3 Exquisite Outdoor Wedding Destinations in Tanzania

Elephants in Tanzania

One of Tanzania’s Breathtaking Sceneries

Tanzania is a country of magic and adventure. One of the foremost safari destinations throughout the African continent, this is where you come if you want to see wildebeest stampede the plains, hippos traverse muddy waterways and chimpanzees swinging their way from one treetop to the next. It’s a place of boat safaris and pre-dawn game drives. But also of sandy beaches, sleepy coastal villages and tranquil islands. Not to mention Mt Kilimanjaro and the red-cloaked Maasai warriors. As such, it makes sense that couples from all around the globe flock here to tie the knot.

Here are a few of our favourite outdoor wedding destinations in Tanzania:

The Safari Wedding: Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge

Mto Wa Mbu Escarpment, Northern Tanzania, Tanzania

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge is situated on the Mto Wa Mbu Escarpment in Northern Tanzania – a spectacular destination for a wedding with a safari feel and bushveld ambiance. Here, bridal parties enjoy access to unparalleled views over the surrounding landscape from almost every angle within the resort. An outdoor wedding in this setting is bound to leave your guests speechless. Additionally, this is the ideal option if there are members of your wedding party who would like to extend their stay to enjoy some game-watching in one of the foremost wildlife destinations in southern Africa.

The Beach Wedding: Ras Nungwi

Nungwi, Tanzania

Aaaah, a beach destination along the gorgeous shoreline of Tanzania – there are few things that can top that! Ras Nungwi is a beachfront resort in Nungwi, where couples can tie the knot in style, with their feet in the sand and sweeping views over the azure ocean. The resort’s wedding planning team are on hand to provide seamless assistance with legal paperwork and general setup, while you enjoy the area and relax in the lead up to your nuptials.

Zanzibar, Tanzania

Zanzibar is the alluring island that lies off the coast of mainland Tanzania. Here you will find plenty of resorts where you can tie the knot. The Dhow Palace Hotel is one of our firm favourites and comes highly recommended. This sophisticated venue has a very elegant feel and has been decorated in an eclectic, yet beautifully curated collection of local artistic artifacts that makes for an exceptional backdrop to a more contemporary wedding.
