Your 10-Day Journey
From your arrival in Nairobi to your last sunset on Zanzibar -- every day is paced for romance, balancing intimate wildlife encounters across two countries with plenty of downtime to relax together.
Arrival and First Game Drive Together
Board a short domestic flight from Nairobi into the rolling Masai Mara savannah. Settle into your romantic tented camp, meet your dedicated guide, then head out for a gentle afternoon game drive to spot your first zebra, giraffe, and elephant as newlyweds.
Big Five Game Drive and Private Bush Dinner
A morning game drive in search of lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino with your private guide and vehicle. As the sun sets, retreat to a secluded spot on the plains for a candlelit private dinner beneath the stars, arranged just for the two of you.
Crossing Borders into the Serengeti
One last sunrise game drive in the Mara before a scenic light-aircraft transfer across the border into Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. Arrive in time for an afternoon game drive across the endless golden plains that give the Serengeti its name.
Sunrise Balloon Safari Over the Serengeti
Rise before dawn for an optional hot air balloon safari drifting silently above the plains, followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush. In the afternoon, track the great herds on a private game drive across one of the last great migration landscapes on earth.
Full Day Exploring the Endless Plains
A full day at leisure to explore the Serengeti's central and northern reaches with your private guide, following the migration if it is in the area, before ending with a romantic sundowner as the plains glow gold at dusk.
Descent into the Ngorongoro Crater
Drive south to the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest intact volcanic caldera, before descending onto the crater floor for an afternoon of exceptional game viewing amid one of the densest concentrations of wildlife in Africa.
Farewell to the Bush, Onward to the Island
Enjoy one last morning game drive on the crater floor before a scenic flight to the coast via Arusha, touching down on Zanzibar by early afternoon. Settle into your beachfront suite with the rest of the day free to unwind and take your first dip in the Indian Ocean.
Sunset Dhow Cruise and Snorkelling
Set sail on a traditional wooden dhow along the coastline, stopping to snorkel over shallow coral gardens teeming with colourful reef fish. As the sun dips over the ocean, sip chilled drinks on deck for one of the most romantic sunsets of the trip.
Spice Tour, Spa Day and Free Time on the Sand
Spend the morning on an optional guided spice plantation tour through Zanzibar's fragrant clove and vanilla groves, then the rest of the day entirely at your own pace -- sink into the white sand, book a couples' spa treatment overlooking the ocean, or simply relax under a palm-thatched umbrella together.
Final Morning and Departure
Enjoy a final relaxed breakfast overlooking the ocean before your transfer to Zanzibar airport for your onward or international flight home, carrying a lifetime of honeymoon memories from savannah to island.

What Our Guests Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often.
Yes. This itinerary is designed for couples, and our Signature Luxury and Ultra-Luxury tiers include a private vehicle and guide throughout the Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, so you won't be sharing your game drives with other travellers.
On Day 3 you take a light aircraft from the Masai Mara directly into the Serengeti, crossing the Kenya-Tanzania border in the air. Later, on Day 7, a further light aircraft connects Ngorongoro to Zanzibar via Arusha. Our team handles all connections, visas and border logistics so every transfer is fully assisted.
The balloon safari over the Serengeti is an optional add-on, separately quoted. Many honeymooners consider it one of the highlights of the trip, drifting silently over the plains at sunrise before landing to a champagne bush breakfast.
For the Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, pack neutral-coloured clothing, a warm layer for cool mornings and evenings (Ngorongoro can be chilly), comfortable shoes, sunscreen, hats and insect repellent. For Zanzibar, bring swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen, and light beachwear. A small daypack for game drives and a soft-sided bag for the flights are both useful.
No formal proof is required, though letting your camps and resorts know it's your honeymoon in advance means they can prepare special touches such as room upgrades, champagne, or a private dinner setup where available.
Absolutely. We regularly extend this honeymoon itinerary with additional nights in the Serengeti, a chimpanzee-tracking stop in Uganda or Rwanda, or a longer stay on Zanzibar. Speak to our specialists about tailoring your trip.
