Untamed Tanzania, remote Pemba.

A honeymoon journey from Ruaha’s remote wilderness to the quiet shores of Pemba Island.

If you are starting to plan your honeymoon and want something truly special, this is it. Remote, uncrowded and wonderfully exclusive, it pairs the vast wilderness of Ruaha with the laid-back beauty of Pemba Island. Expect unforgettable wildlife encounters, unhurried days, and time to unwind at a barefoot luxury beach lodge, with the Indian Ocean at your feet.


Our Tanzania specialist, Otti, says:

“Most people think of the Serengeti when you mention Tanzania, but Ruaha is often overlooked, and it really should not be. For me, it is Tanzania’s best-kept safari secret. It sees a fraction of the visitors compared to the northern parks, which means far fewer vehicles and a much more exclusive experience, exactly what you want on a honeymoon. Wildlife here is outstanding, with strong lion prides, excellent leopard sightings, and one of the healthiest wild dog populations in the country. The camps are wonderfully remote, with incredible views straight out over the wilderness.

Rather than heading to Zanzibar afterwards, I love keeping that sense of remoteness going. Pemba Island pairs beautifully with Ruaha. It is a small, little-visited island north of Tanzania, and the lodge I have suggested feels like a jungle hideaway right on the beach. It is relaxed, intimate, and the food is excellent. Days are spent exactly as they should be on honeymoon, swimming, exploring the island, or simply reading a book with a cocktail in hand. It is complete bliss.”

You’ll start with four nights on safari in Ruaha, one of Tanzania’s largest and wildest parks. The camps here are widely spaced, so you’ll often feel like the only people in the wilderness. The camp I’ve suggested sits high on an escarpment, with unbelievable views straight from your room - the photos really don’t do it justice. There’s also a memorable sleep-out experience: it begins with a candlelit dinner under the stars, and then you sleep on a bed set between two gigantic boulders, under the open sky, surrounded by the sounds of Ruaha’s wildlife.

From Ruaha, you’ll fly to Pemba Island, part of the Zanzibar Archipelago. The island is uncrowded and blessed with stunning beaches, coral reefs, and hidden bays, offering some of the best diving and snorkelling in the region. The property I’ve suggested is exactly where jungle meets the Indian Ocean. Fundu Lagoon sits on a remote, pristine beach, and you reach it by boat, adding to the sense of adventure. It feels like a Robinson Crusoe-meets-boutique retreat, with a proper barefoot luxury vibe. There are plenty of activities if you wish, or you can simply unwind by the beach. It’s the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the romance after your safari.

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.

  • During this time migratory herds are in the Serengeti for calving season, meaning the Ndutu plains are busy.

February

The weather remains hot with a chance of rain in February.

  • Meanwhile in the Ndutu Plains the migration is still occurring.

March

March is the calm before the storm, before heavy rains and humidity builds. Visitors can take great advantage of lower rates during the low season.

  • Migrating herds start to leave Ndutu, heading West towards Grumeti.

April

April experiences continued periods of heavy rain, we would advise against travel due to the conditions.

May

During may there is periods of heavy rain, we would advise against travel due to the conditions.

June

June heralds the wet season, bringing lush green vegetation which can make spotting game more difficult. It is a particularly great time for birders as parks become populated by migratory birds especially in the South.

  • Migration is still in the Grumeti area, heading north.

July

July is the start of peak season, temperatures reach up to 30 degrees and the surrounding land becomes drier and spotting game is becoming easier.

  • The migration is in the Northern Serengeti moving towards Kenya.

August

August is peak season, with bush land drying out game spotting becomes much easier. If you want to experience Tanzania game at its best, August is the time to travel.

  • The migration still remains in the north.

September

Peak season continues in September, the Northern circuit can be very busy, if you want to avoid crowds it's best to visit the southern parks.

  • The end of the migration is still in the north with herds on both side of the Kenyan and Tanzanian borders.

October

Peak season continues into October with good game viewing in the Serengeti and southern parks.

  • The migration has now crossed over into Kenya.

November

November is the start of the rainy season, the rains tend to be overnight so it is still a popular time to travel. During this month you can take advantage of low season rates.

  • Migration crossing over into the Serengeti can be seen a the Tanzania and Kenya border.

December

Rains continue in December, whilst the temperature and humidity start to build. Venturing out on safari is generally good, with large game still easily spotted.

  • Migrating herds in the north travel south back to Ndutu.

What can I say….my son and myself had the most wonderful time in Kenya thanks to the first-class itinerary that Ben and Louise put together for us. We spoke with Ben many times to ensure he ‘got it right’. This was our 2nd visit to Kenya, and it certainly lived up to our expectations and memories. Nothing was too much trouble for all the staff; we cannot have been looked after any better. I would highly recommend Far and Wild; they are so knowledgeable and have personally visited the lodges and areas. We are already planning another visit, and we cannot wait.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. It was good value for the level of luxury we had.

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps was ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
