8 Days Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Honeymoon

Wildlife Wonders & Island Bliss

What to expect

This 8-day Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Honeymoon is a perfect blend of romance, adventure, and relaxation — designed for couples who wish to celebrate love amid Africa’s breathtaking landscapes. Your journey begins in Tanzania’s Northern Safari Circuit, exploring Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and the legendary Serengeti, before flying from the heart of the Serengeti (Seronera Airstrip) to the tropical paradise of Zanzibar for an idyllic beach escape.

During the first five days, experience Tanzania’s wild beauty: the vast plains of the Serengeti, the dramatic cliffs of Ngorongoro, and the ancient baobabs of Tarangire. Witness elephants, lions, giraffes, and perhaps even the Great Migration herds, all while enjoying romantic sundowners and cozy evenings in intimate safari lodges.

Then, retreat to Zanzibar — a destination of white sands, turquoise waters, and gentle sea breezes. Spend your final days unwinding at a luxurious beachfront resort, exploring Stone Town, or sailing into the sunset on a private dhow. This honeymoon itinerary promises unforgettable moments, from thrilling game drives to tranquil beach sunsets — a journey where romance meets the wild.
