This 12-day private Tanzania and Zanzibar honeymoon safari pairs the Northern Circuit's best wildlife with a beach escape on the Indian Ocean. You travel in your own private 4x4 Land Cruiser — pop-up roof, fridge, Wi-Fi, charging ports — with your own driver-guide and no strangers on board. Six nights on safari cover Lake Manyara, Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. The remaining nights are yours on Zanzibar's beaches, from Stone Town's alleys to the white sand of Nungwi and Kendwa.
This is the private Tanzania honeymoon safari package built for couples who want the Great Migration, the Ngorongoro Crater floor, and a barefoot beach finale — without sharing a vehicle or an itinerary with anyone else.
