The Tanzania honeymoon archetype is bush + beach: a private safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro followed by a barefoot beach week on Zanzibar. Here are three itineraries we run most.
The classic 10-day honeymoon
6 nights safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) + 4 nights Zanzibar east coast. From USD 4,800 pp.
The intimate fly-in 8-day
5 nights safari (fly-in Serengeti + Ngorongoro) + 3 nights Zanzibar luxury. From USD 6,200 pp.
The grand 14-day
9 nights safari (full northern circuit including a walking concession) + 5 nights Zanzibar. From USD 8,400 pp.
Romantic camps we love
Sayari Camp (north Serengeti), Lemala Kuria Hills, &Beyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, Sanctuary Kichakani (mobile), Singita Sasakwa. On Zanzibar: Pongwe Bay, Zuri, The Residence and Manta Resort (Pemba).
What we add automatically
Honeymoon perks at every camp (we negotiate with camp managers), a balloon flight on day one of the Serengeti, private dinners, in-room spa.
What to avoid
Single-night stays at any camp. Group safaris. Resort blocks on the over-developed Nungwi coast.
