Tanzania is a wildly romantic place for a honeymoon. The striking wildlife, remote and romantic lodges and camps, quiet beauty and spectacular national parks make Tanzania not just an ideal place for your honeymoon, but a place to have the adventure of a lifetime.

Newlyweds visiting Tanzania will discover a country that’s slightly off the beaten track, yet still able to offer its guests thrilling safaris with luxurious accommodation in extraordinary places.

Tanzania is the largest country in East Africa, boasting a large number of amazing safari destinations, and some of the best beaches and islands in Africa. Tanzania is also home to the greatest wildlife show on earth – the Great Migration, Witness this true wonder of nature as you watch hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebra and other herd animals migrate across the endless African plains. Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, offers rocky trails and muddy slopes that challenge climbers up to a stately snow-capped summit. Your reward: the thrill of standing at the top with breathtaking views. The North is an area of untamed natural beauty, rolling hills, rivers, forests and open plains. There, you can explore the world famous Serengeti National Park, the geographical marvel that is the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara National Park. The Southern Safari Circuit is equally stunning and much less populated with travelers – it contains the Selous Game Reserve, Africa’s largest game reserve.
After all those early morning game drives and action-packed days on safari, winding down at your own pace on a secluded tropical beach could be the perfect ending to your Tanzanian honeymoon. That’s right, stunning natural landscapes and wildlife aren’t the only things that enchant honeymooners.
