Luxury Tanzania Honeymoons

There are a handful of incredible national parks, reserves, conservancies, mountain ranges, and islands across Tanzania, so it really depends on what experience you are looking for for your honeymoon. If you are wanting to do a safari then I would highly recommend the northern parks of Tanzania, including the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. If you’re looking for a safari experience off-the-beaten-track and somewhere more remote, then the southern parks of the Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve) and Ruaha National Park are fantastic options for honeymooners. For those looking for a beach destination pre or post-safari, then Zanzibar or the coast of mainland Tanzania are very good options.

The most visited island in Tanzania is Zanzibar, and rightly so. The island is so rich in history and culture, and its capital Stone Town is a destination in itself. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-visit when it comes to spending time in Zanzibar. The accommodation in Zanzibar is also diverse, with plenty of options from small, boutique hotels to larger resorts. However, if you are looking for a truly secluded island to spend your honeymoon on, then we’d highly recommend islands like Fanjove or Mnemba. As private islands though, these come with a price tag!

We organize private tours in Tanzania, which means that from the minute you arrive in the country, you will be met with private transfers and an itinerary that has been designed specifically for you. That said, a safari is often on a shared basis which means that your game drives will be with other guests from the camp. These will be in open-sided Land Cruisers, and you will have a professional safari guide driving you. There will be a maximum of 6/7 people and these will all be guests from the same camp. There are options to do completely private safaris (with your own safari jeep and guide) but we will run through the options and logistics with you when we are curating your perfect Tanzania honeymoon.

There are draws to both destinations, and both certainly offer a great safari experience, especially for first-time safaris or honeymooners. That said, if you are looking to combine a safari and beach honeymoon, I’d argue that Tanzania is the better option. This is because there are several flight options from safari to the beach which makes combining them very accessible, and there are plenty of accommodation options for honeymoon couples in Zanzibar and other islands off the mainland.
