What to Expect on this 8-Day Safari & Zanzibar Honeymoon

Celebrate your love story with this 8-day honeymoon that blends the untamed beauty of Tanzania’s safari heartland with the idyllic charm of Zanzibar’s coast. This journey is thoughtfully designed to give newlyweds a seamless blend of adventure, intimacy, and relaxation.

Begin in the legendary Serengeti, where sweeping plains and golden sunsets set the stage for unforgettable moments. Enjoy private game drives in search of lions, elephants, and leopards, followed by candlelit bush dinners under starlit skies. Continue to the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural amphitheater teeming with wildlife, where you’ll wake to views of mist rising over the rim and toast your love with champagne at the crater floor.

After the thrill of the wild, take a scenic flight to Zanzibar, where the tempo slows and the scenery turns to crystal-clear waters, white sands, and swaying palms. Check into a luxurious beach resort where spa treatments, barefoot walks, and romantic oceanfront dining await. Whether you're snorkeling in coral gardens, enjoying a sunset dhow cruise, or simply unwinding by the pool, Zanzibar offers the perfect post-safari paradise.

This honeymoon isn’t just a trip — it’s a curated celebration of your love, set in some of the world’s most breathtaking places.


The Great Migration Timetable
January – March

Calving season unfolds across the lush southern Serengeti. Over 500,000 newborn wildebeest are delivered, attracting predators and offering thrilling game viewing.

April – June

As the rains give way to golden grasslands, the herds begin their movement northwest, creating picturesque scenes across the Western Corridor.

July – September

This is the most dramatic period, as the herds cross the crocodile-infested Mara River. Ideal for witnessing high-stakes survival and iconic wildlife moments.

October – December

The herds make their journey south once more, passing through the central and eastern Serengeti in a quieter, more exclusive safari window.
