6-Day Tanzania Honeymoon Safari
A private 6-day safari for couples, from Arusha to Tarangire, three nights in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, staying in comfortable upper mid-range lodges and tented camps.
A Honeymoon in the Bush, No Beach Needed
Not every honeymoon needs a beach. This safari keeps the pace gentle for two: a day in Tarangire, then three nights in the Serengeti so you have time for long game drives, quiet afternoons at camp and evenings under a very large sky. The last night is on the Ngorongoro highlands before an early game drive on the crater floor.
The vehicle and driver-guide are yours alone, so you set the rhythm of each day. A sunrise balloon flight over the Serengeti can be added on one of the mornings at extra cost. If you would like a special touch at a lodge, tell us when you enquire and we will ask what each lodge can arrange.

Two full days to explore at your own pace: early and late game drives, a picnic lunch in the bush or a quiet afternoon at camp. Elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, impalas, wildebeest and hippos are common. Lions are seen often and leopards more rarely. Wild animals move freely, so no sighting can be guaranteed.
