Hi everyone,

I'm hoping you can help. My partner and I are looking to book our honeymoon for September 2023 and we're both keen to go to Tanzania on safari for around a week and combine this with a relaxing beach holiday - again for around a week.

The natural choice seems to be to pair a safari in Tanzania with Zanzibar, but to be honest I'm overwhelmed by the choice out there in terms of safari operators and the types of accommodation they offer etc.

We're not especially after a luxury honeymoon experience for the safari as these do seem to get horrendously expensive, but neither are we hardened campers to go budget camping in tents for a week. I think I'd be tempted to go halfway for the safari and stay in lodges, and then push the luxury side of things in Zanzibar a bit more. What are people's thoughts on this?

I've backpacked around the world but when it comes to Safari I have no idea I love to book everything myself and save on the operator's commission.

Any advice or itinerary would be hugely appreciated.
