Tanzania is full of magic, and we’ve created this amazing 7 Day honeymoon trip just for you. The tour starts in Nyerere National Park, a wild and beautiful place with rivers, trees, and lots of animals. After your safari, you fly to Mafia Island—a quiet beach with palm trees, coral reefs, and friendly people. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy the ocean.
Your honeymoon begins the moment you land at Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam. A friendly representative will be waiting to welcome you and help you catch your light aircraft flight into the wild beauty of Nyerere National Park. As your plane flies low over rivers, forests, and endless savannahs, you’ll already feel the magic of Africa begin to stir. When you land at the remote airstrip, a professional safari guide will meet you with a warm smile and take you on your very first game drive to the camp. On the way, keep your eyes peeled—you might spot elephants, giraffes, or even wild dogs before you even reach your tent! Once you arrive at Beho Beho or Siwandu Camp, you’ll receive a warm welcome, a refreshing drink, and a quick briefing before enjoying a delicious lunch and settling into your luxurious safari suite.
Later that afternoon, head back into the wild for your first real safari. Nyerere National Park is one of Tanzania’s hidden gems—peaceful, uncrowded, and full of life. Explore the bush by 4×4, boat, or even on foot. The park is home to elephants, leopards, hippos, crocodiles, and over 400 species of birds, making every outing feel like a scene from a nature documentary. As the sun sets over the horizon, you’ll return to camp for a chance to freshen up before gathering around the campfire. Enjoy a cold drink under the stars, followed by a romantic candlelit dinner in the heart of the African wilderness. It’s a magical ending to your first day on safari—and your first evening as newlyweds.
The next two days are yours to explore the wonders of Nyerere at your own pace. Early mornings are perfect for walking safaris, when the air is cool and animals are most active. You can also take a sunrise game drive with a picnic breakfast and watch the light spread across the plains as the bush comes to life. After a tasty lunch back at camp, relax with a siesta or sit quietly on your veranda, watching wildlife wander by. In the afternoon, take a boat safari along the Rufiji River or nearby lakes, drifting past sunbathing crocodiles, pods of noisy hippos, and dazzling birdlife. With game drives, boat trips, and walks on offer every day, you can choose a different kind of adventure each time.
After three unforgettable days in the African bush, it’s time to trade the wild for the waves. You’ll fly from Nyerere National Park to the coast, where the second chapter of your honeymoon begins. Depending on your chosen experience, you’ll either land on Mafia Island and drive to your lodge, or fly to Songo Songo Island and take a short boat ride to the private paradise of Fanjove. If you choose Mafia Island, you’ll stay at the beautiful Chole Mjini Treehouse Lodge. Hidden in a lush jungle, this quiet and peaceful retreat is perfect for couples looking for something truly different. Your treehouse sits high above the ground, with open sides that let in the ocean breeze and give you stunning views of the sea. It’s simple, romantic, and completely unique.
Chole Mjini is part of a protected marine reserve, famous for swimming with gentle whale sharks (seasonal) and vibrant coral reefs for snorkelling. You can also take daily boat trips around the island, stop at secret sandbanks, or just relax and enjoy the calm of island life. If you’re looking for even more seclusion, Fanjove Private Island is your dream come true. This tiny island is a true hidden gem, where you’ll stay in an elegant wooden banda—a beautiful A-frame beach hut open to the sea. From your bed, you’ll see nothing but white sand, turquoise water, and waving palms. Everything here is built with care for nature, using solar power, sustainable wood, and traditional makuti palm thatch.
Fanjove feels like your own private island. Over the next few days, you’ll enjoy total peace and freedom. Watch sea turtles nest on the beach, spot colourful birds, and look out for coconut crabs among the trees. You can go snorkelling, kayaking, sailing, or simply walk barefoot along the beach, hand in hand, with no one else around. Whether you choose the rustic charm of Chole Mjini or the exclusive escape of Fanjove, your honeymoon ends in true island style—relaxed, romantic, and completely unforgettable.
After your dreamy island escape, wake up to one last morning of ocean views and gentle sea breezes. Enjoy a relaxed, delicious breakfast with your toes in the sand and the sound of waves in the background—soaking in every last moment of peace and beauty. When it’s time to leave, you’ll pack your bags and begin your journey back. You’ll return to either Mafia Airstrip or Songo Songo Airstrip, depending on your island, and board your flight to Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam. From there, you’ll check in for your international flight home—relaxed, refreshed, and filled with unforgettable memories of your East African honeymoon.
