The story of this honeymoon
The honeymoon for couples who want to experience more than the famous highlights
West Kilimanjaro, Maasai hospitality, village cycling and Lake Eyasi give the journey a human heart. Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Ndutu and Serengeti then create a long wildlife chapter before Zanzibar slows the pace.
Why this route works for two
Your safari vehicle is private for the two of you
You have your own guide and safari vehicle, so the wildlife days can move at your pace. We then connect the safari with your Zanzibar flight, transfers and island stay.
YOUR HONEYMOON, YOUR WAY
