1. Is this safari package private or part of a group?
This honeymoon safari is entirely private, tailored just for the two of you. From airport transfers to game drives, you’ll have a dedicated guide and vehicle throughout the journey. This allows you to enjoy the experience at your own pace and prioritize the activities or wildlife sightings you’re most interested in. Romantic meals, personalized service, and flexible timing make this the perfect start to your life together.

Yes, all selected accommodations are ideal for honeymooners. They feature cozy rooms or private tents with beautiful views, often with extras like private verandas, bush dinners, and surprise romantic touches. Some lodges can arrange special turndown services, rose petals, or champagne on request. Their quiet and scenic locations create an intimate atmosphere for couples celebrating love and new beginnings.
3. What kind of meals are included?
Meals are thoughtfully included to ensure a stress-free experience. You’ll enjoy breakfast, lunch (often picnic-style in the bush), and dinner daily, with a mix of international and local flavors. Dietary preferences and allergies can be catered to with advance notice. Meals are often served al fresco, allowing you to dine under the stars or with scenic views of the surrounding landscapes.
4. What wildlife can we expect to see?
This itinerary offers excellent opportunities to see the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—along with cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, flamingos, and more. Each park has unique features: Tarangire is known for elephants, Serengeti for big cats and migration herds, Ngorongoro for dense predator-prey interactions, and Manyara for birdlife and tree-climbing lions. Your guide will help track the best sightings based on seasonal movements.
5. Is travel insurance required for the trip?
While not mandatory, travel insurance is strongly recommended. A good policy should cover trip cancellations, lost baggage, medical emergencies, and evacuation services—particularly important when traveling to remote areas. It’s an added layer of protection, offering peace of mind throughout your journey. Be sure to purchase your policy before departure and carry a copy with you.
6. Can this safari be extended to Zanzibar?
Absolutely. Many honeymooners choose to continue their adventure with a few days in Zanzibar’s tropical paradise. After your safari ends, you can catch a short flight to the island for a beach holiday. There, you can enjoy white-sand beaches, snorkeling, and romantic dinners by the sea. We can arrange everything from airport transfers to boutique beach resorts tailored to your honeymoon style.
What’s the best time of year for this honeymoon safari?
The best time for this honeymoon safari is during Tanzania’s dry season, from late June to October, when wildlife viewing is at its peak and skies are clear. If you prefer a quieter experience, January to February is ideal for the calving season, with dramatic predator activity. We can customize your itinerary depending on the season, ensuring you experience the best wildlife and lodge ambiance available.
