A slice of the Serengeti all to yourselves

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

If you're dreaming of a honeymoon that blends once-in-a-lifetime adventure with unmatched luxury, this extraordinary journey is the perfect choice. From the remote corners of the Serengeti to the serene shores of Zanzibar, this trip offers the ideal balance of thrilling exploration, unforgettable wildlife encounters, and ultimate relaxation.

Ottilie, our Tanzania specialist, says:

“This honeymoon is perfect for couples who want to experience the best of both worlds. In the Serengeti, you’ll get up close with Africa’s wildlife during game drives through stunning landscapes. You aren’t just going on safari – you’re stepping into the heart of one of the world’s most iconic natural events: The Great Wildebeest Migration. Then, Zanzibar’s beaches provide the perfect spot to unwind, relax, and enjoy quiet time together. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, allowing you to connect with nature – and each other – in a way that feels both exciting and peaceful.”

Your adventure begins with a night in Arusha, followed by an immersive experience in the Serengeti, where you’ll explore areas few ever get to see. Venture into protected zones and discover untouched plains, rolling hills, and river valleys teeming with wildlife.

Depending on the season, Olakira Mobile Camp moves between the north and south to give you a front-row seat to the Great Wildebeest Migration. The setup ensures you're always in the right place at the right time, offering an immersive, off-the-grid safari experience. With predators lurking nearby and breathtaking landscapes all around, this is a wildlife experience like no other.

After your safari, it’s time to unwind on the powdery white sands of Zanzibar, where your luxury beachfront villa awaits. Enjoy a romantic dinner on the shores of the Indian Ocean, under the stars. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters and swaying palm trees, it’s the perfect place to relax, recharge, and celebrate the start of your new life together.

January

January is mixed when it comes to weather, temperatures rise whilst the chance of rain and humidity increases. It is still a good time to go, as the rates are lower yet the game viewing is still excellent.
