There are many reasons as to why Tanzania is one of the most popular destinations for wedding safaris, honeymooners or simply couples looking for an exclusive adventure away from home. Tanzania has over sixteen (16) national parks, together comprising an area of more than 42,000 km2, and home to the world famous Mount Kilimanjaro (second highest mountain in the world), Serengeti (Passage of The Great Migration), Ngorongoro (The Crater – Eighth world wonder), Selous and the mythical island of Zanzibar, just to mention a few, a number of which also offer International 5-star luxury resorts and service, with Michelin star culinary, beit modern European with an African twist or luxury tented camp style accommodation.
Tanzania offers both a memorable, completely natural wildlife safari game drives, which makes the adventure so special, whilst there is still the opportunity to relax on idyllic beaches afterwards (or before) whilst indulging in a little luxury and pampering throughout. The ‘safari and beach’ formula does offer many couples the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation.
However, in order to make sure your trip is perfect in every way, you need 100% accurate and impartial advice on all aspects of your journey, and a tour guide to not only appreciate your preferences but genuinely care about your trip. Good advice and attention to detail are crucial factors to the success of your special journey. As a small, specialist company, we understand these requirements and our consultants will strive to ensure your whole research, booking and travelling experience is a close to ‘perfect’ as possible.
There are a few more reasons, as to why wedding /honeymoon safaris are becoming increasingly popular.
Firstly, the level of personal service provided in many safari camps is second-to-none. Provided you choose your safari correctly, you can expect wonderful service, with camp managers and local staff genuinely caring about you and your stay. For a honeymoon safari this is imperative (private dinners etc.) but for a ‘bush wedding’ it is absolutely crucial. If you wish to enjoy good, friendly service and be made to feel ‘special’.
Secondly, you do not need to sacrifice too much comfort in order to experience ‘the real thing’. For couples looking for an authentic bush experience, without being too adventurous, there are many suitable options to consider. Great food and service, hot showers, cold drinks, flush toilets and comfortable beds are all available without sacrificing on the wildlife viewing or overall ‘bush experience’. If you are seeking a luxury safari, all the way, suitable options are bountiful.
Thirdly, the people you meet will add to your whole experience. You may feel that a honeymoon or wedding ‘abroad’ is all about privacy and exclusivity, which of course it can be. However, whilst you will have all the personal space and privacy you require, you will also be hosted by exceptional people. In particular, your guides play a very important role in the success of your adventure, and really can add to your experience. Even if you do not plan to be especially social, the personal and intimate atmosphere of safari camps can really add ‘warmth’ to your trip.
For couples planning a wedding safari, Tanzania will offer you the most memorable and stunning locations for an intimate weddings or honeymoons. We can also guarantee management and staff who will really care about your experience.
