Planning Tips for Your Serengeti Wedding
🗓️ Best Time to Get Married?
June to September — peak dry season and Great Migration drama. Wildlife everywhere. Sunsets on steroids. Romance level: savage.
📜 Legalities
Marrying legally in Tanzania takes planning. Many couples do the legal part at home, then go all-in with a symbolic ceremony in the Serengeti. Much easier — and way more photogenic.
✈️ Getting There
Most lodges offer transfer from Kilimanjaro or Arusha. A small bush plane will sweep you straight into the magic.
📦 What to Pack
-
A solid SPF (the sun is no joke)
-
Flowing outfits (hello, epic dress shots in the wind)
-
Repellent (yes, even luxury has mosquitoes)
