A contender for the trip of a lifetime, this adventure starts with wildlife viewing in the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, continuing to the idyllic island of Zanzibar! It includes special offers and little extras for honeymooners.

Your honeymoon begins at Plantation Lodge. Located just outside Karatu, within its own coffee plantation and working farm, this lodge provides a superb base from which to explore the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Next up is &Beyond Serengeti Under Canvas, a luxurious mobile camp that follows the Great Migration! Finally, you’ll fly to Zanzibar, to spend four nights at Zuri, a deluxe resort on the island’s scenic northern shores.

The first part of your holiday involves a game drive both in Lake Manyara National Park and in the Ngorongoro Crater! Plantation Lodge offers plenty of on-site activities too. Once at Serengeti Under Canvas, you’ll enjoy further game drives – and if you visit during the period from July to October you can look out for the huge herds of the Great Migration! And during your beach break, you can try various watersports, visit a range of Zanzibar’s finest attractions, and simply relax on the beach, on pristine white sands.
