Thinking about your honeymoon?
Over the years, at Azao Resort & Spa, we’ve had the joy of hosting newlyweds from all over the world. We’ve seen how Tanzania’s incredible vista and Zanzibar’s beautiful beaches create honeymoon memories that last forever. Here’s our guide to planning the perfect 10-day romantic getaway combining both.
Days 1-2: Arrive in Arusha and Tarangire National Park
Your adventure starts in Arusha, the main town for Tanzania’s safari parks. Spend your first evening settling in at a cozy lodge and watching the sunset over Mount Meru – the perfect way to start slowing down and enjoying each other’s company.
On day two, head to Tarangire National Park for your first safari. Renowned for its massive baobab trees, this park attracts huge groups of elephants. The best part? It’s quieter than other parks, so you get more privacy. Imagine sipping champagne in the bush as the sun sets, watching elephants walk by. Couples always tell us this is one of their favorite honeymoon memories.
Days 3-4: Ngorongoro Crater – A Natural Wonder
The Ngorongoro Crater is incredibly special. This huge volcanic crater is home to lions, rhinos, flamingos, and so much more, all in one amazing place. Stay at a lodge right on the crater’s edge, where you can have private dinners under the stars. The views are breathtaking, and the service gives you a sense of total privacy and exclusivity.
Days 5-6: Serengeti National Park – The Famous Plains
Every Tanzania honeymoon should include the Serengeti. If you visit during the right time of year, you might see the Great Migration – millions of animals moving across the plains. But honestly, the Serengeti is amazing any time you visit.
We recommend a luxury tented camp that combines excitement with a romantic atmosphere. You can wake up surrounded by the sounds of nature, have breakfast on your private deck, and set off to explore the wildlife. Come back for a couples’ massage, relax with afternoon tea, and go out again in the evening when the big cats start hunting.
A scenic balloon ride across the Serengeti at dawn is worth every penny. Floating quietly over the plains, then landing for champagne and breakfast – it’s the kind of experience you’ll talk about for years.
Day 7: Fly to Zanzibar – Trading Safari for Beach
Once the safari excitement ends, it’s time to relax and recharge. A quick flight takes you from the Serengeti’s golden grasslands to Zanzibar’s bright blue waters.
As soon as you arrive in Zanzibar, you’ll quickly see how distinct it feels. The island brings together influences from African, Arabic, and Indian traditions. Spices scent the air, old Stone Town has charming narrow streets, and the beaches are absolutely stunning.
Days 8-10: Pure Relaxation at Azao Resort & Spa
Your last three days are all about unwinding and enjoying each other at Azao Resort & Spa. We created our resort with honeymooners in mind, which is why so many couples choose us when looking at different Zanzibar honeymoon packages.
Why Choose Azao for Your Honeymoon?

The roomy guest spaces feature tall ceilings and views of either the gardens or the ocean, giving you plenty of privacy and comfort.
