In the
search of unique wedding destinations, it’s difficult to do better than the
Serengeti. Or Zanzibar. Or a Maasai village. But surprisingly, it’s also hard
to beat these locations in cost.
The average U.S. wedding in 2012 was
$28,400, For just a fraction of that cost, you can have a Serengeti wedding and
Zanzibar honeymoon!
However,
for just a quarter of that cost, we can arrange Serengeti weddings with a
honeymoon safari and beach trip to Zanzibar and surrounding islands. Throw in
international flight tickets, and couples still find themselves at less than
half of the U.S. average, plus they’ve incorporated a once-in-a-lifetime
vacation experience.
Safari honeymoon or weddings in Serengeti and other Tanzanian national parks are specially prepared for newly weds:
·
locations in secluded,
·
private yet secure luxury tents or lodges,
·
with bush candlelit dinners in the evening where couples can enjoy
wilderness and romantic moments.
Most popular safari wedding/ honeymoon choice is 5 day honeymoon/ wedding integrated safari itinerary aimed to provide the best of safari adventure in 5 full days and 4 nights in rustic African luxury lodges or tented camps.
Experienced safari driver takes couple to safari with private safari roof top vehicle, which is also their guide during the exciting safari tour.
On first day depending on the season, they visit Lake Manyara or Tarangire national park to warm up for more exciting and amazing Serengeti, which is highlight of safari and a wedding venue on the next couple of days.
We recommend Serena Serengeti Lodge where you can choose to have arranged authentic Maasai ceremony accompanied by Maasai warriors and dancers as well as local chief to bless the ceremony, and a traditional wedding dance or singing display.
