For couples looking to share an extraordinary experience in one of the world’s most exotic and fascinating destinations, Tanzania is calling. Romance. Indescribable scenic beauty. Experiences stimulating your senses and soothing your soul.
Most of our Tanzania Honeymoon Safaris are custom designed, based on the interests of the lovely couple (and sometimes, a surprise the groom wants to give his bride). However, here is a little taste of what you could experience on a romantic safari in Tanzania:
You wake at dawn to the sounds of tropical birds. Perhaps you stayed at a five-star hotel set in a coffee plantation or lush garden. You step out to stunning greenery and a massive volcano in the distance. Or, you stayed at a tented lodge in the Serengeti and you open the door to see elephants drinking just a few steps away.
You start off the morning with a game drive to see lions, cheetahs, giraffes and more. Perhaps you catch the river crossings at the Grumeti River, or the miracle of new life as zebras and wildebeests deliver adorable calves in the Ndutu area.
In the afternoon, return to your lodge for a dip in the pool with a view of wildlife as you swim: yes, gazelles and zebras graze within sight. Enjoy a relaxing couple’s massage before settling down to cocktails on your tent’s veranda. Take in the stunning sunset with the person you love, before heading for dinner beneath the stars in one of the wildest places left on earth.
Enjoy a late fire and the stunning Tanzania night sky, while listening to the roars of lions in the distance. Don’t fear – there are escorts to walk you both safely back to your room.
Your days in northern Tanzania will be filled with game drives where you may see leopards and cheetahs on the hunt, participate in walking safaris to see giraffes and zebras up close, and enjoy hikes to stunning waterfalls.
The second part of your honeymoon is a holiday at the beach.
Take a quick flight to Zanzibar and spend the next few days basking on the beach, swimming with sea turtles or diving along coral reefs. Do a photoshoot with butterflies at the Zanzibar Butterfly Farm, or wake early to swim with wild dolphins along the shores of Kizimkazi. Make your evenings special with candle-light dinner on the beach or a stunning sunset cruise on the ocean. The holiday is yours – we just help plan it.
Allow Legacy Exchange Outfitters to transform your wildest dreams into a real-life safari honeymoon designed uniquely for you. Reach out, tell us about your interests, and we will create a bespoke itinerary just for you.
Tanzania Honeymoon Safari
When to go on a Tanzania safari and beach honeymoon?
Tanzania is located in the tropics so you can expect temperatures of 25 degrees C + throughout the year. It is possible to visit all year round, but the best time for weather is from July – October when the weather is dry and the wildlife is prominent. Another popular time is January – early March. It is much warmer in Zanzibar this time of year, but you may enjoy a more exclusive experience in the tourist ‘lull’ before the rainy season begins in late March and runs until early June.
Each time of year has pros and cons for each location, so the best option is to contact us and chat with one of our Tanzania experts.
Some other locations to enjoy a romantic honeymoon in Tanzania include:
Saadani National Park – the only park in East Africa that connects to the ocean. Wildlife safaris and beach safaris combine in this remote park!
Mafia Island – a stunning island, ideal for diving and swimming with gentle whale sharks. This is the ultimate destination for an exclusive island honeymoon. While there are less marine activities, you will have absolute privacy on Mafia.
Pemba Island – part of the Zanzibar Archipelago, this is Zanzibar’s ‘little brother’ and is less busy than Zanzibar. The island is famous for its clove plantations and the aroma carries on the sea breeze; the entire place smells amazing, and the beaches are serene.
How to go on a Tanzania safari and beach honeymoon?
Tanzania is blessed with miles of beautiful coastline as well as several pristine Indian Ocean Islands.
The best lodges for a Tanzania honeymoon safari
Tented Camps or Non-tented Camps
A common misconception is that tented lodges are “basic” and not fit for honeymoon luxury whilst solid lodges are more glamorous.
In truth, some of the most luxurious camps in the country have a canvas covering, as well as swimming pools, chef-inspired food and fantastic spas.
Mobile tented camps
Mobile tented camps may sound rough and rugged, but don’t think “camp” in the sense of tarps and sleeping mats on the ground.
Tanzania’s mobile tented camps are the essence of “glamping”:
These camps are often located in the Serengeti and follow the Great Migration as it moves across the plains. Although they do not have pools or indoor plumbing, you will still enjoy stunning views, hot, running water and exquisite meals in nature.
These camps go the extra mile to ensure you have comfortable, sturdy beds, sitting areas and all the essentials for a bathroom while on holiday.
We think the tented camps exude old safari romance of the early 1900s, so we usually recommend at least a night or two for the experience.
This is a great way of mixing adventure and luxury.
