12-Day Honeymoon in Tanzania and Zanzibar

For a honeymoon that stands out from the ordinary, our Authentic itinerary is designed for couples dreaming of a getaway that is both intimate and memorable. Far from classic tourist destinations, this tour combines the raw emotion of a Tanzanian safari with the serenity of a beach with real character in Zanzibar. You will stay in tented camps and lodges chosen for their authenticity and strong connection to nature.

Experience the thrill of a safari for two as you explore the plains of the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, then let yourself be lulled by the gentle lapping of waves on an authentic Indian Ocean beach. This honeymoon is more than just an adventure; it is the beginning of a new story, your story, written in the heart of Africa.

For optimal wildlife viewing, the long dry season from June to October is unbeatable. The vegetation is low, and animals concentrate around water sources, making safaris particularly rewarding.

For lush landscapes and the magic of calving season, the period from January to March is exceptional, particularly in the southern Serengeti (Ndutu). It is the perfect time for photographers and for witnessing intense predator activity.

To avoid crowds and benefit from attractive rates, the rainy seasons (March to May and November-December) transform the landscape into a lush garden. These periods offer a more intimate experience of Tanzania.
