Escape the Chaos with a Romantic Honeymoon Safari

What could be more romantic than eating crepes in a cliché café in Paris? How about an intimate dinner for two on the deck of an African lodge, watching elephants stroll by a mere ten feet away? Many people think of Africa as an adventure—which it is—but it is also a romantic honeymoon destination. If you are looking to start your marriage with an amazing vacation, consider Tanzania luxury safaris. From impressive wildlife viewing to beautiful beaches to a fascinating culture, this East Africa country located in the Great Lakes Region has a lot to offer.

Relax and Unwind

After spending months on end planning ever minute detail of your wedding, the last thing you want to do is stress yourself out planning every last detail of your honeymoon. Navigating the public transit system in a foreign city can be stressful, often causing even the closest couples to snap at each other. And waiting in line for hours at tourist traps is no fun either. Instead, let an expert guide give you a private tour, by land or by air, of the beautiful African landscape while you hold hands and look for grazing giraffes. When you want to get away from it all, there’s nothing quite like an African safari.

Comfortable Accommodations

The thought of sleeping in a tent while on a photo safari is often misleading. The accommodations on Tanzania luxury safaris are just as comfortable as any high-end hotel. The framed tents draped in chic canvas typically boast locking doors, patios with endless views, and unforgettable amenities like private outdoor bathtubs. Some lodges even offer massages to end your day.

Beautiful Sunsets

Africa is known for its spectacular sunsets. Sip some champagne on a sundowner river cruise watching the larger-than-life sun turn passionate shades of red and orange as it drops below the horizon, or let your guide stake out a private lakeside spot where you can watch zebras, elephants and wildebeests take an evening drink from a fresh-water pan as the sun sets behind them until they become silhouettes in the night.

Nature Inspires Bonding

Bonding is an important part of any honeymoon, but in today’s fast-paced, high-tech society that process is often interrupted by urgent emails and status updates. Fresh air, the warmth of the sun, and the excitement of animal sightings calms the nerves and brings couples closer. Sharing the beauty of nature, free from distractions, inspires deeper connection. While you can still enjoy modern conveniences like Wi-Fi in many safari lodges, most newlyweds enjoy having each other’s undivided attention, without the seductive power of technology while out on game drives.
