sundowners in the bush, dinner under the stars and a few days on the beach at the end. We choose intimate camps with private decks and outdoor showers, and we tell every lodge you are celebrating.
-
Where and when to go
The classic route is the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, followed by Zanzibar. June to October and January to February are the most reliable months; read our Zanzibar guide to choose your beach.
-
Who it suits
Newlyweds and couples celebrating an anniversary. Ten to fourteen days gives time for both safari and beach without rushing.

Questions about Honeymoon Safari
Honeymoon Safari: how many days do I need?
Our Honeymoon Safari trips run from 7 to 12 days, and most guests choose about 12. Fewer days mean more time on the road; more days let you slow down and stay longer where the animals are.
Honeymoon Safari: when is the best time to go?
The best time is June to October, and January to February. Every month has something, though, so read our guide to the best time to visit Tanzania before you choose your dates.
Honeymoon Safari: how much does it cost?
The price depends on the season, the number of people and the lodges you choose. We send a clear, all-inclusive proposal for your dates within 24 hours, and our guide to the cost of a Tanzania safari explains the main costs.
Honeymoon Safari: can I add Zanzibar or Kilimanjaro?
Yes. Zanzibar is about an hour's flight from Arusha or the Serengeti, and Kilimanjaro is an hour's drive from Arusha. See our Zanzibar holidays and Kilimanjaro routes.
Honeymoon Safari: is the trip private?
Yes. Every trip we run is private, with your own vehicle and guide, and we adapt the route, the lodges and the pace to you. Start with the trip planner or contact us.
