Unique – remote – fascinating! Is this what you would like to experience on your honeymoon? Nothing gets better than this honeymoon to Tanzania. Encounter some intense wildlife in the untouched wilderness of Katavi. There are no humans for hundreds of miles. Apart from one lodge and its staff, you will see no other people. But you will see huge herds of buffalo, elephants and thousands of zebra. A one-hour flight from Katavi followed by a 90-minute dhow trip will bring you into the mountains of Mahale. This is home of Tanzania’s densest population of primates. It’s also a fascinating bush and beach combo. Last but not least, you are whisked off to Fanjove Island in the Songo Songo Archipelago. It’s an unexplored honeymoon destination. Feel like Robinson Crusoe far away from civilization – without missing comfort and luxury though…
