Honeymoon in East Africa: A Safari Worth Toasting

Best for: COUPLES, ADVENTURE, CLASSIC SAFARI, GREAT MIGRATION, ROMANCE

Your honeymoon begins in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, where you can unwind and visit the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage or the Giraffe Center. From there, take a short flight into a remote corner of the Masai Mara for a classic safari experience. Picture hot air balloons drifting over elephant herds, champagne breakfasts in the bush, and romantic candlelit dinners with lions roaring in the distance.

Next, travel into Tanzania to witness the Great Migration from a luxury mobile tented camp. Spend three unforgettable days immersed in this iconic wildlife spectacle. Then, retreat to the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, where romance and glamour meet dramatic views in one of Africa’s most unique safari settings.

This is a honeymoon filled with extraordinary experiences and unforgettable landscapes.

Consider this too...

Nairobi | Kenya

Arriving in Kenya’s capital marks the start of your East African adventure. While Nairobi is just a one-night stopover, it’s the perfect opportunity to shake off the jet lag and begin your journey with purpose.

Enjoy meaningful wildlife encounters at the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Center. Both experiences are heart-warming and allow you to get up close to these iconic species while learning from the dedicated teams working to protect them and other vulnerable wildlife.

Ubuntu Travel co-founders Kyle and Leah always recommend a night at Giraffe Manor, one of their personal favorites in all of East Africa.

Masai Mara | Kenya

We are going to say it – this is the most romantic lodge in Tanzania! Situated on the rim of an ancient caldera, no honeymoon would be complete without staying at andBeyond’s theatrical Ngorongoro Crater Lodge. Just wait for the bubble bath… with champagne of course.

When exploring the crater floor, expect to see resident prides, hyena clans, large elephants and even the endangered black rhino. The birdlife is also incredible with pelicans and flamingos congregating around Magadi Lake.

For the adventurous, a scenic Olmoti or Empakai Crater walk is a must!

Lion in Masai Mara, Kenya

Serengeti National Park | Tanzania

You will fall in love with these luxurious tented camp! These canvas camps move multiple times a year to anticipate the Great Wildebeest Migration movements, positioning you perfectly to witness the largest terrestrial mammal migration in the world.

Often misunderstood, the Great Wildebeest Migration is a year-round cycle, where an estimated 1.5 million wildebeest, 400 000 zebra, 300 000 Grant’s and Thompson’s gazelles, and 12 000 eland migrate in search of green grazing pastures!

This can only be described as natural luxury at it’s finest!

Zanzibar | Tanzania

When you need a holiday after your holiday, simply add Zanzibar to the tail end of your safari. This Indian Ocean archipelago is rich in culture and history, having long attracted seafarers, spice traders, and merchants to its iconic shores. Each island offers something unique, from vibrant markets and historic alleyways in Stone Town to palm-lined beaches perfect for slowing down.

Zanzibar is where time has no meaning and island life truly takes over.
