The Journey

A Honeymoon of Plains & Paradise

This is the honeymoon for couples who want the magic of Africa without the packing and repacking — just two beautiful bases and the time to savour them. After an arrival night in Arusha, you fly out onto the legendary Serengeti, settling into an intimate tented camp on the plains for four unhurried nights of game drives, sundowners and starlit dinners.

Then it is wheels-up for the spice island of Zanzibar, where four days at Zuri on the north coast mean nothing more taxing than choosing between the pool, the reef and the hammock. Few changes, two superb settings, and all the time in the world to simply be together.

A Night in Arusha

Arusha, Tanzania

Begin gently. After the long flight, a graceful garden lodge near Mount Meru lets you rest and share a quiet first dinner before flying out onto the Serengeti the next morning.

Signature Experiences During Your Stay

  • Restful arrival — a calm, elegant room set in coffee-plantation gardens, arranged on arrival.
  • An unhurried dinner — your first evening in Tanzania at your own pace.
  • Seamless onward flight — a private transfer to the airstrip for your scenic flight to the Serengeti.

Serengeti Under Canvas

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

An intimate, classic mobile camp that moves with the wildlife across the great plains — elegant canvas suites with en-suite bucket showers and private verandas, pitched in prime positions for the migration and the big cats, with barely another soul in sight.

Signature Experiences During Your Stay

  • Twice-daily game drives — lion, leopard, cheetah and, in season, the great wildebeest migration across the plains.
  • Hot air balloon safari — drift over the Serengeti at dawn with a champagne bush breakfast (optional).
  • Guided nature walks — explore the bush on foot with an expert ranger (where permitted).
  • Private bush dinner — a candlelit table laid under the vast Serengeti sky, just for two.
  • Sundowners on the plains — a drink in hand as the sun sinks over the endless grass.

  • White-sand beach & reef — swim, snorkel and laze on one of Zanzibar’s finest shores.
  • Sunset dhow cruise — sail a traditional dhow as the sun sinks into the ocean (optional).

Day by Day

Ten Days, Plains to Paradise

From the endless Serengeti to the white sand of Zanzibar — here is how your days unfold.

Day 1

Arrival in Arusha

Arusha Dinner & rest

Met at Kilimanjaro International and transferred to a graceful garden lodge in the coffee country near Mount Meru. Settle in, enjoy a first dinner and rest — your honeymoon begins.

Day 2

Fly Arusha → Serengeti

Onto the Plains

Serengeti Under Canvas Afternoon game drive

A morning light-aircraft flight out onto the legendary Serengeti. Settle into your canvas suite, and head out on your first game drive across the golden plains at golden hour, sundowners in hand.

Days 3 – 4

The Great Plains

Lion & cheetah Balloon safari

Two full days to savour the Serengeti — twice-daily game drives for lion, leopard and cheetah (and the migration in season), an optional dawn hot air balloon safari with champagne breakfast, and a private bush dinner under a sky thick with stars.

Day 5

A Day for the Two of You

Nature walk Sundowners

Your last full day on the plains, at your own pace — a morning drive, perhaps a guided nature walk, and a lazy afternoon watching the wildlife from camp. One last sundowner on the Serengeti before you turn towards the sea.

Day 6

Fly Serengeti → Zanzibar

Plains to Paradise

Zuri Zanzibar Island arrival

A scenic flight from the plains to the spice island of Zanzibar. Your bright beachfront villa at Zuri awaits on the north coast — the afternoon is yours for a first swim and a spectacular sunset over the ocean.

Days 7 – 9

Barefoot on the Indian Ocean

Dhow & snorkel Spa

Three days of pure island time — snorkel the reef, sail a sunset dhow, surrender to a spa treatment by the sea, wander Stone Town and a spice farm, or simply do nothing at all. Candlelit seafood dinners with your toes in the sand close each day.

Day 10

Depart Zanzibar

Departure

Onward international flight

A relaxed final morning by the sea before your transfer to Zanzibar airport and your onward international flight — the plains in your memory, the ocean on your skin, and a marriage begun exactly as it should.

A private candlelit moment for two

The Intimate Touches

Moments Made Only for Two

Candlelit on the Plains

A private bush dinner under the vast Serengeti sky — lanterns, fine food and the sounds of the night, just for two.

Sunrise Aloft

An optional dawn balloon over the Serengeti, then a champagne breakfast in the long grass as the plains wake.

A Dhow at Sunset

Sail a traditional wooden dhow off Zanzibar as the sun melts into the Indian Ocean, champagne in hand.

Few Moves, More Time

Just two beautiful bases — a Serengeti camp and a Zanzibar beach — so you spend your days together, not in transit.

Spa by the Sea

A couples’ treatment on the Zanzibar shore to the sound of the waves — the gentlest possible finale.

Every Sunset Toasted

From Serengeti sundowners to Zanzibar’s famous sunsets — the day always ends with a drink in hand, side by side.
