Private bush dinner under the stars in the Serengeti
Romantic Serengeti & Zanzibar — 7-Day Honeymoon Safari
Experience Overview
This honeymoon combines the drama of a Tanzanian safari with the calm of the Indian Ocean, with every day planned for two.
Safari for two
Begin with a sundowner over the Rift Valley after a day among Tarangire's elephants, then spend a day in the Ngorongoro Crater with a picnic surrounded by wildlife and a night on the crater rim. From there you drive into the Serengeti, where you stay at the five-star Four Seasons Safari Lodge, with an infinity pool overlooking a waterhole visited by elephants, and your first evening ends with a private dinner in the bush under the stars. The next morning you float over the plains in a hot-air balloon before a champagne breakfast on the savanna, and spend the afternoon with lion prides, leopards and cheetahs.
From the Serengeti to the coast
A flight takes you straight from the Serengeti to Zanzibar, where a boutique beach resort, a sunset dhow cruise and the option of snorkelling, a spice tour or a couples' spa treatment bring your honeymoon to a gentle close.

Itinerary
An editorial journey through each day of the safari, with destinations, imagery, and places you will stay.
Arrival in Arusha
Welcome to Tanzania. A private transfer takes you from Kilimanjaro International Airport to a boutique lodge on the outskirts of Arusha, where your room has been prepared for your honeymoon.
Spend the afternoon resting by the pool or walking in the gardens, then enjoy a romantic welcome dinner with views of Mount Meru as your guide introduces the week ahead.
Overnight: boutique lodge in Arusha (Full Board)
Tarangire and a Rift Valley Sundowner
Drive two hours to Tarangire National Park for a day among its elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. Your guide follows the Tarangire River, where elephants, buffalo and giraffe come to drink, and looks out for lions resting in the shade.
After a picnic lunch in the park, continue game viewing through the afternoon. As the sun goes down, your guide sets up a private sundowner at a lookout over the Rift Valley — cocktails, snacks and the landscape all to yourselves.
Overnight: lodge in the Tarangire area (Full Board)
Ngorongoro Crater
After an early breakfast, drive up through the Karatu highlands to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full day among its wildlife — lion, elephant, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, hippo and, with luck, black rhino — with a romantic picnic lunch on the crater floor.
Climb back to the rim in the late afternoon for the night at a lodge with views over the caldera, where dinner is served as the light fades over the crater.
Overnight: lodge on the Ngorongoro Crater rim (Full Board)
Into the Serengeti — Private Bush Dinner
After breakfast, drive west across the Ngorongoro highlands and down onto the Serengeti plains, stopping at the Olduvai Gorge viewpoint on the way. Game viewing begins as soon as you enter the park, and you reach the Four Seasons Safari Lodge in the heart of the Serengeti in time for lunch. Built on raised walkways, the lodge looks out over a waterhole where elephants regularly come to drink.
After an afternoon game drive across the plains, the lodge team prepares a private dinner in the bush, lit by lanterns and a campfire, with only the sounds of the night around you.
Overnight: Four Seasons Safari Lodge, Serengeti (Full Board)
Serengeti — Balloon Flight and Bush Breakfast
Rise before dawn for a hot-air balloon flight over the Serengeti. Drift above the plains as the sun comes up, watching for herds of wildebeest and zebra, giraffes and elephants below, then land for a champagne breakfast set up on the savanna.
After a restful middle of the day at the lodge, spend the afternoon on a game drive in big-cat territory, where your guide searches the kopjes and river valleys for lion prides, leopards and cheetahs.
End the day with a quiet sundowner on the plains.
Overnight: Four Seasons Safari Lodge, Serengeti (Full Board)
Fly to Zanzibar — Beach and Sunset Dhow
After a final early game drive, your guide takes you to the Serengeti airstrip for your flight to Zanzibar. A private transfer takes you to your boutique beach resort, where the rest of the day is yours to enjoy the white sand and warm water of the Indian Ocean.
In the late afternoon, board a traditional wooden dhow for a sunset cruise along the coast, with drinks on board as the sky turns orange and pink.
Overnight: boutique beach resort in Zanzibar (Full Board)
Zanzibar and Departure
Enjoy a final morning at the resort with a couples' spa treatment, a swim or a walk along the beach. If you prefer, join an optional spice tour or a snorkelling trip on the reef before lunch.
In the afternoon, a private transfer takes you to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport for your onward flight.
End of honeymoon safari.

Super Safari, inoubliable avec un super guide nommé Bonaventura qui a su nous faire découvrir la faune et la flore de son pays avec générosité et passion. Nous avons pu voir les big Five. Nous le recommandons fortement! Ce fut une expérience riche en couleurs, aussi, bien d'un point de vue humain, que d'un point de vue découverte des animaux et des paysages.

Nous avons vécu un moment inoubliable en famille lors de notre safari ! Nos guides ont rendu ce voyage exceptionnel du début à la fin grâce a leur générosité de partage et nous faire découvrir leur terre et nature ! D'u e grande connaissance de la faune et de la nature, toujours gentils et attentifs, Euge se missionnait pour trouver tous les animaux que nous désirions voir et Erick nous commentait toutes les lois de la nature ! Ce sont eux qui ont donné un véritable sens à ces jeux avec les animaux ! Avec grand respect ! Chaque moment était remplis d'émotions et les big five tous cochés ! Un immense merci pour cette expérience magique que nous n'oublierons jamais. Nous recommandons à 100 % cette agence et surtout nos guides Euge et Erick

Nous avons été ma fille et moi prisent en charge par Hussein et Francis. Ce guide était juste parfait, il nous a donné des explications très intéressantes et surtout les deux ont fait découvrir la vraie nature. Le parc TARANGIRE et tous ces éléphants. Le parc du lac MANYARA et ses singes, et la visite du village MTO WA MBU. Et le dernier parc, le NGORONGORO où il y avait des animaux à voir de tous les côtés. Nous avons grâce à valider 4 animaux du big five : lions, éléphants, rhinocéros et les buffles. Nous avons vu des troupeaux d'éléphants, de gnous, de zèbres, de lionnes, de buffles, de gazelles et bien d'autres animaux. C'était magnifique, magique, incroyable, époustouflant. Merci à vous deux

We were fortunate to be accompanied for 7 days by Jones, our French-speaking guide, on safari through Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Tarangire. Traveling as a family spanning three generations, we were all amazed by his exceptional knowledge of wildlife, perseverance, and infectious enthusiasm. Thanks to him, we were able to observe all the iconic animals in perfect conditions, often feeling as if we were alone in spectacular landscapes. A special thank you also to Georges, who accompanied us in another vehicle for the luggage and brought good humor and positivity every day. Thanks to Jones and Georges, this safari will remain a magical, authentic, and emotional experience. We highly recommend them to anyone dreaming of an unforgettable safari in Tanzania. Hakuna Matata!

Super. David est à l écoute de nos demandes. Il connaît son métier par coeur. Il est dévoué. Et surtout il est au top. Il prépare les pic nique et non des box et il est même équipé de une nappe. Il est attachant, on a pas envie de le quitter.

Incroyable safari en compagnie de notre super guide Boni qui parle français ! Merci pour ses explications détaillées. Au-delà d'avoir été notre guide, Boni est une très bonne personne ! Au programme du safari : Parc de Manyara, Ngorongoro et Tarangire et rencontre avec les tribus Datoga et Hadzabes avec de très bons plats à chaque pique-nique du midi. Merci à Boni, Lomo Tanzania Safari et Terra Africa pour l'organisation. Asante sana
