Next, we drive for approximately two hours towards Lake Manyara and Karatu, where the lodge is already waiting for you. Afterwards, it is time to unwind in a comfortable bungalow, allowing you to reflect on a day full of unforgettable safari experiences.
One of the most pristine parts of Tanzania
✓ Remote and peaceful wilderness
✓ Large herds of elephants and swamps
✓ Authentic safari away from the crowds
Day 5
After breakfast, we leave Karatu and this time drive a good 100 km further to enter the legendary Serengeti. This is a drive of about five hours over good but often also very bad, typically bad African roads, until we reach the central part (Seronera).
Driving through the Ngorongoro Highlands is certainly an experience that immerses you in the natural beauty this location has to offer.
Entering a true safari dreamland
✓ Long safari drive towards Serengeti
✓ Spotting wildlife along the way
✓ Arrival at an iconic park
Day 6
This will be a full day in the beautiful Serengeti central. After breakfast, we explore this vast area in one of Africa’s most awe-inspiring safari areas. Because there are not many “real” roads here, the wildlife can live here completely undisturbed, which also makes this area excellent for year-round safaris.
You ride through these endless plains again. The name “Serengeti” is derived from the word “seringit” in the Maasai language Maa, meaning “endless plains.”
Highlight of the trip
✓ Chance of seeing the Big Five
✓ Sunrise possible during safari
✓ Photo opportunities
Day 7
Today we leave the endless plains of the Serengeti behind and travel on to one of the absolute highlights of Tanzania: the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. Naturally, we descend to the crater floor, where we will search for the rare rhinoceros, among other things. Together, this forms another unforgettable experience during your honeymoon.
This impressive crater was formed approximately two million years ago following a massive volcanic eruption. As a result, a fertile crater floor developed with a unique and thriving ecosystem. Moreover, thousands of wild animals live here in a relatively small area, making the chance of spectacular encounters particularly high. The backdrop of the steep crater walls furthermore makes this safari extra romantic and undoubtedly creates memories to cherish for a long time.
One of the most beautiful places in Africa
✓ Descent into the crater
✓ Unique ecosystems
✓ High concentration of wildlife
Day 8
Unfortunately, this will be the last day on Tanzanian soil. But there is more: Zanzibar. The drive to Arusha is another 3 hours. Your plane to ZZB will be waiting there shortly after noon, and in barely an hour you will already be where this honeymoon begins a new chapter.
An idyllic end to the trip
✓ Transition from safari to tropical paradise
✓ White beaches and turquoise water in sight
✓ Time to relax and savor the memories
Day 9 – 14
Like most countries in East Africa, close to the equator, Zanzibar enjoys a pleasant tropical climate all year round. As a result, days and nights are almost always of equal length, each approximately 12 hours. Furthermore, always nice daytime temperatures making Zanzibar an ideal destination for a sun holiday.
However, besides the beautiful beaches, Zanzibar has much more to offer. Thanks to its rich heritage and unique cultural history, the island is also an excellent destination for travelers wishing to discover its fascinating past. Historical sights, local traditions, and a unique blend of African, Arab, and European influences provide a valuable addition to a relaxing beach holiday.
The perfect balance between tranquility and discovery
✓ Culture and charm of Stone Town
✓ Tropical atmosphere and vibrant colors
✓ Scents of spices and exotic markets
