The best luxury Tanzania safari for couples

Pace

Fewer moves and longer stays. Three nights in one camp gives time for a slow morning or an afternoon on the deck without missing out.

Small camps

Camps with a handful of tents give privacy. Ask about tents set apart from the others, private decks and outdoor baths.

Private moments

• Bush breakfast or sundowner set up in a quiet spot
• Dinner in the tent or under the stars
• A hot-air balloon flight over the Serengeti
• A walking safari in a private concession

A suggested route (8 to 10 days)

Tarangire or Lake Manyara (1 night), Ngorongoro rim (1 night), Serengeti (4 nights in two camps), then fly to Zanzibar for 3 or 4 nights.

Private vehicle

With your own vehicle, you set the pace for the day. Some couples choose shorter drives and more time at camp. Others want full days with the wildlife.
