A slice of the Serengeti all to yourselves

The romantic wilderness of Northern Tanzania combined with Zanzibar's white-sand beaches creates the perfect backdrop for the ultimate honeymoon.

If you're looking for a honeymoon that combines unforgettable adventure with exceptional luxury, this unique journey through Northern Tanzania is the perfect choice. From the remote corners of the Serengeti to the tranquil beaches of Zanzibar, this trip offers the ideal mix of exploration, wildlife encounters, and relaxation.

Your journey begins with an immersive experience in the Serengeti, where you'll have the chance to explore wilderness areas rarely visited by others. Venture into protected zones and discover the landscape on foot, walking through undisturbed plains, rolling hills, and river valleys teeming with wildlife. The area is home to incredible diversity, from elephants and lions to hidden gems like the hippo pools and flamingo-filled lakes. Your adventure also includes game drives on the Ngorongoro Crater floor, where you'll have the chance to see the famous tree-climbing lions in Lake Manyara National Park.

As you explore, you’ll stay in a mix of stylish lodges and intimate bush camps, offering the perfect blend of comfort and adventure. Each day ends with a sundowner on a rocky kopje, watching the vibrant colours of the African sunset. Evenings are spent enjoying candlelit dinners and relaxing under a star-studded sky, far from the light pollution of the modern world.

Our South Africa specialist, Ottilie, says:

“This honeymoon is perfect for couples who want to experience the best of both worlds. In the Serengeti, you’ll get to see Africa’s wildlife up close with safaris and walks through stunning landscapes. Then, Zanzibar’s beaches offer the perfect spot to unwind, relax, and enjoy some quiet time together. It’s a really nice mix of adventure and relaxation, and a great way to connect with nature - and each other - in a way that feels both exciting and peaceful.”
