Day 1: Arrival in Tanzania – Welcome to the Land of Safari
Your adventure begins as you land at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), where a warm welcome awaits. A private transfer will take you to the Gran Meliá Arusha, a luxurious retreat nestled in the serene landscapes near Arusha. Spend the evening unwinding at the elegant resort, enjoying its world-class amenities, or take a leisurely stroll through the lush gardens. As the sun sets over Mount Meru, savor a delicious dinner under the stars, setting the tone for your unforgettable honeymoon safari.
Day 2: Arusha to Tarangire National Park – Giants & Baobabs
After breakfast, depart for Tarangire National Park, renowned for its massive elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. The park’s golden savannahs and winding riverbanks create a breathtaking backdrop for your first game drive. Spot lions lounging in the shade, giraffes gracefully moving through the acacia trees, and vibrant birdlife fluttering overhead. Enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic viewpoint before continuing your wildlife exploration. By evening, retreat to Elephant Springs Lodge, a romantic haven where you can relax on your private veranda, listening to the sounds of the African bush.
Day 3: Tarangire to Serengeti National Park – Into the Wild
Today, you journey toward the legendary Serengeti, passing through the dramatic Ngorongoro Highlands. Along the way, you may stop at a Maasai village (optional) to learn about their rich culture. As you enter the Serengeti via Naabi Hill Gate, the vast plains stretch endlessly before you. An afternoon game drive introduces you to this iconic wilderness—watch for cheetahs sprinting across the grasslands or lions basking on rocky outcrops. Your home for the next three nights is Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge, a luxurious camp where you’ll fall asleep to the distant calls of hyenas and wake to the sunrise over the savannah.
Day 4 & 5: Full Days in Serengeti National Park – The Great Migration & Predator Action
Spend two thrilling days immersed in the heart of the Serengeti. Morning and afternoon game drives offer endless opportunities to witness the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos—along with cheetahs, hyenas, and countless antelope species. If your visit coincides with the Great Migration, you’ll be awestruck by thousands of wildebeest and zebras thundering across the plains. For an extra-special experience, consider a hot air balloon safari at dawn, floating silently above the wildlife before landing for a champagne breakfast in the bush. Evenings are spent relaxing at Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge , enjoying gourmet meals and sharing stories under a sky ablaze with stars.
Day 6: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater – The Garden of Eden
After a final sunrise game drive in the Serengeti, you’ll journey to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO-listed natural wonder teeming with wildlife. The crater’s lush grasslands and soda lakes attract an incredible concentration of animals, including rare black rhinos, massive tusker elephants, and flocks of pink flamingos. Enjoy a picnic lunch by a hippo pool before ascending to your lodge. The Ngorongoro Serena Lodge, perched on the crater rim, offers breathtaking views—perfect for a romantic evening toast to your safari adventures.
Day 7: Ngorongoro to Kilimanjaro Airport – Farewell to Tanzania
On your final morning, you may opt for a short sunrise game drive or a visit to a Maasai boma to experience traditional dances and crafts. After breakfast, a scenic drive takes you back to Kilimanjaro Airport for your onward journey. As you bid farewell to Tanzania, you’ll carry with you unforgettable memories of thrilling wildlife encounters, breathtaking landscapes, and the magic of your safari.
