10-Day Tanzania Honeymoon Safari & Zanzibar

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where your Emnel Adventures representative will meet you and provide a private transfer to Arusha. Settle into your accommodation and enjoy a relaxed evening before your Tanzania honeymoon safari begins. If time allows, your safari team will brief you on the journey ahead, including the wildlife areas and destinations you will explore over the coming days.

After breakfast, travel from Arusha to Tarangire National Park for your first safari experience. Known for its ancient baobab trees and large elephant herds, Tarangire offers excellent opportunities to see giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, antelope and abundant birdlife. Enjoy a game drive through the park before continuing to your lodge or tented camp for a relaxed evening surrounded by the landscapes of northern Tanzania.

After breakfast, leave Tarangire and travel towards the legendary Serengeti National Park, passing through the changing landscapes of northern Tanzania and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. As you approach the Serengeti, the scenery opens into vast grasslands where wildlife can begin appearing along the route. Enter the park with a game drive en route to your lodge or tented camp, with opportunities to see zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, buffalo and, with luck, predators such as lion and cheetah. Arrive in the Serengeti for your first evening beneath the African sky.

Spend a full day exploring the Serengeti with your private safari guide, following wildlife activity across its vast plains, woodlands and river areas. The Serengeti is home to large herds of wildebeest and zebra, as well as lion, cheetah, leopard, elephant, buffalo and giraffe. Your route will be adapted to the season, recent wildlife sightings and your interests, giving you time to stop for photography and enjoy the landscape without rushing between destinations. Return to your lodge or camp in the evening after a full day in the African wilderness.

Enjoy another day in the Serengeti, with your private guide tailoring the safari around wildlife activity, seasonal conditions and your interests. Explore different areas of the park in search of lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, buffalo, zebra and wildebeest, while taking time to appreciate the vast landscapes of the Serengeti. For your honeymoon, the day can be made especially memorable with a private bush breakfast or sundowner, creating time to enjoy the wilderness together away from the usual safari routine.

Leave the Serengeti early and travel towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for a memorable safari in the Ngorongoro Crater. Descend into the crater for a game drive through its diverse habitats, where you may see lion, elephant, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, hippo and hyena. After the crater experience, continue to the appropriate airstrip for your scheduled flight to Zanzibar, subject to the day's flight schedule. On arrival, meet your private transfer and continue to your beach accommodation, where the safari adventure gives way to a more relaxed honeymoon experience on the Indian Ocean.

Wake up beside the Indian Ocean and begin the relaxed second chapter of your honeymoon at RIU Palace Zanzibar. After the early starts and wildlife-filled days of your safari, today is yours to slow down and enjoy the resort's beautiful beachfront setting. Spend time on the white-sand beach, swim in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, relax by the pool or enjoy the resort's all-inclusive facilities. For couples who want to explore, optional activities such as snorkelling, diving or a private sunset dhow cruise can be arranged.

Today offers the opportunity to discover a different side of Zanzibar beyond its beaches. Explore the historic streets of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Swahili, Arab, Indian and European influences have shaped the island's distinctive culture. You can also visit a traditional spice farm to learn about Zanzibar's famous cloves, cinnamon, vanilla and other tropical spices. Return to RIU Palace Zanzibar in the afternoon for time to relax by the beach or enjoy the resort.

Enjoy a relaxed final full day in Zanzibar at RIU Palace Zanzibar, with time to make the most of the Indian Ocean. Spend the morning at leisure on the beach or by the pool, or choose an optional marine experience such as snorkelling or diving. In the afternoon, set out on a traditional Zanzibar dhow cruise and watch the sun set over the Indian Ocean — a memorable way to end your honeymoon before returning to the resort for your final evening.
