Why Tanzania for Your Honeymoon

Most Honeymoons End Where the Photos Do

A beach resort is beautiful for three days, then it's just a nicer version of home. You wanted a story to tell — not a tan. Tanzania gives you both: the Serengeti's stillness by day, Zanzibar's warm water by night. Nowhere else moves this fluidly from wild to intimate.
