This country offers a fantastic combination of adventure and romance. The game viewing is exceptionally good, and Tanzania offers a number of small, intimate, and authentic camps and lodges, many of which provide the option to book a private vehicle for game drives.
Additionally, you can combine your safari in Tanzania with beach time on Zanzibar! Most of our clients who choose Tanzania for their honeymoon want to start with a safari before spending a few days relaxing on an idyllic beach. However, you can easily spend time on the beach first, followed by a safari – the choice is yours!
"When it comes to safari destinations, Tanzania divides into two areas – the famous ‘Northern Circuit’ and the off-the-beaten-track south."
From witnessing the Great Migration to catching sight of the big cats that follow the herds, you and your partner will be mesmerised by this national park every time you set off on a traditional game drive!
The views from the Crater rim are sure to have you gasping with awe. Well worth a visit for the scenic vistas alone, the Crater is also home to some incredible big game, including big tusker elephants, large prides of lion and herds of buffalo that often stand up to the big cats.
The Selous is a watery world filled with palm trees, boat cruises, and of course some wonderful wildlife. This reserve is perfect for a quiet and romantic safari!
Zanzibar is a fantastic option for a beach break. There are a number of superb beach options, with prices varying hugely. There are also other surrounding islands that cater for big diving fans (Mafia and Pemba) and a few private islands, see Mnemba and Fanjove, for the ultimate exclusive experience.
Tanzania safari planning is more than selecting a number of days. Park combinations, driving time, season, accommodation style and the balance between game drives and rest all matter. Use the itinerary above as a starting point, then discuss your dates and priorities with the Peaceful Expeditions team.
A good route balances wildlife areas with realistic road time so the trip does not feel like a race between parks.
Camping, lodge, tented-camp and luxury options can change the character and cost of a safari. Final properties depend on availability.
Wildlife is present year-round, but migration movements, calving, rainfall and road conditions vary. Specific sightings cannot be guaranteed.
