Slow mornings, long evenings and three nights in the Serengeti
A balloon over the Serengeti at sunrise.
A safari planned for two: no shared vehicle, no rush, and three nights in the central Serengeti so you have time to enjoy the camp as well as the game drives.
The route covers Tarangire, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, with the nights in upper mid-range lodges and tented camps. Tell us it is your honeymoon and we let the lodges know.
Add a sunrise balloon flight in the Serengeti, or a few days on Zanzibar afterwards, and you have the classic Tanzania honeymoon.
