A safari for the two of you
All our safaris are private: the vehicle and the guide are yours alone, and the route, the timings and the stops are decided with you. On a honeymoon that matters more than ever: you can spend an hour with a lioness and her cubs, or head back to the lodge mid-afternoon, without putting it to a vote.
Your guide is Maasai, born in northern Tanzania, and has spent twenty years in these parks. He tells you about the animals, the landscape and the life of his people from the inside.
Safari and beach, the classic pairing
Almost every couple finishes in Zanzibar: after days of early starts looking for lions, white sand and turquoise water. The island is a little over an hour’s flight from the savannah, and we arrange the internal flight with the rest of the trip.
Twelve days gives you seven or eight on safari and four or five on the beach. With eight or nine you have to choose: a shorter safari, through Tarangire and Ngorongoro, with three nights on the beach, or the whole trip on the savannah and Zanzibar another time.
Where you sleep
You choose the level of accommodation, from tented camps with proper beds and en-suite bathrooms to lodges looking out over the Ngorongoro crater. On a honeymoon it is worth keeping a night or two special: a camp out on the open savannah, or a room overlooking the crater.
If you are celebrating an anniversary
An anniversary can be celebrated on the savannah too. Tell us what you are celebrating and we set it up with the lodges: a special dinner, something waiting in the room, an outing at sunrise. And if you want to see it from the air, the balloon flight over the Serengeti is the present.
When to go
Any time of year works. June to October, the dry season, is when you see the most wildlife and when the herds cross the Mara River; December to March everything is green and the wildebeest calve in the southern Serengeti. April and May bring heavy rain, on the savannah and in Zanzibar: it is the cheapest time, but some camps close.
