Honeymoon in Tanzania and Zanzibar
Movie-like safaris and spices by the Indian Ocean
Honeymoon Score
Overview
Tanzania and Zanzibar form the classic 'Bush & Beach' trip. It is a honeymoon designed to wake up early and feel the adrenaline of seeing lions, leopards and elephants in their natural habitat, and then a few days later reward the effort by sinking your feet into the fine white sand of one of the most legendary islands in the Indian Ocean.
Pros
- See the Great Migration and the 'Big Five'
- Exoticism and perfect beaches to disconnect
Cons
- Requires vaccine planning and prophylaxis
- Safaris considerably increase the budget
