Tanzania Honeymoon Safari (11N) - Luxury

On Day 1 of your honeymoon, you will fly out to the Ngorongoro Crater region and travel by road to Ngorongoro Crater Lodge. Run by top safari company &Beyond, this property is famous for its unique Maasai-meets-Versailles style! All interiors are very lavish, featuring brocade sofas, beaded chandeliers, and panelled walls. And the views from the main lodge’s lounges, dining rooms, and decks are absolutely breathtaking! The guest accommodation is divided into three camps, each providing a number of stilted and handcrafted banana thatch suites. These have as much wow-factor as the communal spaces. Every suite boasts a huge four-poster bed, an indoor fireplace, and a glamorous en-suite bathroom with roll-top bath. You even have your own butler, who will happily draw a rose-petal bubble bath for you! Activities include game drives on the wildlife-rich crater floor, walks and hikes around the rim of the crater, and a range of cultural experiences. The Lodge offers plenty in the way of private dining, and the honeymoon package is fantastic – the bride saves 50 per cent on accommodation!

Board basis and activities:
Full-board accommodation, including three meals daily, soft drinks, house wines, local-brand spirits and beers, teas and coffees, refreshments on lodge activities, safari activities, and a laundry service.

On the third day of your adventure, you will fly to the Serengeti, to stay at Lamai. Set on an immense rock kopje, this property has the best views in the park! It is run by Nomad Tanzania, one of our favourite safari companies. All communal areas are spacious and comfortable, and there is a swimming pool within the grounds! You will stay in a sumptuous suite within the main lodge. Each suite is open fronted and blends canvas, plaster, and natural poles for an authentic feel. The interior features a big four-poster bed and a very well appointed en-suite bathroom! There is an outdoor decking area too, which is ideal for spending some quality time together and marvelling at the view over the Serengeti plains. Lamai offers classic game drives and walking safaris – the Great Migration storms through from July until November, but this park has loads of wildlife to see all year round.

Board basis and activities:
Full-board accommodation, including all meals, selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, game drives, short bush walks (seasonal), bush picnics, and a laundry service.

The final few days of your honeymoon are spent on idyllic Zanzibar! You will fly to this paradise island from mainland Tanzania, to stay at Zawadi Hotel. This is a stunning new property from the reliable Zanzibar Collection, whose portfolio wins awards year after year! Small, intimate, and adults only, Zawadi is the perfect retreat. It has a lovely location on the Michamvi peninsula, on the island’s south-east coast. The communal areas all have a very laidback beach feel, with their neutral-and-white furnishings and views of the sparkling sea. There is a good assortment of eateries and bars, as well as gorgeous grounds incorporating an infinity pool and a nature gym! Guest accommodation here consists of nine private villas, all well spaced along the ocean front. These too have that beach vibe, and each features a large double bed, a full en-suite bathroom, and sliding doors onto a private terrace. Zawadi offers a wide range of watersports, tours, and trips around Zanzibar, or you might prefer to spend your time simply relaxing on the beach! A stay here makes for a very romantic finale to your honeymoon, with a package that includes a bottle of wine and flowers upon arrival, sundowners served in your room, and a 10 per cent discount on a PADI diving course.

Board basis and activities:
Full-board accommodation, including all meals, all drinks except special coffees, Wi-Fi in all public areas, and snorkelling equipment hire.

On Day 12, you will return to Zanzibar’s airport for your international flight home.
