The decision is yours, but you can certainly spend some time at the beach before going on a safari.
Where to go in Tanzania on your honeymoon safari
Tanzania is divided into two regions when it comes to safari destinations: the well-known "Northern Circuit" and the off-the-beaten-path south.
Our top picks for honeymooners in the North are
The views from the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater will leave you speechless. The Crater is well worth a visit for the breathtaking views alone, but it's also home to some incredible big game, like enormous tusker elephants, sizable lion prides, and herds of buffalo that frequently challenge the big cats.
The Serengeti - Every time you and your partner embark on a traditional game drive, you will be mesmerized by this national park, from witnessing the Great Migration to spotting the big cats that follow the herds!
Both are incredibly dense with wildlife, including all five members of the Big Five.
However, there is a lot to see in the South as well, particularly in.
Ruaha National Park is the largest national park in Tanzania and is in the middle of the country, making it a great place to visit. It is predator-rich and off-the-beaten-path, and the office loves it just for the price!
In The Selous. A world of water, the Selous is home to wonderful wildlife, boat excursions, and palm trees. This reserve is ideal for a peaceful and intimate safari!
Family game drives
Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater game drives are particularly memorable. You'll be able to explore far from the crowds if you book a hotel that provides a private vehicle for your family. Additionally, these places provide enjoyable cultural activities for people of all ages. While kids can meet the neighborhood kids, adults can enjoy interacting with community members who are of working age and the elderly.
Family activities in the Serengeti
When it comes to kid-friendly safari activities, the Serengeti really shines. Just a few examples include tracking, making bows and arrows, and going for staff-led camp walks. Birds and smaller mammals can always be seen nearby the camp, and the staff is excellent at keeping kids entertained.
Family activities in the Selous
In the Selous, there’s fishing and canoeing, at least for older children. Walking has a minimum age requirement of 15 years, so this activity is available for mid- to late teenagers. Walks provide thrilling opportunities to experience the bush, offering a different perspective from game drives.
Family activities in Zanzibar
There are lots of activities available in Zanzibar as well, such as playing on the beach, participating in some water sports, and visiting spice farms, Jozani Forest, and tortoise-favorite Prison Island.
Family flying safaris
The most expensive accommodations in northern Tanzania are also accessible via flying safaris; these include the family-friendly Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, Serengeti Under Canvas, and Mnemba Island Lodge. Learn more about the benefits of choosing comfort and style while taking a breathtaking flying family safari tour of Tanzania.
The dry seasons, when game is easier to spot, are between July and October and from December to February in Tanzania. Consider May, November, and early December to avoid the crowds, though you should prepare for some rain. It is best to visit western or southern Tanzania from May through early October because the rest of the year can be very hot. Tanzania experiences prolonged rains in April and May, so plan accordingly for impassable roads and muddy, bumpy conditions. Camps in western and southern Tanzania are also closed during these months.
If you want to see the migration, go to the Serengeti in January through early March, in June or July, or in late October through mid-December (we'll recommend the best camp site based on your travel month). Keep in mind that global weather patterns are altering, which has an impact on how animals move around.
