Tanzania is a beautiful place for a honeymoon. Beautiful wildlife, stunning scenery and areas which are both remote and beautiful.

Tanzania is home to famous safari resorts like Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro and combining these with some beach relaxation is the perfect Tanzania honeymoon.

Newlyweds who travel to Tanzania will find beautiful lodges and camps set in stunning surroundings with luxurious rooms all in a unique setting. Honeymoon specials often include visiting the great migration, nature walks in the wild, and dinner under the stars all of which are experiences that will stay in your memories forever.

Why a Tanzania honeymoon?

Tanzania is the ultimate romantic’s dream. The long Indian Ocean coastline is littered with beautiful sun soaked coral islands and some of the most exclusive, yet unpretentious accommodations found anywhere in the world. What could be more perfect?

Your honeymoon should be as unique as you are, so whether you are looking to relax on a secluded beach or experience the magic of a safari, talk to us, and we can make it happen.

Many honeymooners opt for a combination of safari and beach, but if that sounds like too much, why not just head straight for the beach? There are now loads of world class boutique properties to choose from.

Your honeymoon should be as individual as you are and we want you to feel as excited about your honeymoon as you are about your new lives together. Many of our hotels provide those little extras to make your stay even more magical. Be it a champagne breakfast in bed, a romantic candlelit dinner on the beach, or even a complimentary spa treatment, we have sourced some excellent offers, exclusive to honeymooners, at some of the Indian Oceans finest hotels.

Just take a moment to try and imagine a more romantic setting than the magical Island of Zanzibar, with its pristine white sandy beaches, warm azure waters and tropical sunsets.

Wedding in Zanzibar

While most islands can boast of being ideal for your dream wedding, not many islands in the world can pull a holistic and picture-perfect wedding like Zanzibar. Located off the coast of Tanzania, Zanzibar archipelago is not only natural, picturesque and scenic; it also has an array of settings in which you can have your wedding.

Weddings can acquire diverse tastes and appearances in Zanzibar. While others prefer the conventional wedding on a beach, you can take yours a notch higher; you can exchange your vows while enjoying a perfect ride on a dhow or have a “princely” wedding in the ruins of the palace in Stone Town.

As a wedding is a one-off affair, you need an all-inclusive wedding package from a reputable planner or facility. In Zanzibar, several hotels and resorts offer packages that are best-tailored to suffice your every want.

Here is a compilation of the best hotels in Zanzibar that provide first-rate wedding facilities and honeymoons:

Pongwe Beach Hotel

Located in a tranquil bay in the northeast of Zanzibar, Pongwe Beach Hotel is a world-accredited resort that offers cutting edge wedding services. The hotel is conveniently situated in Pongwe Beach which is known to be idyllic and perfect for occasions like a wedding.

With world class accommodation and top-notch catering services, the hotel is a strong candidate for your wedding venue.

The perfect wedding is concluded by an incredible honeymoon possibly within the same facility. It is, therefore, imperative that choose a facility that is not only holistic but can also provide a package that is tailor-made to your specifications.

Our Insider Guide For Tanzanian Honeymoons

Make sure we know you are going on honeymoon from Day 1 – many lodges offer special deals or packages for honeymooners.
Do the safari first then the beach. You will appreciate the beach so much more.
We recommend NOT starting a safari straight after the wedding. You will be tired! Plan it well and travel when you are ready.
Budget – to save money mix up luxury and basic accommodation. Even dropping 1 safari day can save a lot.
View our top rated lodges – these offer in our opinion the best destinations on the island. The South of Tanzania offers smaller boutique lodges and camps which are often owner-run. This gives a more personal and intimate safari experience, which we feel is a vital element of a Tanzania honeymoon.
We usually send our honeymooners on Southern circuit Safaris – these are using smaller more intimate tented camps and give a much more authentic & romantic honeymoon.
Don’t try and do too much. Safari is probably the best honeymoon you can do… but it can be quite full on! It is much better to have a shorter (4 night) safari somewhere really luxurious, rather than a longer safari of dubious quality.
