Honeymoon Safari Itinerary

Whether you’re interested in a classic Tanzanian safari, tracking mountain gorillas in the jungles of Uganda or simply relaxing on the beach on the exotic island of Zanzibar, a honeymoon in East Africa is the perfect combination of adventure, relaxation and romance.

Ideally your East Africa honeymoon safari would start with a trek up into Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or Rwanda’s Virunga Mountains, where you’ll spend some time with some of the few remaining mountain gorilla families in the world. Choose your gorilla trek depending on your fitness levels and preferences, with hikes between two to eight hours.

Next, you would take a light aircraft to the Masai Mara in Kenya, which is an adventure in itself, as you’ll be able to spot wildlife from the air. Once on the ground, you’ll be treated to sightings of Africa’s Big Five (leopard, lion, buffalo, rhino and elephant), as well as the Great Migration (seasonal).

Your honeymoon safaris would ends on the idyllic island of Zanzibar, where you can take a cultural tour of Stone Town, island-hop around the Indian Ocean, swim with whale sharks (depending on the season) and simply relax on powder white sands, as turquoise waves lap against the shore.
