Tanzania Honeymoon Safari & Beach (11n) – Classic

On Day 1 of your honeymoon, you’ll touch down at Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA), receiving a VIP Meet and Greet. From here, you’ll fly to Lake Manyara Airport (50 mins), where you’ll be met by a private guide, in a private vehicle. Your guide will be with you throughout your stay in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, making for bespoke experiences of the crater and surrounds. On your way to Plantation Lodge, you’ll enjoy a game drive in Lake Manyara National Park. Highlights of this park include big game such as tree-climbing lions and vast flocks of flamingos settling on the shores to feed! After your vehicle safari, you’ll be driven to the lodge, a German colonial-style building containing a characterful lounge, dining area, and bar. The property boasts a courtyard too, as well as gardens and a swimming pool. You’ll stay in a standard room, which features king-size bed, seating area with cosy fireplace, and smart en-suite facilities. During the remainder of your stay here, you’ll have time to enjoy a few on-site activities, such as a guided walk amidst the lodge’s coffee plantations and a visit to a nearby farm.

On the third day, you’ll return to Lake Manyara Airport and fly to the Serengeti’s Kogatende Airstrip (1 hr 45 mins), before having a shared road transfer to &Beyond Serengeti Under Canvas. This is one of our favourite mobile camps in the Serengeti! Its communal lounge and dining areas occupy one tent apiece, and each is open sided to offer amazing views over the park. There’s also a smashing little fire-pit, the perfect place to share safari stories at the end of every day. Your accommodation will be one of nine safari tents, featuring double bed, daybed, double bucket shower set up by your personal butler, and a lovely private veranda. The main activity here is following the Great Migration on expertly guided game drives. Huge herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles push up into the Serengeti’s Kogatende region during the period from July to October in their search for food, and their travels include dramatic river crossings. There’s a lot of other wildlife to observe too, not least all Big Five, numerous smaller mammals, and loads of birds.
