Tanzania Honeymoon
Tle Ultimate Safari & Beach Destination
Tanzania works exceptionally well for couples looking for a safari that feels wild, scenic and immersive, balanced with proper time to slow down afterwards. From beautifully understated tented camps overlooking the Serengeti plains, to barefoot luxury on the white sand beaches of Zanzibar, it remains one of Africa’s finest honeymoon destinations.
At Nelson Travel, we create tailor-made Tanzania honeymoons designed entirely around how you like to travel. Some couples are drawn to the drama of the Great Migration, while others prefer quieter safari areas, slower-paced itineraries and smaller camps with a more intimate atmosphere.
Northern Tanzania; visit the Iconic Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater
Northern Tanzania is famous as one of the world's top safari destinations; the notorious Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater offer excellent game viewing all year and is also home to The Big 5 and The Great Migration. It is the perfect destination for first-time safari-goers and experienced safari regulars. The only drawback of the North is that, because of its fame, prices are a little higher.
Example itinerary:
- 1 night Arusha
- 2 nights Tarangire National Park
- 2 nights Ngrongoro Crater
- 3 nights Serengeti National Park
-
Southern Tanzania; Experience Luxury in Pure Wilderness
Southern Tanzania offers a different experience. The diamonds of the South are Nyerere and Ruaha National Park. Both have stayed pristine and offer a more personal safari experience. They also cater for boating, walking, and fly camping in the bush. The accommodation is better value too (more luxury for your money) and the parks are closer to each other and the beach, meaning shorter travel times.
Example itinerary:
- 1 night Dar Es Salaam
- 3 nights Ruaha National Park
- 3 nights Nyerere National Park
-
Safari & Beach; The Ultimate Honeymoon
Zanzibar is a fantastic option for a beach break. There are many superb beach options to choose from, with prices varying hugely. Whether you're after stripped back rustic experience or a luxury stay, Zanzibar has it. Other surrounding islands (Pemba and Mafia) cater well to big diving fans, and a few private islands like Mnemba and Fanjove cater well for those wanting an exclusive experience.
Example itinerary:
- 1 night Arusha
- 3 nights Serengeti National Park
- 6 nights Zanzibar
