Romantic Serengeti Honeymoon Safaris

Any honeymoon in Tanzania should include a visit to the famous Serengeti National Park. It is regarded as the oldest national park in Tanzania, and the flagship of the country’s tourism industry. The park is famous for the annual Great Migration which sees more than 1.5 million wildebeest and zebras trekking up to 1,000km across the dry terrain in search of water and greener grazing ground. The enormous stretch of rolling savannahs dotted with beautiful lakes is known across the globe for its abundance of wildlife. Considering the varieties of wildlife on the open plains of the region, the Serengeti is the perfect adventure for honeymooners who want to blend their romance with unforgettable adventures in the wild.

Experience ‘The Great Migration’

This is undoubtedly one of the epic moments of a lifetime that honeymooners can share together. The Great Migration is often regarded as ‘the world cup’ of wildlife and is the highlight of a honeymoon in Tanzania. You can experience the Great Migration at any time during the year but especially between June and October is popular due to the so-called river crossing where you get the rare opportunity of witnessing millions of wildebeest together with thousands of zebras and antelopes crossing the big Mara River with crocodiles and lions waiting for a chance. Another great time to visit is during the first quarter of the year where you can witness thousands of young wildebeest being born. Perfect for a romantic experience in the wild.

Exclusive Bush breakfast

A romantic bush breakfast can be orchestrated for honeymooners in the Serengeti wild. On waking up with your spouse, an amazing table with fine linen, fresh African bloom, and a scenic view is organized to ensure honeymooners kick start their daily routine with a touch of ‘wild class’. The chef prepares tasty dishes with a choice of eggs, bacon, bread, sausages, jam, marmalade, milk, assorted juices, and various pastries to delight the taste buds of the couple. A bottle of champagne accompanies the breakfast as a gift to the newlyweds.

Lunch picnic

Lunch picnics are usually arranged during the game drives in the Serengeti. Since couples mostly don’t get a chance to have lunch at the lodge, they carry their lunch with them and get to stop at some strategic spots to have a nice romantic picnic in the wild. This allows couples to have a different feel outside the lodge as they share this moment together.

Hot Air Ballooning

A ‘birds-eye’ view of the Serengeti plains is an enchanting experience honeymooners at the Serengeti will definitely want to cross off their bucket list.
