What You Need to Know: The 10-day honeymoon safari and Zanzibar costs from US$5,395 per person (US$10,790 for the two of you) at mid-range lodges and hotels, or US$9,170 per person at luxury level. It includes airport transfers, a night in Arusha, a private safari with your own Mweka-trained driver-guide, nights in Tarangire, the central Serengeti (2) and on the crater rim, all park fees, the crater fee, the flight to Zanzibar, four beach nights in north Zanzibar and a guided Stone Town tour.
Who Is the 10-Day Honeymoon Safari and Zanzibar For?
It is the honeymoon most couples ask us for: enough safari to see the Serengeti properly, and enough beach to rest afterward. Two nights in the central Serengeti give you a full day for lions and leopards and the chance of the migration herds, depending on the month, and the crater-rim night means you are first onto the crater floor in the morning. The four beach nights come last, after the early starts.

How Much Does the 10-Day Honeymoon Safari and Zanzibar Cost?
What the 10 days cost per person and for the couple, mid-range or luxury:
| Level | Per person (2 travelers) | For the two of you | Per person, two couples together |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mid-range lodges and hotels | US$5,395 | US$10,790 | US$4,980 |
| Luxury lodges and hotels | US$9,170 | US$18,340 | US$8,755 |
At mid-range level, the safari days make up most of the price; choosing a luxury beach hotel alone adds less than upgrading the whole trip.

Common Questions About the 10-Day Honeymoon Safari and Zanzibar
Short answers to the questions our guests ask us most often:
How much is a 10-day honeymoon safari and Zanzibar?
From US$5,395 per person at mid-range level and US$9,170 at luxury level for two travelers, including the flight to Zanzibar, park fees and a Stone Town tour.
Is 10 days enough for Tanzania and Zanzibar?
Yes. Five safari days cover Tarangire, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater without rushing, and four nights on the beach give you time to rest.
Will we see the Great Migration?
It depends on the month: the herds pass through the central Serengeti in some months, mostly around May to June and November to December. For the calving or river crossings, see the 12-day migration honeymoon.
Can we add a balloon flight?
Yes, on the full Serengeti day; it costs US$490 per person with a bush breakfast.
Can we stay on the east coast of Zanzibar instead?
Yes. We can book the east coast, quieter but with big tides, or split the nights between two beaches.
Should You Book the 10-Day Honeymoon Safari and Zanzibar?
Book it if you want the classic Tanzania honeymoon: two Serengeti nights, a crater-rim lodge and four nights on the beach, from US$5,395 per person at mid-range level or US$9,170 at luxury level. With less time, the 7-day honeymoon keeps the crater and the beach; to avoid the long drives, the 9-day fly-in honeymoon flies both ways.
