Elephant Kingdom and Baobab Sunset
Elephant Kingdom and Baobab Sunset
After breakfast, journey to Tarangire National Park, a quieter gem famed for its grand ancient baobabs and one of the largest concentrations of elephants in East Africa. The drive itself offers glimpses of rural life, farmers tending fields, children waving from dusty roadside paths, before the landscape opens into classic savannah.
Spend the day exploring Tarangire’s rolling hills and lush riverine forest. Watch elephants bathing in the life-giving Tarangire River, giraffes browsing elegantly among acacias, and prides of lions resting in the shade. The park’s seasonal swamps also attract migratory wildebeest, buffalo and a kaleidoscope of birdlife.
Pause for a picnic lunch in the wild and continue your game drive into the late afternoon, when the setting sun bathes the baobabs in golden light. Your secluded lodge or tented camp awaits, perfect for stargazing before an intimate dinner under a canopy of stars.

Day 3
Journey to the Endless Golden Savannah
Journey to the Endless Golden Savannah
Today you journey into the heart of Tanzania’s most iconic wilderness: the Serengeti. The drive across the Ngorongoro highlands and down into the endless plains is a breathtaking introduction to this World Heritage site. Golden grasslands stretch to the horizon, dotted with rocky outcrops known as kopjes where lions often bask.
Arrive at your luxury tented camp in time for lunch and a short rest. In the afternoon, set out for your first Serengeti game drive. Depending on the season you may witness the dramatic Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras, or observe resident wildlife such as cheetahs scanning the horizon, elephants ambling through the savannah and hyenas calling as dusk approaches.
Back at camp, enjoy the soft glow of lanterns and the gentle crackle of a campfire. A private dinner beneath the wide Serengeti sky creates an unforgettable evening of romance.

Day 4
Immersed in the Heart of the Serengeti
Immersed in the Heart of the Serengeti
Wake to the soft light of dawn and the distant roar of lions. After a leisurely breakfast or perhaps an optional early-morning hot air balloon flight, you’ll spend the entire day exploring different habitats of the Serengeti. The central plains, dotted with acacias and granite kopjes, host large prides of lions and provide ideal hunting grounds for cheetahs.
Your guide will tailor the day to maximize sightings, you might track a leopard lounging on a tree branch, watch hippos wallow in a tranquil pool, or simply pause to soak in the vast, untouched scenery. A picnic lunch served in a shaded spot allows you to remain immersed in the wilderness.
Return to camp in the late afternoon to relax with sundowners as the sky turns crimson. Another private, candlelit dinner rounds off this day of adventure and intimacy.

Final Game Drive in the Cradle of Wildlife
Final Game Drive in the Cradle of Wildlife
Depart the Serengeti after an early breakfast and travel through the misty Ngorongoro highlands to reach one of Africa’s most extraordinary natural wonders. Descend 600 meters to the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, an ancient volcanic caldera that shelters an astonishing density of wildlife.
Spend your morning on an extended game drive across the open grasslands and freshwater marshes. You may encounter black rhinos grazing quietly, prides of lions prowling the plains, and flocks of flamingos gathered at the crater’s central lake. Your guide will set up a picnic lunch in a scenic spot so you can dine surrounded by this incredible landscape.
After lunch begin your drive back to Arusha, hearts full of shared memories from silent dawns on the Serengeti to star-lit dinners in the bush. Your 5-day honeymoon safari ends here, but the magic of Tanzania’s wild romance will remain with you for a lifetime.
