Recommended Honeymoon Safari Destinations
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti is one of the most romantic and wildlife-rich destinations in Africa. Its endless plains are home to lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes and enormous herds of wildebeest and zebras.
Depending on the season, honeymooners may also witness the Great Migration. Romantic tented camps inside the park allow couples to fall asleep while listening to the sounds of the African wilderness.
Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater offers exceptional wildlife viewing within a spectacular volcanic landscape. During a crater game drive, couples may encounter lions, elephants, buffaloes, hippos and the rare black rhinoceros.
The highlands surrounding the crater contain beautiful lodges with panoramic views, fireplaces and intimate dining experiences.
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is famous for its large elephant herds, enormous baobab trees and peaceful atmosphere. It is especially rewarding during the dry season, when wildlife gathers near the Tarangire River.
The park is an excellent destination for the beginning or end of a romantic Tanzania safari.
Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara is a compact but beautiful park featuring forests, open plains and views of the Rift Valley escarpment. Wildlife may include elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, monkeys, hippos and flamingos.
It can easily be included in a Northern Tanzania honeymoon itinerary.
