14 Days Honeymoon Safari
Tour Overview
On arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport you will be met by your guide who will assist you through customs and immigration. You will then be driven to Arusha, the Safari Capital of the world. Depending on the time of your arrival, your guide may take you on a short tour of the town prior to arriving at Arusha Coffee Lodge, on the Western edge of the City. This 42 house property is set on a functioning coffee plantation with amazing views of Mt. Meru provides a tranquil environment to recover from your International Flights.
We have chosen the best lodges and hotels especially for honeymoon; we have taken much time researching and knowing what honeymooners like mostly in the safaris and Zanzibar trips.
Day by day itinerary
Day 1:Arusha to Lake Manyara.
After breakfast you will leave for Lake Manyara national park. This is the parks that is very famous for flamingos and tree climbing lions. Overnight in Kirurumu tented camp.
Day 2: Lake Manyara to the Ngorongoro Crater
We leave Arusha after a delicious breakfast at the Coffee Lodge and head West across the Great Rift Valley, where we find Lake Manyara. This 130 sq mile park is one of Tanzania’s hidden gems, which is often overlooked by visitors. We will spend the day exploring this fantastic park which incorporates arid plains, dry woodlands, and tropical rain forests all contained between the impressive Gregory Rift Wall and the shores of Lake Manyara. Not only will you find giraffe, elephants, hippos, mongoose, and buffalo in the area, but the Soda-lake attracts more than 400 species of birds, including the beautiful lesser flamingo and often large flocks of pelican. If we are luck we may also find the pride of lions that are famous in this park as they are often found in the trees. In the mid-afternoon, we will leave the park behind, climbing the Rift Wall and making our way to the Ngorongoro Conservation area. Overnight at Sopa lodge.
Day 3: The Ngorongoro Crater Floor
We start the day before sunrise with a warm cup of coffee and an excellent breakfast, before heading down to the crater floor. The location of the camp ensures that we are the first vehicle to get down to explore the world’s largest intact and unfilled volcanic caldera. The crater, which formed some three million years ago is the result of a large volcanic explosion in which the volcano collapsed on itself, leaving us with the 100 sq mile crater floor which today is rich Savannah and home to the densest population of wildlife in all of Tanzania. The early hours of the day allow us to enjoy the wildlife while it is most active, increasing our chances to see one of the last remaining Black Rhinos, before they head for shelter in the woodlands to escape the heat of the day. We will enjoy a picnic lunch near the Hippo pool. We will then make a last short game drive before heading back to camp. If time allows you may opt to enjoy a guided walking safari near the camp.
Day 4-5: The Serengeti Plains
We make our way down from the Ngorongoro Highlands and out onto the endless plains of the Serengeti, entering the park through the Naabi Hill gate, enjoying the game we find along the way towards the Seronera Sector located in the Center of the Serengeti. This area has rich year round game, but more importantly is known for its Big Cats. With some 26 different prides of lion, we will certainly have plenty of opportunities to enjoy them. Additionally Leopard and Cheetah are commonly spotted in the area.
Day 6-8: Mingle with the Migration
We will spend the next two days tracking the Great Migration, which is said to be the “Eighth Wonder of the World”. Over half a million Zebra and some 1.5 million wildebeest make their annual migration through the Serengeti ecosystem in search of greener pastures.
During the months of July, August, September we will position ourselves in the Northern Serengeti ideally located to catch the herds as they cross crocodile infested rivers as they head to the Masai Mara, and even in October we may catch them crossing back into the Serengeti as they return south.
Day 9: From the Bush to the Beach
After a final morning game drive you will be taken to the Kogatende or Ndutu Airstrip where you will board our first class shared charter to Zanizbar. On arrival at the airport you will be met by driver who will take you to the Northern tip of the Spice Island, where you will find pristine beaches and crystal clear water. You will then check into your room where you will find a complementary bottle of Sparkling Wine, to set the mood for this relaxing stay in paradise.
Day 10-13: The Spice Island
There are 2 main species of dolphins in Zanzibar, the humpback and the bottled nose dolphins. On this day you will have a chance to swim with the dolphins and after the swim you will go to Jozani forest where you will have to see the only monkeys in the world that are found in Zanzibar. The monkeys that eat grass and not fruits.
Day 14: As the Sunsets
After a final morning by the pool or on the white sandy beach, you will then be transferred to the Zanzibar International Airport to catch your return flight home. For those departing from Dar es Salaam, we can add the short shuttle flight for a small additional cost
