Honeymoon Safaris in Tanzania & Kenya

Private moments, romantic lodges and unforgettable sunsets for two.

Overview

A safari made for two

Start married life with a story worth telling. Picture a private game drive at sunrise, dinner under a sky full of stars and a quiet tented suite with the sound of lions in the distance. Then fly to an Indian Ocean island and do nothing at all. Our honeymoon safaris combine the drama of the bush with the calm of the beach, planned around just the two of you.

What makes our honeymoon safaris special

  • Just the two of you. A private vehicle and guide, so you set the pace, with no shared game drives and no rushing.
  • Romantic, handpicked stays. Intimate tented camps and lodges with views, plus beach hotels chosen for privacy.
  • Bush and beach in one trip. Combine the Serengeti or Masai Mara with Zanzibar or Lamu.
  • Little extras. Ask us about sundowners in the bush, bush dinners, a hot-air balloon flight over the Serengeti or a sunset dhow cruise.
  • Stress-free planning. We handle every flight, transfer and booking, so all you have to do is enjoy it.

Our honeymoon itineraries

Where to honeymoon

Serengeti

Wide open plains, big cats and the Great Migration. A hot-air balloon flight at dawn over the Serengeti is one of the most memorable things you can do as a couple.

Masai Mara

Classic savannah game viewing, Maasai culture and, from July to October, the migration.

Zanzibar

White sand, turquoise water, Stone Town's rooftop restaurants and sunset dhow cruises.

Lamu

Kenya's most relaxed island, with no cars, historic Swahili architecture and long empty beaches.

When to go on a honeymoon safari

The best overall time is June to October, when it's dry and sunny on safari and on the coast. December to February is also excellent, combining warm beach weather with the Serengeti calving season. If your wedding falls between March and May, the green season brings quieter lodges and lower rates, and we'll plan around the rains.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Is Tanzania good for a honeymoon?

Yes. Tanzania is one of the world's best honeymoon destinations because you can combine a world-class safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro with beach time on Zanzibar, all in one trip.

How long should a honeymoon safari be?

Seven to ten days works well: three to five days on safari followed by four or five nights on the beach. If you have less time, our 6-day Masai Mara & Lamu itinerary is a great option.

Should we do the safari or the beach first?

We usually recommend safari first, then the beach. Safari days start early and are full of activity, so ending on the beach lets you relax completely before flying home.

Can you arrange special honeymoon touches?

Yes. Let us know you're on honeymoon and we can arrange things like a private bush dinner, sundowners, a balloon safari or a dhow sunset cruise, depending on availability.

When should we book?

Book 6 to 12 months ahead if you're travelling in June to October or over Christmas, as the best romantic camps fill up early.
