Your 8-Day Journey
From your arrival in Arusha to your last sunset on Zanzibar -- every day is paced for romance, balancing intimate wildlife encounters with plenty of downtime to relax together.
Arrival and First Game Drive Together
Board a short light aircraft flight from Arusha into the endless Serengeti plains. 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.
Sunrise Balloon Safari and Sundowner Drive
Rise before dawn for an optional hot air balloon safari drifting silently over the Serengeti, followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush. In the afternoon, a leisurely game drive ends with a romantic sundowner as the plains glow gold.
Farewell to the Bush, Onward to the Island
Enjoy one last relaxed morning game drive before a scenic flight to Zanzibar via Arusha, touching down on the palm-fringed island 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.
Spa Day and Free Time on the Sand
A day entirely at your own pace -- sink into the white sand, take a dip in the resort pool, or book a couples' spa treatment overlooking the ocean. Explore Zanzibar's laid-back beach bars, or simply relax under a palm-thatched umbrella with your partner.
Stone Town Wander and Spice Farm Visit
Take a gentle, romantic walking tour through the winding lanes of historic Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, followed by a fragrant spice farm visit. Return to the resort for a final relaxed evening together, watching the sun set over the Indian Ocean.
Final Morning and Departure
Enjoy a final relaxed breakfast overlooking the ocean before your transfer to Zanzibar airport for your flight back to the mainland. Connect onward to your international flight home, carrying a lifetime of honeymoon memories from bush 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 Romantic Luxury and Ultra-Luxury tiers include a private vehicle and guide throughout the Serengeti, so you won't be sharing your game drives with other travellers.
On Day 4 you take a light aircraft from the Serengeti, connecting via Arusha to Zanzibar, a journey of roughly 2-3 hours in total. Our team handles all connections so the transfer is fully assisted.
The balloon safari is an optional add-on, separately quoted. Many honeymooners consider it one of the highlights of the trip, drifting silently over the Serengeti at sunrise before landing to a champagne bush breakfast.
For the Serengeti, pack neutral-coloured clothing, a warm layer for cool mornings, 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 coast are both useful.
No formal proof is required, though letting your 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 stop in the Ngorongoro Crater, or a longer stay on Zanzibar. Speak to our specialists about tailoring your trip.
