A well-balanced honeymoon typically spans 12 to 16 days, allowing time for a 5–7 day safari in Tanzania followed by 5–7 days unwinding on Zanzibar or one of Tanzania’s other magical islands.

If you want to visit Serengeti, you’ll need a minimum of 4 full safari days, due to the long driving distancees. 5 or more is ideal for a comfortable and unrushed experience. This gives you time to explore multiple parks without feeling rushed..

These estimates do not include your arrival and departure days or any time you might want for extra activities or rest days. We’re happy to help tailor the itinerary to your travel style and pace.

Yes, Tanzania is considered a safe destination for honeymooners. The main tourist areas, including the national parks and Zanzibar, are well-established and frequently visited by international travelers.

As with any country, it’s important to use common sense. Avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas, keep your valuables secure, and follow local guidance.

As a guideline, a 14-day honeymoon (including around 5 days on safari and 7 days on Zanzibar) typically starts from around $450 USD per person per day for the safari portion, based on mid-range accommodations for 2 persons. This includes private 4×4 transport, a professional guide, park fees, and full board.

The Zanzibar portion is often more affordable, since there are fewer logistical costs such as park fees or vehicle hire. Luxury beach resorts, boutique hotels, and romantic extras like spa treatments or private dinners can be added depending on your preferences.

In the end the cost of a honeymoon in Tanzania and Zanzibar depends on your choice of accommodations, travel style, and activities—but we’re here to tailor everything to your budget.

Tanzania is a year-round safari destination. However; the dry season (June to October) is ideal for safaris, offering excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. For beach relaxation in Zanzibar, January to March also provides warm and sunny conditions. Keep in mind that April and May are the long rainy seasons, which might affect travel plans.

It’s advisable to book 6 to 12 months in advance, especially if you’re planning to travel during peak seasons (June–October and December–February). Early booking ensures availability in preferred accommodations and allows ample time for personalized itinerary planning.

Yes, most travelers need a visa to enter Tanzania, which also covers Zanzibar. You do not need a separate visa for the island, as both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar are part of the same country.

Visas can usually be obtained on arrival at the airport or applied for online in advance through Tanzania’s official e-visa system. It’s recommended to check the latest entry requirements based on your nationality before you travel.

Game drives can be as long as you like within park regulations. There’s no ‘2 drives of 1.5 hours’. Most national parks operate on a sunrise-to-sunset schedule, and entry fees typically cover 24 hours with a single entry.

If you’re staying overnight inside the park, you have the flexibility to plan your drives however you prefer—go out early for a sunrise safari, return for breakfast or lunch, and head out again in the afternoon. This allows you to experience different wildlife activity throughout the day at your own pace.

Yes, it’s recommended to consult your healthcare provider before traveling to Tanzania and Zanzibar. Common vaccinations may include yellow fever, hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and tetanus. Malaria is present in many areas, so taking antimalarial medication is often advised.

It’s also a good idea to bring insect repellent, sunscreen, and a basic medical kit with any personal medications you may need.

A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is mandatory if you’re arriving from or transiting through a country with risk of Yellow Fever transmission. It’s also recommended to consult with a healthcare provider about malaria medications and other routine vaccinations.

Yes. Your itinerary can be fully tailored to your preferences. You can choose which destinations to visit, what level of accommodation you prefer, and which activities you want to include, such as a hot air balloon safari, romantic beach dinners, or cultural experiences.

Yes, we ensure all your dietary needs are communicated clearly to each lodge and camp. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, or have specific allergies, you can relax knowing you’ll be well taken care of throughout your honeymoon.

Most of the hand-picked lodges and tented camps we work with provide electricity and basic Wi-Fi access, depending on the area. While connections may be limited in remote areas, it’s a great excuse to unplug and be fully present in the moment.

Tipping in Tanzania is a common practice and an important source of income for many in the
hospitality and tourism sector. While we’ve offered suggested amounts, tipping should ultimately
reflect your satisfaction and experience.

If you’re traveling privately as a family, a tip of $20 – $25 per group per day is appropriate.
Tipping for cooks, rangers and similar roles typically ranges around $5 per person per day.

For local employees at hotels and similar establishments, a small tip of $1 is a kind gesture to
acknowledge their assistance.

We strongly recommend it. Travel insurance provides peace of mind in case of cancellations, delays, medical issues, or lost luggage. Make sure your policy includes medical evacuation, especially if you’ll be visiting remote safari areas.

Your funds are protected through a recognized guarantee fund. This ensures your money is secure in the unlikely event of changes or cancellations beyond your control.
