Is a safari romantic enough for a honeymoon?

More than you'd expect. Private bush dinners, plunge-pool suites, and sunsets over the Serengeti create moments no beach resort can match. Most couples say it was the most memorable part of their honeymoon.

What honeymoon extras are included?

Champagne on arrival, floral turndowns, couples' spa credits, a private bush dinner, and a sunset experience are standard. We can customize further based on your preferences.

What's the best time for a honeymoon safari?

June to October offers the best weather and wildlife. January to March is also excellent with fewer crowds. We'll recommend the best timing based on your wedding date.

Begin your forever with lions at dawn and stars at night.

Q: Can we combine safari with a beach stay?

Absolutely — it's one of our most popular options. We seamlessly combine your Serengeti safari with 2–4 nights in Zanzibar. One booking, zero logistics.

Q: Is it private enough?

Yes. You'll have your own vehicle, your own guide, and lodges selected for intimate atmospheres. We can arrange private dining, private excursions, and exclusive-use villas.

Private bush dinners, luxury tented suites, and seamless safari + Zanzibar beach combinations.

The company is comprised of delightful and warm individuals! Each person we met was helpful and informative. Our luxury safari during July was truly an amazing experience. Upon arrival, we were met with refreshments and more. At this time, we met our guide, Frank, for the first time; he was fabulous. His knowledge of the area, the animals, the vegetation, and the people was superior. The places we stayed were delightful and were filled with helpful staff and kind individuals. We were able to see the BIG 5!!! Frank was so happy to provide options and truly surpassed our expectations. I cannot wait to share this experience with others!

This was a 10 Day Safari adventure into Tanzania. It included a variety of National parks, stays in phenomenal lodges, and game drives beyond expectations. Our guides, Fadhili and Hassani were fantastic! I will request them for future travelers. We enjoyed daily game drives after relaxing breakfasts at the lodges, then, picnic lunches out in the wild! Time to freshen up after the day before dinner, and then time to get some well needed sleep before the next day's adventure.

From the moment we met Davis "our guide" we knew we would be in great hands. He ensured our 7 days, were everything we wanted them to be and more!!! The EXG team and Glory, ensured every detail was taken care of. Our safari started in Arusha/Kilimanjaro and we visited Arusha National Park (walking safari), Ngorogoro Crater, Lake Manyara and the famous Serengeti. My favorite accommodations were "glamping" inside the Serengeti. I can't wait to go back with my grandchildren to have them enjoy this experience and EXG will be right there on my side!!!

If I could pay TripAdvisor to let me give 6 out of 5 stars to EXG Safaris and Salim (our safari guide from EXG), I would. Salim Zawadi, our guide, was a rockstar. Fun, engaging, knowledgeable, hospitable, and doing everything he could to make our safari experience as wonderful and perfect as possible. With his deep knowledge of Tanzania's national parks, we easily saw the Big Five (including MULTIPLE leopards - AMAZING), as well as a cheetah and tons of lion cubs. EXG also set us up for comfort and luxury with our accommodations. We were treated like VIPs everywhere. I cannot recommend EXG Safaris, and especially our incredible safari guide, Salim, enough!

EXG was a great company to work with for our honeymoon safari. They worked well with our travel agent and us to make sure our needs were met. The experience was rugged and luxurious while in Tanzania. The accommodations were very nice including Masailand Coffee Lodge and Serenity Camp in the Serengeti. The best part of the trip was our safari with Salim Zawadi. He was an incredible guide!

BUCKET LIST ITEM!!! We had a GREAT time on our Safari. Giraffes, and Elephants, and Hippos.. oh MY!! Our favorites were the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide (Manuel) was awesome. He and the other guides communicated via radio so when one spotted something amazing we had a chance to see it too! EXG is affordable luxury. We spent every day on game drives.
