Overview
Six days on safari, four on the beach, and a flight in between so nobody spends their honeymoon on a bus.
The safari runs the northern circuit: Tarangire for elephant among the baobabs, two full days in the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. A sunrise hot air balloon flight over the Serengeti plains, ending with a champagne bush breakfast, is included rather than offered as an extra, and it is the morning most couples remember.
Then you fly from Arusha to Zanzibar for four nights on the coast. Warm water, no schedule, and nothing that requires being awake at five.
The trip is private throughout: your own vehicle, your own guide, and lodges chosen for privacy rather than size. Tell us if you are celebrating and we will let the camps know before you arrive.
