7 Day Romantic Itinerary: Safari and Zanzibar
An African honeymoon is unlike any other as it offers the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. From thrilling game drives through wilderness areas and evenings under a canopy of stars, to island life of sandy white beaches, tropical waters and lazy days on the shores of the Indian Ocean – there is something for everyone.
Tanzania is lucky to offer visitors a wealth of different wilderness and coastal destinations, so in this itinerary we wanted to present you with two differing bush beach combinations to choose from. The first includes your classic bucket-list destinations of the Serengeti and Zanzibar, while the other is a more off the beaten path, offering more exclusivity on the southern circuit with the watery wilderness of Nyerere National Park combined with your own private island, Fanjove, located south of the Mafia Archipelago.
Please note many of our itineraries are available at varying levels of luxury: ‘simple’, ‘classic’, 'exclusive' and ‘upgrade’. Use our itineraries for ideas on how to combine camps, regions and a range of experiences. Enquire when ready, and our expert staff will help customise your dream safari holiday that meets all your travel requirements.
