Why choose Serengeti as your Honeymoon Destination?
Nothing compares to the romance that the Serengeti offers away from the cities and other beach resorts. It allows you to be fully present and with nature. There are no crowds, just untamed nature, open spaces, and soft golden light as you soak in the beginning of your marriage in peace.
Compared to the traditional honeymoons, the Serengeti safari provides you with lifelong bonding memories that you will share as a couple.
Imagine the sunsets as you watch a herd of elephants, or the soft distant pouring of the lions as you dose off. Those memories will last a lifetime as compared to spa treatments. Everything will be better because you will be fully present and fully in it.
As newlyweds, we get the importance of streamlined comfort. Therefore, coupled with your private game drives, we also include private dining set up. As well as outdoor showers and outdoor meals, your privacy is guaranteed. The Serengeti gives you to be as wild and luxurious as possible and that is what we strive to offer for your honeymoon.
Best time for Serengeti Honeymoon safari
The Serengeti honeymoon safaris may be done all year, but when planning a visit, it usually comes down to what experience you wish to have.
Wildlife continues to flourish, and the weather is much cooler from June to October. Animals become easier to spot and the Great Migration is happening in the northern Serengeti.
If action packed photography is what you’re looking for, then this period is meant for you. Expect to be sharing the park with lots of other tourists, so bookings should be done in advance.
The period of December to March is best for those looking for a more gentler experience. It is the calving season, so the southern plains look greener, and the number of tourists is lower. Honeymooners and couples can expect a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy the company of wild animals such as the lions, elephants, and cheetahs.
April, May and November are lower demand periods. These months are less touristy but offer much more greenery. Expect short, light rains during this period. If you want a quieter getaway, then this is the time to visit.
We work with you to help strategize the perfect season to accompany your mood. Whether it is migration, romance, relaxation, or photography, we always tell your story with the perfect moment.
Serengeti Honeymoon Safari (What to expect)
- Don’t forget to tell us it’s your honeymoon: Merely mentioning it can trip honeymooners into pleasant surprises like private dinners, room upgrades, and other special added touches.
- Look for romantic lodges or tented suites: Intimate boutique lodges and camps offer beautiful views and personalized serviced and tend to be on the more romantic side.
- Balance your game drives with some free time: While game drives can be refreshing, reading on your veranda, rolling by the pool, or napping under the shady bliss can be even more relaxing.
- Wear light and easy to pack clothing: Don’t forget to pack a light jacket for those chilly early mornings, a nice outfit for the romantic dinners, and neutral colors for the game drives.
- Don’t miss the hot air balloon rides: An unforgettable ride over the plains with a hot air balloon gets better with a champagne breakfast at the end.
- Your itinerary will be more relaxed: Taking time to aimlessly wander rather than being rushed is more enjoyable and overall, it wouldn’t be an ideal honeymoon if there were a rush, which is exactly the logic used here.
- Include the blissful Zanzibar beaches: Many couples tend to fly to the beautiful beaches after a great adventure to bask in the warmth of the sun for a few days.
- Inquire about special personal touches: In bed breakfast, wine tastings, and more can be personalized and add a special spin, making a trip even more lovely.

Serengeti Safari Activities and Romantic Activities (What to expect)
We include a wildlife encounter, some relaxation, and a romantic activity in almost every day of the honeymoon. Some couples enjoy more of the planning, while some couples enjoy having everything decided for them.
In all cases, every detail of the itinerary is customized to your interests, budget and energy levels. The day begins when you want and everything is decided calmly.
Wildlife viewing is the lifeblood of your safari. Morning drives start just before sunrise. While you sip coffee and we wrap you in a warm blanket, we’ll look for lions, elephants, and more.
The golden hours are the best time with the world and animals being active, while the light is soft, and everything feels new.
Honeymooners have exclusive access to private drives. Because a dedicated vehicle and guide is provided, you have the flexibility to choose how to spend your time. Would you like to spend an hour watching a cheetah?
Would you like to pause for a bush breakfast by a lake? Do you want to turn back early for a swim? All of those options are possible. Your schedule, your pace.
Witness animals waking from their slumber, observe a hunt in progress, or a herd gathering near a waterhole. These drives often conclude with sundowners, where drinks and snacks are served in the bush as the sky transitions to warm evening hues.
One of the most popular surprises for newlyweds is hot-air balloon safaris. These start before dawn, offering a serene view as you rise above the plains. Gaze as giraffes and herds of wildebeest move steadily, offering a new perspective of the world. Once you land, a bush breakfast awaits. The atmosphere is calm, secluded, and extraordinarily romantic.
Candle-lit dinners are another highlight. A number of lodges prepare private tables for guests far from the other guests which are set up in the open under the starry skies. The combination of soft illumination, delicious food, and gentle sounds of the wild creates an evening that you will never forget. Others offer bubble baths on the deck with wild views, wine, and bath.
Cultural visits where you can connect with the communities can be arranged. From a Maasai village tour to meeting local artisans to learning about traditional life in the region, you can experience it all. These are genuine and respectful interactions that deepen your understanding of the local culture.
And then, quiet time. Lazy mornings on the veranda, reading on a hammock, watching from a plunge pool elephants, . Listening to dawn birds. These are small the moments that make the Serengeti feel like a dream you never want to leave.
