My wife and me booked the honeymoon tour which consists of 10 days safari and 5 days Zanzibar and had a wonderful holiday with lots of great memories.

Raymond was always available and quick to respond to any changes we asked. Before the trip he sent us the tour plan and we could talk about every detail to make it fit for our dream holidays.

I can only recommend booking with him. Our driver/guide was very friendly and knew all the right places to see animals and was very informative when asked but also quiet when you just wanted to let the images sink in.

On zanzibar we had a privat guide and driver who organised everything we asked for.

Tented Camps or Non-tented Camps

A common misconception is that there is a massive difference between tented camps, and non-tented options. The assumption is that tented lodges are “basic” and not fit for honeymoon luxury whilst wooden structured, solid lodges are more luxurious. In truth, some of the most luxurious camps in the country can have a canvas covering… As well as a pool, amazing food and all the amenities in the world. Likewise, some non-tented options like the Serengeti Serena offer permanent, solid walls – and granted – a pool, but the quality of the safari experience is somewhat under par in comparison to some excellent, authentic, safari-mad tented camps like the fantastic Lake Manze which would definitely provide a honeymoon to remember.

Mobile tented camps

The one exception is when it comes to “mobile tented camps”. Located in the Serengeti, they move two to three times throughout the year to be well positioned for the Great Migration. Because of their mobility they do not have pools, plumbing (though you still get manually heated showers), electricity is limited (but there!) and there are no solid structures, so you are most definitely in a tent… Even though it is a very luxurious tent nonetheless. The “camping” style of the mobile camps does not mean that they aren’t of the highest quality, but if you like big rooms and even bigger pools, then they may not be for you. We think the tented camps exude old school safari romance, so where possible, we will always recommend at least a few nights in one. Heading to a more overtly luxurious camp after this is a great way of mixing adventure and creature comforts and a killer combination. rewrite it according to this title”Luxury Tanzania and Zanzibar Honeymoon Safaris”

We felt we were in good hands every step of the way.

How much does a Luxury Tanzania and Zanzibar Honeymoon cost?

When planning your dream Luxury Tanzania and Zanzibar Honeymoon Safari, it’s helpful to understand the range of experiences available—and what you can expect to pay for each.

Safari Accommodation Costs

Tanzania offers an exceptional variety of safari accommodations, from beautifully styled tented camps to ultra-luxurious lodges. Prices for a safari typically start at around $450 per person per night, which includes all game drives, meals, and drinks. For those seeking the very best, top-tier lodges can reach $2,500 per person per night, offering unmatched privacy, service, and access to wildlife.

Zanzibar Beach Extensions

After your safari adventure, unwind on the idyllic beaches of Zanzibar. Beach accommodation is generally more affordable, with options starting at $180 per person per night. However, if you’re looking for a private island escape or a five-star beachfront villa, expect prices to rise to $1,700 per person per night at the most exclusive properties.

Internal Flights

To seamlessly transition from the wild plains of Tanzania to the turquoise waters of Zanzibar, we’ll organize your internal flights. These typically cost around $250 per person per leg, though this can vary depending on the route and season.

When to go on a Luxury Tanzania and Zanzibar Honeymoon?

Tanzania offers warm tropical weather year-round, with temperatures averaging 25°C+, making it a great honeymoon destination any time. However, July to September is considered the best time to visit—expect dry weather, amazing wildlife encounters, and perfect conditions for combining a luxury safari with a romantic Zanzibar beach escape.

If you’re planning to relax on the beach, avoid April and May, which bring the heaviest rains—less ideal for lounging by the ocean or enjoying island sunsets.

For safari-focused honeymoons on a tighter budget, the green season (April–May) can be surprisingly rewarding. Lush scenery, fewer crowds, and dramatically lower prices on luxury camps make it a hidden gem—just be prepared for some showers and muddier roads.

June and October are fantastic shoulder-season months, offering great weather, excellent wildlife viewing, and luxury lodges at reduced rates—a perfect balance of value and experience for honeymooners.

Every season has something unique to offer. Whether you’re chasing the Great Migration, soaking up sun on Zanzibar’s beaches, or seeking a private escape in the wild, our team can help craft the perfect time and itinerary for your unforgettable honeymoon in Tanzania and Zanzibar.

How to go on a Tanzania safari and Zanzibar honeymoon?

A honeymoon in Tanzania offers something truly special—the perfect balance of safari excitement and tropical relaxation. One of its biggest advantages is how easy it is to go from the savannah to the sea. After exploring iconic parks like the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater, you can be on the pristine beaches of Zanzibar, Pemba, or the mainland coast in just a short flight—no long layovers or complicated transfers.

This seamless connection means you spend less time traveling and more time enjoying luxurious lodges, romantic sunsets, and barefoot strolls along the Indian Ocean. While destinations like Mauritius or Seychelles are tempting, they often require overnight stops and extra travel time. Staying within Tanzania allows you to upgrade your accommodation or enjoy exclusive honeymoon extras—like private beach dinners or couples’ spa treatments.

Whether you want adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, Tanzania and Zanzibar deliver an unforgettable honeymoon experience. Talk to our experts to plan your perfect romantic escape.

Make your honeymoon special with Great Image Expedition

In Southern Tanzania, many boutique lodges and tented camps are owner-run, offering a level of intimacy and personalized service that’s perfect for a romantic honeymoon. These hidden gems provide a warm, welcoming atmosphere where every detail is tailored to you—ideal for couples looking to make their trip truly unforgettable.

Tips to Enhance Your Honeymoon Experience:

  • Start Slow: Give yourself a chance to relax after the wedding. A beach-safari-beach itinerary is a great way to unwind, explore, and reconnect.

  • Plan Your Arrival Wisely: While it might be tempting to save on flights, arriving in the middle of the night isn’t the best way to begin your honeymoon. Aim for a daytime arrival for a smoother, more enjoyable start.

  • Quality Over Quantity: Safari adventures can be intense. Instead of cramming in multiple stops, choose a shorter, high-end safari for a more luxurious, intimate experience.

With over 20 years of experience crafting honeymoons in Tanzania, we know how to elevate your journey. From securing the best lodges to offering exclusive deals like 50% off for the bride, we make sure your honeymoon is as effortless as it is extraordinary.
