Where awe-inspiring wildlife meets thrilling adventures and blissful islands
Tanzania is a fantastic honeymoon safari choice. This spectacular East African country offers wildlife, adventure and romance. Tanzania’s national parks are packed with astonishing animals and you can expect to witness one-of-a-kind landscapes, experience exhilarating activities and stay in world-class luxury lodges.
The best national parks in Tanzania can be divided into the northern and southern circuits. In the north you’ll find the legendary Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Park, as well as the Ngorongoro Crater. The south is home to Nyerere National Park, Ruaha, Katavi and the Mahale Mountains.
Each destination in Tanzania has its own emblematic species and outdoor activities: think walking safaris, river cruises, chimpanzee trekking and flamingo spotting. Some of the most romantic activities for couples include sunrise hot air balloon trips and stargazing on evening safaris.
For a Tanzanian honeymoon combining safaris and beaches, Zanzibar is an essential stop. Speak with us to start designing the trip of your dreams, including seamless transitions between destinations and a bespoke itinerary that’s specially crafted to celebrate your love.

When to visit Tanzania for honeymoon safaris
The best months for a honeymoon safari in Tanzania are June through October, when dry weather conditions make animals easier to spot.
The Great Migration river crossings attract lots of visitors to the Serengeti from July to September; if you want to see this spectacle, we can suggest quieter areas away from the crowds.
During the green season from November to May you can see gorgeous green scenery and witness the calving season in the Serengeti, though April and May are usually too rainy for safaris.
