Honeymoon Safari to Serengeti and Beyond

Looking for honeymoon inspiration? Kick off your marriage on an adventurous safari in Tanzania, bringing you eye to eye with the world’s most majestic wildlife on the world’s richest savannah.

We have had the pleasure of organizing many honeymoon holidays and recently had one of our couples share their experience with us. To put it in their words, “The entire experience was a trip of a lifetime. The wildlife was even more incredible than we could have imagined.”

They have given us a sneak peek into the beautiful adventure that is a safari. (If planning your own adventures in Tanzania, browse our selection of African Safaris in Tanzania

On a honeymoon safari, a baboon is perched atop a vehicle, gripping an antenna, set against a blurred natural background.

When we first entered the park I was excited we spotted a baboon way off in the distance barely visible with binoculars. I then quickly realized they are everywhere in the park, and not at all shy.”

On a honeymoon safari, a cheetah stands on the grass, gazing elegantly towards the camera.  On a serene safari honeymoon, a lion cub playfully licks the ear of another cub, nestled together on the lush grass.  Two lions sleeping on the ground, one male with a mane and a female with lighter fur, resting closely together. Their peaceful slumber reflects the tranquility of a honeymoon safari, with grass whispering tales in the background.

During the evening, we were able to track down two cheetahs – mom and cub – in the open plains. Just after that, we went to a pride of 19 lions (6 lionesses, 12 cubs, and a nearby lion) sleeping in the open fields with some jackals nearby.”

On a serene honeymoon safari, a zebra and its foal stand closely together in a grassy field, other zebras blurred elegantly in the background.

I don’t know how many thousands (tens of thousands?) of zebra we saw, but I never got tired of watching them. We were there during the calving season of the great migration, so there were many foals around, just a few days old.”

On a honeymoon safari, a vulture with brown feathers and a red head perches gracefully on a tree branch, surrounded by bare branches.  On a honeymoon safari, a lioness with blood stains around her mouth stands near a carcass in a grassy area, glancing back over her shoulder.

On the way back to Ngorongoro we passed the original lion kill (zebra) we saw first thing in the morning. Just as we got there (to the lion kill), there were dozens (maybe a hundred) vultures in the air, trees and on the ground waiting for their turn. Our timing was incredible, as we got there the lioness left the zebra and the vultures all swarmed it.”

A small antelope with large ears and reddish-brown fur looks back while standing in a grassy area, a perfect glimpse for couples on a honeymoon safari.  An elephant strolls along a dirt path in a grassy landscape, offering an unforgettable sight on a romantic honeymoon safari.  Warthogs and antelopes roam in a grassy field, with some grazing and others standing alert, set against a blurred green landscape—a perfect backdrop for a honeymoon safari.
   
 

Wake up. Eat breakfast. Spend the day driving around beautiful landscapes where you never know what surprise lays around every corner. Marvel at the wildlife. Eat dinner. Sleep. Repeat. I am ready to go back when you are Leanne.”
