The safari honeymoon itinerary, day by day
An African safari honeymoon itinerary written for two: intimate camps with private plunge pools, a night under the stars, and a private-villa finish on Zanzibar with nobody to answer to.
Nothing here is fixed. In fact, this is the route we plan most often. So tell us what to keep, lengthen or swap, and we’ll send you your own version, fully priced.
June–October for the classic dry season; January–March for green-season privacy and value.
US travelers: check current entry requirements for each country on travel.state.gov and we also walk you through visas at booking.
Arusha
Land to rose petals and a garden suite on a coffee estate, then sleep off the flight together.
Ngorongoro
A crater-rim lodge with fireplaces and long views; dawn descent to the crater floor, champagne picnic included.
Serengeti
An intimate Serengeti camp with plunge-pool suites: private game drives, a bush dinner for two and an optional star-bed sleep-out.
Zanzibar
Fly to Zanzibar (timing varies with routing and stops, normally about 1 hour 40 minutes to 3 hours) to a private-pool villa for sandbank picnics, dhow sunset sails and spa mornings.
Home
Fly out of Zanzibar, married and rested.
Where you’ll stay on your honeymoon
We select your accommodation privately after we understand your dates, pace and priorities. Then we recommend each camp, lodge or villa for its location, guiding, privacy, room configuration and seasonal suitability. You’ll also see the places we suggest, and why, in your proposal.
Plan your private safariEvery camp night, all meals and house drinks on safari.
A private expert guide and 4x4 where specified; at fly-in camps, game drives may be shared unless a private vehicle is reserved.
Park fees, light-aircraft hops and meet-and-greet on every leg.
Priced to your budget, your camps and the season. No set packages.
