East Africa Honeymoon
Safari

Meet your private guide in Nairobi and travel to the Maasai Mara. The drive takes around 5 to 6 hours, with a stop along the way for refreshments and views of the Great Rift Valley. Arrive at your luxury lodge in time for lunch and a little time to settle in.

In the afternoon, head out for your first game drive. This is your first chance to see lion, elephant, giraffe, zebra and other Mara wildlife as the sun starts to go down. Return to the lodge for your first romantic dinner together.

Wake before sunrise for your Maasai Mara hot-air balloon safari. Watch the plains slowly light up from above, with wildlife moving below you. After landing, enjoy a champagne breakfast in the bush before returning to your lodge.

Later, continue with a private game drive through the Mara. Your guide can arrange a romantic picnic lunch in a suitable private setting, followed by more wildlife viewing in the afternoon. Return to the lodge for a quiet evening together.

Enjoy breakfast and a final short game drive (optional) before transferring for your flight from the Mara towards northern Tanzania. After the necessary border and flight formalities, continue to the Serengeti.

Arrive in the Serengeti and begin your first game drive on the endless plains. Your private guide will adjust the route around wildlife activity and your interests before taking you to your luxury lodge for dinner.

Start before sunrise with a private sunrise game drive. As the light comes up, watch the Serengeti wake up around you. Stop in a quiet spot for champagne and a small breakfast before continuing the drive.

Spend the afternoon exploring more of the Serengeti, looking for lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants and large herds. In the evening, return to a special private bush dinner under the stars, prepared just for the two of you.

Enjoy a slower honeymoon morning with breakfast followed by a private game drive. The Serengeti gives you plenty of space to explore, so your guide can spend more time around sightings that interest you most.

Return to the lodge in the afternoon for a couples' spa treatment. Spend the rest of the evening by the pool, on your private terrace or enjoying a quiet dinner together.

After breakfast, enjoy a final morning drive in the Serengeti before (optional) travelling towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The scenery changes as you leave the open plains and climb into the cooler highlands.

Arrive at your crater-view lodge in the afternoon. Take time to enjoy the views and, depending on the lodge and conditions, have a romantic sunset experience around the Ngorongoro highlands.

Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater after an early breakfast for a full day of wildlife viewing. The crater is one of Tanzania's best places to look for lion, elephant, buffalo, hippo, zebra and, with luck, black rhino.

Enjoy a private picnic lunch in the crater at a designated picnic area before continuing your game drive. In the evening, return to the highlands for a relaxed dinner.

After breakfast, travel towards Arusha for a special visit to Serval Wildlife Sanctuary. With a guide, enjoy a close-up wildlife experience that can include the sanctuary's white lions, giraffe and other animals.

Continue to the airport for your flight to Zanzibar. On arrival, transfer to your luxury beach resort and enjoy your first relaxed evening by the Indian Ocean.

After breakfast, enjoy a guided turtle swimming experience in Zanzibar. Depending on your chosen location and sea conditions, you can swim and snorkel near the turtles while learning how to enjoy the experience without disturbing them.

The rest of the day is yours. Relax on the beach, enjoy the pool or book another couples' treatment at the resort. In the evening, watch the sunset together.

Explore the streets of Stone Town with a private guide. See the old doors, markets and historic buildings before continuing to a spice farm to learn about Zanzibar's famous cloves, cinnamon and other spices.

In the late afternoon, board a traditional dhow for a sunset cruise. Enjoy the sea, a drink and the changing colours of the sky before returning to your resort.

Spend the morning at your own pace before heading out for horse riding along the beach. The ride is arranged with local guides and can be timed for a cooler part of the day.

Return to the resort for lunch and a relaxed afternoon. In the evening, enjoy a private romantic dinner by the beach or another special setting arranged by the resort.

Enjoy a final breakfast and a slow morning by the beach. Depending on your flight time, you can have a last swim, walk along the shore or simply enjoy the resort before check-out.

Your private transfer takes you to Zanzibar International Airport for your flight home. If you would like to extend your beach stay, we can add extra nights in Zanzibar.
