Planning a Honeymoon Safari with Gorilla Trekking.
If you’re looking for a honeymoon that’s as wild and unforgettable as your love story, why not swap the typical beach vacation for something truly extraordinary? Imagine locking eyes with a mountain gorilla deep in the misty jungles of Rwanda and then relaxing under the stars in a luxury safari tent in Tanzania.
At Mandari Travel, we specialize in crafting tailor-made honeymoon safaris that combine intimate gorilla trekking experiences with luxury wildlife adventures across East Africa. Here’s your complete guide to planning the ultimate honeymoon safari with gorilla trekking.
Why Choose Gorilla Trekking for Your Honeymoon?
Mountain gorilla trekking in Rwanda is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and what better way to start your new life together than by sharing such an awe-inspiring moment? With only a few hundred permits available per day, this is an exclusive adventure that offers a quiet, intimate connection with nature, far away from the crowds.
Trekking through Volcanoes National Park is not just thrilling it’s emotional. Many couples describe the experience as humbling, grounding, and bonding.
Pairing It with a Romantic Safari
After your gorilla trek, continue your journey on a classic African safari in Tanzania or Kenya. Watch lions on the Serengeti plains, enjoy private sundowners overlooking the savannah, and sleep in luxury tented camps under the African sky.
Popular pairings include:
- Rwanda + Serengeti (Great Migration & Gorilla Trekking)
- Rwanda + Ngorongoro Crater + Zanzibar (Bush & Beach combo)
- Uganda + Masai Mara (Budget-friendly but unforgettable)
Mandari Travel handles all logistics so your honeymoon is seamless from start to finish.
Best Honeymoon Accommodations
We handpick romantic accommodations tailored to your style and budget:
- Private cottages with forest views near Volcanoes National Park
- Luxury tented safari camps in Serengeti and Ngorongoro

All options can include special touches like champagne on arrival, private dinners, or scenic flights for that added “wow” factor.
When to Go
Gorilla trekking is available year-round in Rwanda, but the dry seasons (June–September and December–February) offer the most comfortable hiking conditions. These months also align perfectly with East Africa’s peak safari season giving you the best of both worlds.
Honeymoon Planning Tips
- Book your gorilla permits 6–12 months in advance (they sell out fast).
- Let us know it’s your honeymoon we’ll arrange romantic extras.
- Consider hiring a porter during your trek to carry your gear.
- Pack layers it’s chilly in the Virunga Mountains, even in summer.
- Add a few days on a tropical beach (like Zanzibar) for a soft ending.
