What to consider before booking a honeymoon Holiday to Africa.

• Private dinners on the beach

Renowned for its spices grown locally, the chefs on Zanzibar Island proudly cook up a delicious array of breakfast, lunches and dinners to its guests on a daily basis. To make it even better, guests on Zanzibar Island not only get to choose what they eat from the menu but also where they eat it! Boutique hotel Matlai is a perfect example of this… as couples can choose from their own private balcony, the manicured gardens, the cozy dining area, the white sand beach overlooking the Indian Ocean or even from the comfort of their own bed! Private honeymoon dinners in Zanzibar are simply magical, with candlelit lighting, a quiet and private location and of course, a faultless level of service.

• Private Romantic sunset cruises

As a world heritage UNESCO site, the e town has so much charm to offer on a honeymoon safari to Zanzibar. The hustling city, with its narrow streets and busy local life, can feel overwhelming to some, but a great option for honeymooners to enjoy Stone town, is to see its beauty from the ocean. Sunset dhow trips, in a private vessel for two, can be arranged in the evening, where couples will you see both the beautiful sites of the island, as well as the breath-taking sunset that Zanzibar proudly shows.

• Consider longer stay honeymoon special offers

Many of the properties in Zanzibar offer honeymoon discounts and packages which makes them all the more attractive. Some properties offer special offers based on the number of nights you stay (e.g. 6 nights for the price of 5) whilst others offer complimentary gifts to make your stay memorable from the moment you arrive. Flowers and bottles of sparkling wine upon arrival, romantic couple’s massages in the in-house spa, and lobster dinners on the beach are just a few of the gifts offered, alongside, of course, a happy team with big smiles on their face!

• Plan for an Entertainment night.

Whilst some honeymooners may prefer a peaceful dinner for two, others may prefer some entertainment in the evening whilst staying in Zanzibar. Some larger hotels, such as Breeze’s beach club offer entertainment in the evening as guests tuck into their dinner, Boutique hotel Matlai offer truly unique entertainment, with an open-air cinema available for guests to watch a movie under the stars. For those who have just been on safari, the Lion King always goes down a treat!
