Tanzania Honeymoons

Sarah Fox

Tanzania is our most popular destination in Africa for honeymoons. One of the main reasons for this is that it so easily combines an action packed romantic safari with a relaxing stay on a nearby beach resort.

A Safari Honeymoon in Tanzania is most typically in line with people's vision of a traditional Safari.

When you imagine an African safari thoughts and visions come to mind of vast plains and huge herds of animals, these embody the landscape of Tanzania and bring the true ‘Out of Africa’ experience. Romance can be found in the beautiful landscapes of the contrasting plains and followed by a mesmerising island experience in the Indian Oceans white beaches and warm tropical waters.

Tanzania Safari Honeymoons

The most popular choice for a safari honeymoon is the northern circuit safari combined with Zanzibar, or one of its surrounding islands. Usually for between 10 days and 2 weeks. It is a simple, short flight between the two destinations. The southern circuit safari provides a remote location for the most exclusive and private of safari experiences. This is best combined with Zanzibar, the mainland coast at Ras Kutani and even Mozambique!

We know Tanzania

Tanzania has for years been one of our most popular honwymoon destinations. This means that we have vast experience planning many couples honeymoons, usually encompassing a safari and beach holiday. We have personally visited the majority of lodges and camps ourselves and we can guarantee that from start to finish your honeymoon will be expertly organised providing the best of safari guides and the most efficient of ground staff. We have hundreds of happy customers who have appreciated the excpetional service that Mahlatini offers.

When to visit Tanzania for your honeymoon?

You can experience a honeymoon in Tanzania at any time of the year. Tanzania particularly suits those couples getting married in the Northern Hemisphere's summer months from June to September. Although it is technically winter during these months Tanzania's position so close to the equator allows nearly year round warm temperatures. From June to October the country experiences what is termed the dry season, which is arguably the best time for game viewing. Zanzibar is comfortably hot during these months.

The summer months, however, bring their own rewards on safari and as long as you avoid the long rains (March to May) you will have hot and sunny holiday in Tanzania year round. See our safari calendar to discover what is on offer the month you would like to travel.

Honeymoon Accommodation

We know the lodges & camps in Tanzania which are most suitable for honeymooners. Accommodation options are varied but generally the most romantic places to stay are luxury tented camps. Forget all previous notions you may have about camping. This is the ultimate in camping! Most 'tents' consist of large bedrooms and bathrooms including all the modern amenities that you would expect in a luxury hotel. You just happen to be sleeping under canvas instead of concrete, in our opinion the best way to experience Africa - up close and personal with nature. Honeymoons are once in a lifetime holidays and we will ensure that you stay in accommodations which provide the privacy, exclusivity and luxury you would expect.

Below we have listed our favourite lodges and camps for honeymooners. These have been chosen for various reasons but largely due to their remote locations, affording an intimate experience but also for their outstanding personal service. The majority are the last word in luxury in terms of food, facilities and furnishings. Many also offer activities and experiences to enhance the romance of your honeymoon, for example candlelit dinners on the beach, hot air balloon safaris, his and hers massages, sunset cocktails on safari and champagne bubble baths.
