12 Days Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Honeymoon Escape

This 12-day Tanzania and Zanzibar honeymoon is designed for couples seeking romance with just the right touch of adventure.

Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, where majestic elephant herds set the tone for new beginnings. From there, you continue to the Serengeti—vast, wildlife-filled plains that greet you with breathtaking sunrises, possibly enjoyed from a hot-air balloon. The Ngorongoro Crater then offers an unrivalled backdrop for capturing your most memorable honeymoon moments. To conclude, you fly to Zanzibar for pure romantic bliss—powder-white beaches, turquoise waters and exquisite island resorts. With Tanzania Wildlife Voyages, this private safari ensures you travel entirely at your own pace, accompanied by your own vehicle and expert guide.

When is the best time to visit Tanzania?

Many travelers often wonder about the best time to visit Tanzania. The truth is—there isn’t a single perfect answer. It really depends on what you want to experience, the regions you wish to explore, your budget, and personal preferences. Tanzania Wildlife Voyages has put together a detailed guide to help you decide the ideal time for your visit.

Dry Season (June to October & December to February):

These months are considered prime for both safaris and beach holidays. The weather is pleasant, and wildlife viewing is exceptional. However, do keep in mind that accommodation rates are higher, and popular parks and attractions can get crowded.

Mid Season (March & November):

If you prefer fewer crowds and moderate prices, this period is a great choice. The weather can be unpredictable, and certain sites may have limited access due to rains. Still, you can enjoy rewarding wildlife encounters and a more laid-back safari atmosphere.

Wet Season (April & May):

Best suited for budget travelers, this season comes with the lowest accommodation costs and the least crowded destinations. While heavy rains transform the landscapes into lush, green scenery, they may also cause disruptions to travel plans.

These ancient trees, which can live for centuries, serve as a vital water source for elephants during the dry season, as they skillfully extract moisture from the trunks. The Tarangire River, being the only reliable water source during this time, attracts huge gatherings of wildlife — with herds of up to 250 elephants alongside countless other animals.
