Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you’ll be met and transferred to your lodge in Arusha. Enjoy a relaxing evening surrounded by lush gardens as you prepare for your upcoming safari adventure.
Optional activities include a visit to a local coffee estate or a romantic candlelit dinner under the stars.
Day 3–4: Tarangire National Park
Begin your safari in Tarangire National Park, known for its ancient baobab trees and large elephant herds. Game drives reveal lions, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest grazing across the golden savannah.
Spend your evenings in a tented camp or lodge overlooking the Tarangire River, where elephants often gather at sunset.
Day 5–6: Ngorongoro Crater
Travel to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” Descend into the crater for one of the best wildlife viewing experiences in Africa — where lions, rhinos, buffalo, and flamingos coexist in a stunning natural amphitheater.
Stay at a romantic lodge perched on the crater rim, offering panoramic views and private suites perfect for honeymooners.
Day 7–9: Serengeti National Park
Fly or drive into the Serengeti, Tanzania’s most iconic safari destination and home to the Great Migration. Enjoy morning and evening game drives to witness herds of wildebeest, zebras, and predators on the move.

End your honeymoon with a private sunset cruise or a romantic dinner on the beach.

Best Time to Visit Tanzania for a Honeymoon

The best time for wildlife viewing and comfortable beach weather. Clear skies and warm temperatures make it ideal for combining safari and seaside relaxation.
Green Season (January – March):
Witness the Serengeti calving season, when thousands of wildebeest give birth. Expect lush landscapes, fewer tourists, and dramatic skies — perfect for photography.
Rainy Season (April – May):
A quieter time to visit, with discounted rates and vibrant green scenery. Some areas may be wetter, but it’s an excellent choice for couples seeking solitude.
