Day 1
Nairobi Arrival and Transfer to Masai Mara
Morning – Nairobi Arrival and Departure
Your Kenya Tanzania and Zanzibar honeymoon safari begins with arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi. Your Africa Bed of Roses Safaris guide meets you at arrivals and the journey south toward the Mara ecosystem begins immediately. The drive from Nairobi to the Masai Mara takes approximately five to six hours through the Rift Valley escarpment and the Mara’s rolling hill country, the landscape opening progressively as the city falls behind and the savannah begins. Alternatively, a scheduled light aircraft flight from Wilson Airport delivers you to the Mara in under an hour. Your guide confirms the transfer option at booking based on your arrival time and preferences.
Afternoon – First Mara Game Drive
Arrival at the Mara in time for lunch, check-in at your chosen camp, and the first afternoon game drive begins before the light changes. The Masai Mara in the first afternoon tends to produce the kind of encounter that resets all previous expectations. The plains are vast and open and the wildlife is everywhere: elephant herds on the horizon, cheetah scanning from the termite mounds, lion prides in the shade of the yellow-barked acacias, and the Mara River visible through the riverine forest at the plain’s edge. The late afternoon light on the Mara grass is the light that has defined East Africa in the global imagination, and experiencing it for the first time from an open vehicle has a quality that no photograph and no documentary can adequately prepare a first-time visitor for.
Evening – Campfire Dinner on the Mara Plains
The first Mara evening ends around the campfire at your camp. The sounds of the reserve carry across the plains in the darkness. Lions call. Hyenas work their circuits along the river. The Mara sky, far from any significant light pollution, holds one of the finest star canopies in East Africa. Your guide arranges a private campfire dinner for your couple, a table set in the bush with the fire burning and the Mara night around you.
Pre-Dawn – Hot Air Balloon Safari
The hot air balloon safari over the Masai Mara at sunrise is one of the defining experiences of any Kenya Tanzania Zanzibar honeymoon safari package, and one of the most purely romantic activities available anywhere in Africa. The balloon lifts before first light and drifts across the plains as the sun rises, the wildlife visible below moving through the early morning with complete unawareness of the balloon above. Lions on a kill. Elephant herds moving to water. The great migration herds spread across the grass in every direction. The flight lasts approximately one hour and concludes with a champagne breakfast served in the field by the camp’s team, a white-tablecloth meal in the middle of the Mara plains with the balloon laid out behind you. This experience is the reason the Mara section of the Kenya Tanzania honeymoon safari itinerary carries two nights.
Morning – Mara River Crossing Vigil
Your guide positions the vehicle at one of the established crossing points along the Mara River and the vigil begins. The wildebeest mass on the far bank in their thousands, building the collective courage that the crossing requires. When they go, they go suddenly and completely, pouring over the bank and into the water. It is the most intensely dramatic natural event on earth and no description adequately prepares a first-time witness for the scale and chaos and noise of it. Outside migration season the river vigil still rewards patience, with the Mara’s exceptional resident wildlife, the hippo pods, the Nile crocodiles, the extraordinary birdlife of the river margins, justifying every hour spent at the water.
Afternoon – Big Five Drive and Maasai Village
The full afternoon game drive covers the Big Five search across the Mara’s habitat zones: the open plains for cheetah and the migration herds, the riverine forest for leopard, the kopjes for lion, the swampy areas for buffalo and elephant. The Maasai village visit in the late afternoon gives cultural context for the landscape, the community’s centuries-long relationship with the Mara ecosystem providing a human dimension to the Masai Mara honeymoon safari that the game drives alone cannot.
Masai Mara Accommodation Options
Mara Serena Safari Lodge (Mid-Range Lodge, Mara Triangle, prime river crossing location), Mara Sopa Lodge (Mid-Range Lodge, eastern Mara), Governors’ Camp (Mid-Range Tented Camp, on the Mara River), Mara Intrepids Camp (Mid-Range Tented Camp, Talek area). 2 nights full board. Hot air balloon safari optional extra. Campfire dinner included. Drinking water provided.
Day 2
Full Day in the Masai Mara – Big Five, River Crossings and Hot Air Balloon
Day 3
Masai Mara to Amboseli National Park
Morning – Transfer from Masai Mara to Amboseli
The drive or flight from the Masai Mara to Amboseli covers the transition between the two Kenya sections of the Masai Mara Amboseli Serengeti honeymoon safari. The road transfer takes approximately four to five hours southeast from the Mara through Narok and the Rift Valley edge and then south on the Namanga road toward the Tanzania border. The approach to Amboseli, with Kilimanjaro appearing on the horizon well before the park boundary, is one of the great arrival moments of the entire safari. Arrive for lunch and the first afternoon drive.
Afternoon – Observation Hill and First Elephant Drive
The first Amboseli afternoon begins at Observation Hill, the only elevated point in the flat basin, where the park’s geography is immediately comprehensible: the swamps, the open plains, the elephant herds visible as moving shapes across the ground below, and Kilimanjaro to the south. The afternoon game drive covers the core elephant areas, the families moving between the swamps and the open ground in the late afternoon. The first Amboseli elephant encounter, with the mountain visible behind them and no other vehicle in the area, is one of those moments that couples consistently name as the defining experience of their Kenya Tanzania Zanzibar honeymoon holiday.
Evening – Private Sundowner Setup, Amboseli Plain
Africa Bed of Roses Safaris arranges a private sundowner setup on the Amboseli plain for your first Amboseli evening. A table in the open, cold drinks, Kilimanjaro turning pink and then orange and then dark as the light fades and the elephant herds move through the middle distance. It is the specific quality of Amboseli at evening that nothing else on this Kenya Tanzania safari holiday package replicates.
Pre-Dawn – Kilimanjaro Sunrise Drive
The most important drive of the Kenya section of this 15 days Kenya Tanzania Zanzibar honeymoon safari itinerary begins before sunrise. Kilimanjaro is most reliably clear in the pre-dawn hour before the cloud builds around the summit, and your guide positions the vehicle at the swamp edge as the sky lightens behind you and the mountain emerges to the south. The elephant families move onto the open plain as the light arrives, Kilimanjaro behind them and the bush quiet around you. It is the defining image of Kenya safari photography and it is experienced, in this hour, exactly as it should be.
Late Morning – Swamp Circuit and Bush Breakfast
The morning covers the Enkongo Narok and Longinye swamps in detail, the papyrus beds and open water where the elephant families spend the late morning bathing and socialising at full ease. A bush breakfast is served on the Amboseli plain in the late morning, a private table for two with Kilimanjaro behind you and the elephant herds visible at the swamp edge. It is the best breakfast setting on the African continent.
Afternoon – Big Five Drive and Tanzania Border Transfer Preparation
The afternoon covers the lion and cheetah territories of the open plain before the early evening preparation for the next morning’s transfer into Tanzania. The cheetah families of Amboseli use the flat ground where the open terrain gives them the hunting advantage their speed requires, and the Amboseli plain in the late afternoon light provides the most photogenic cheetah conditions in Kenya. Tonight is the last night in Kenya.
Amboseli Accommodation Options
Amboseli Sopa Lodge (Mid-Range Lodge, inside the park with Kilimanjaro views), Kibo Safari Camp (Mid-Range Tented Camp, on the park boundary), Ol Tukai Lodge (Mid-Range Lodge, inside the park near the swamps), Kimana Amboseli Camp (Mid-Range Tented Camp, Kimana Wildlife Corridor). 2 nights full board. Bush breakfast included. Private sundowner setup included. Drinking water provided.
Day 4
Full Day in Amboseli – Kilimanjaro Dawn Drive, Swamps and Bush Breakfast
Day 5
Amboseli to Arusha and Tarangire National Park
Morning – Tanzania Border Crossing and Transfer to Arusha
The morning transfer from Amboseli crosses the Namanga border into Tanzania and continues to Arusha, the gateway city for the Tanzania northern circuit safari. The drive from Amboseli to Arusha takes approximately three hours and the border crossing is straightforward. Arusha sits below the western slopes of Mount Meru and the approach to the city, with Kilimanjaro visible to the east on clear mornings and the Arusha National Park forest on the slopes above the town, is a fitting introduction to Tanzania. Lunch in Arusha, and then the drive south into Tarangire.
Afternoon – Tarangire Game Drive: Baobabs and the River
The first Tarangire afternoon drive introduces the Tanzania section of this Kenya Tanzania safari holiday package with an immediacy that silences any lingering expectation that Tarangire will be less than the parks that came before it. The Tarangire River circuit in the afternoon is the most productive game viewing route in the park, the dry-season concentration of wildlife along the water producing encounters with elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard, and the park’s exceptional bird life in a compressed area that the larger open plains of the Mara and Serengeti cannot replicate. The first sighting of an ancient baobab tree at close range, its trunk impossibly wide and its bark worn smooth by decades of elephants leaning against it, recalibrates the visitor’s sense of time and scale.
Evening – Sundowner Under the Baobabs
Your Tarangire evening sundowner is arranged under one of the park’s ancient baobab trees as the light falls golden across the dry landscape. The elephants move in the distance. The birds settle in the canopy above. Cold drinks and the particular silence of a Tanzanian evening in a landscape that has been carrying this weight of life and history for thousands of years.
Early Morning – Dawn Elephant Drive
The second Tarangire morning begins before sunrise on the river circuit, where the elephant herds spend the night in and around the permanent water. The dawn light on the Tarangire River, the elephants moving slowly in the early cool and the birds beginning their calls in the riparian forest, has a quality of completeness that belongs to this park alone on the Tanzania Kenya Zanzibar honeymoon safari itinerary. The guide positions the vehicle on the routes where the overnight elephant activity has been concentrated and the morning drive follows the herds as they disperse from the river into the surrounding bush.
Morning – Walking Safari in the Tarangire Buffer Zone
A walking safari in the buffer areas adjacent to the park gives the Tanzania portion of this honeymoon safari its most physically engaged morning. Moving on foot through the Tarangire landscape with an armed ranger, reading the tracks and signs that the vehicle-based drive passes without stopping, places your couple inside the ecosystem rather than observing it through a windscreen. The walk moves at the pace of what the ground is offering, slow and attentive, and the quality of attention it produces is different from anything a vehicle-based game drive can generate.
Afternoon – Northern Circuit and Bush Picnic
The afternoon covers the northern sections of the park where the tree-climbing lions are most reliably found, the behaviour believed to have developed in Tarangire as a response to the fly and insect pressure at ground level in the heat of the day. A bush picnic is set up in the park in the late afternoon, a private table for two in the baobab landscape with the late Tarangire light falling across the dry ground.
Tarangire Accommodation Options
Tarangire Sopa Lodge (Mid-Range Lodge, inside the park with panoramic views), Tarangire Safari Lodge (Mid-Range Lodge, above the Tarangire River), Maramboi Tented Camp (Mid-Range Tented Camp, on the edge of the park ecosystem). 2 nights full board. Walking safari included. Bush picnic included. Drinking water provided.
Day 6
Full Day in Tarangire – Elephant Herds, Walking Safari and Night Drive
Day 7
Tarangire to Serengeti National Park
Morning – Transfer from Tarangire to the Serengeti
The drive from Tarangire to the Serengeti covers the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and then descends onto the Serengeti plain through the Naabi Hill Gate. The journey takes approximately four hours and the descent from the Ngorongoro highlands onto the Serengeti is one of the great landscape transitions of the Tanzania northern circuit safari itinerary. The plain opens below you and continues to the horizon without interruption, the grass short on the central Serengeti and the kopjes rising from it at intervals, and the wildlife is visible from the first kilometre inside the gate. Arrive at your camp for lunch and an afternoon drive.
Afternoon – First Serengeti Drive: The Central Plains
The first Serengeti afternoon is given to the central plains, the Seronera valley and its river circuit where the resident lion prides and leopard population are most reliably encountered year-round. The Seronera River provides the permanent water that concentrates the predators, and the kopjes above the river hold the lions that have made this section of the Serengeti the most photographed wildlife landscape in the world. The first Serengeti lion encounter, at the pace and proximity that a habituated pride in the Seronera allows, is the encounter that confirms this park’s reputation.
Evening – Private Candlelit Bush Dinner
Africa Bed of Roses Safaris arranges a private candlelit bush dinner for your couple on the first Serengeti evening. A table set in the open, candles in the vast darkness of the Serengeti night, the sounds of the ecosystem coming in from every direction. The hyenas are close. The lions are somewhere in the darkness beyond the camp perimeter. It is the most affecting dinner setting on the entire Tanzania and Zanzibar honeymoon safari itinerary.
Pre-Dawn – Serengeti Balloon Safari
The Serengeti balloon safari at sunrise is the counterpart to the Mara balloon from Day 2 and it is, if anything, even more affecting for the scale of the landscape it reveals. The Serengeti from the air in the first light is the landscape that the word ‘Africa’ summons in the minds of everyone who has ever seen a wildlife film or a safari photograph, and being inside it at altitude in the silence of a hot air balloon is an experience that has no equivalent anywhere on the east Africa and Zanzibar honeymoon safari itinerary. The champagne breakfast in the field that follows is the best meal setting of the entire journey.
Morning – Great Migration Herds and River Crossing Vigil
The migration herds move through the Serengeti year-round, their position determined by the season’s rains. Your guide knows where the concentration is and positions the vehicle in the herd for the morning game drive, the wildebeest and zebra moving in every direction around the vehicle and the predators working the edges of the herd with the practised efficiency of animals that have been doing this work for thousands of generations. The Grumeti River crossing vigil, the Serengeti equivalent of the Mara crossing from Day 2, gives a second opportunity to witness the migration crossing in a different landscape and at a different scale.
Afternoon – Kopje Drive and Cheetah Plains
The afternoon covers the kopje circuit for the Serengeti’s resident leopard population, the great rock outcrops rising from the plain providing the elevation and the shade that the leopards use through the heat of the day. The open cheetah plains to the south give the best conditions for watching a cheetah hunt in the late afternoon, the flat ground and the short grass removing every obstacle between the predator and the prey and the observer.
Serengeti Accommodation Options
Serengeti Sopa Lodge (Mid-Range Lodge, central Serengeti, panoramic views), Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge (Mid-Range Lodge, near the Seronera valley), Serengeti Tortilis Camp (Mid-Range Tented Camp, central Serengeti), Neptune Serengeti Luxury Tented Camp (Mid-Range Tented Camp, Seronera area). 2 nights full board. Balloon safari optional extra. Candlelit bush dinner included. Drinking water provided.
Day 8
Full Day in the Serengeti – Migration, Predators and Balloon Safari
Day 9
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
Morning – Transfer from Serengeti to Ngorongoro
The drive from the central Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area follows the road east through the Serengeti’s woodland zone and then up through the Ngorongoro highlands to the crater rim. The journey takes approximately three hours and the arrival at the crater rim, with the first view down the 600-metre walls to the crater floor below, is one of the most arresting moments of the entire Tanzania and Kenya honeymoon safari package. The scale is not immediately comprehensible. The floor is so far below and so full of movement that it takes time to understand what you are looking at. Check in at your crater rim lodge with the view that every Ngorongoro accommodation has been designed around.
Afternoon – Crater Rim Walk and Highland Drive
The first Ngorongoro afternoon is spent on the crater rim, the highland moorland and forest of the conservation area providing a landscape completely different from the crater floor below. A guided walk along the rim gives the most complete view of the crater’s geography and allows the preparation for tomorrow’s descent to be made from a position of full understanding. The Maasai who live in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area outside the crater boundary are visible on the highland plains, their cattle moving across the moorland as they have for centuries in this landscape.
Evening – Crater Rim Sundowner
The Ngorongoro crater rim at sunset is the most dramatic sundowner position on the entire 15 days Kenya Tanzania and Zanzibar honeymoon safari itinerary. The light on the crater walls changes continuously as the sun drops behind the western rim, the floor below falling into shadow while the upper walls remain in full light. Cold drinks, the crater below you, and the full weight of what tomorrow holds already present in the view.
Early Morning – Crater Descent and Dawn Drive
The Ngorongoro crater descent begins at first light through the 4×4-only track that winds down the interior wall to the crater floor below. The descent takes approximately forty-five minutes and the arrival on the crater floor, with the walls rising in every direction and the vast floor spread across the enclosed plain, recalibrates everything that the rim view suggested about scale. The dawn drive covers the crater’s most productive early-morning areas, the Munge River swamp where the buffalo herds and hippos spend the night and the open soda lake where the flamingos stand in their thousands in the early morning light.
Morning – Black Rhino Search and Big Five Drive
The Ngorongoro Crater game drive is the most concentrated Big Five experience on the entire Tanzania Kenya Zanzibar honeymoon safari package. The crater’s resident lion prides are among the most studied in Africa. The leopard population uses the Lerai Forest. The elephant bulls that inhabit the crater are among the largest in Tanzania. The buffalo herds number in the thousands. And the black rhino, the rarest and most sought-after sighting, is found on the open crater floor and in the Lerai Forest, the tracking of its location assisted by the conservation authority’s monitoring programme. Finding a black rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater in the morning light, on the open floor with the crater walls behind it, is the single most affecting wildlife encounter on the Tanzania northern circuit safari itinerary.
Afternoon – Lerai Forest and Lake Drive
The afternoon covers the Lerai yellow fever acacia forest on the southern crater floor, the leopard habitat and the area where the elephant bulls most often rest in the heat of the afternoon. The soda lake circuit in the late afternoon, with the flamingo flocks shifting and reforming along the alkaline shore and the crater walls turning gold in the setting light, is the final hour of the descent before the ascent track takes your vehicle back up the crater wall and to the lodge above.
Ngorongoro Accommodation Options
Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge (Mid-Range Lodge, crater rim, panoramic crater views), Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge (Mid-Range Lodge, built into the crater rim), Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge (Mid-Range Lodge, crater rim). 2 nights full board. Full-day crater descent included. Drinking water provided.
Day 10
Full Day in Ngorongoro Crater – Descent, Black Rhino and Big Five
Day 11
Ngorongoro to Lake Manyara
Morning – Transfer from Ngorongoro to Lake Manyara
The drive from the Ngorongoro crater rim to Lake Manyara descends through the Ngorongoro highlands and the Karatu agricultural district before reaching the Rift Valley escarpment above the lake. The escarpment viewpoint, with the lake visible far below and the Tanzania plains stretching to the south, is one of the great vantage points of the northern Tanzania safari itinerary. Arrive at your Manyara lodge for lunch and the afternoon game drive.
Afternoon – Lake Manyara Game Drive: Forest, Flamingos and Tree-Climbing Lions
The Manyara afternoon game drive covers the full north-south range of the park, beginning in the groundwater forest where the elephant families move through the dense undergrowth and the colobus monkeys hold the canopy overhead, continuing to the open grasslands where the hippo pools lie at the lake’s edge, and finishing on the open floodplain where the flamingo concentrations are largest and the tree-climbing lions are most often found. The tree-climbing lions, resting in the branches of the fever trees above the floodplain in the heat of the afternoon, are one of Tanzania’s most photographed wildlife behaviours and one of the most specifically Manyara experiences on the entire Kenya Tanzania safari itinerary.
Evening – Escarpment Sundowner with Rift Valley Views
Your Lake Manyara sundowner is arranged at the escarpment edge above the park, the full sweep of the Rift Valley visible below and the lake holding the last light of the day in the distance. It is the broadest and most geologically revealing view on the entire 15 days Kenya Tanzania Zanzibar honeymoon safari, the Rift Valley’s scale comprehensible from this position as it is from nowhere else on the itinerary.
Morning – Manyara Walking Safari
The Lake Manyara walking safari moves through the groundwater forest on the park’s northern shore, the guide reading the forest floor’s record of overnight elephant movement and identifying the bird species in the canopy above. Walking in the Manyara forest, the trees enormous overhead and the ground soft and damp beneath the roots, produces a different quality of attention from the vehicle-based game drives that have dominated the past eight days. The forest is dense enough that distance is measured in metres rather than kilometres and every step requires conscious placement.
Afternoon – Transfer to Kilimanjaro View Point and Zanzibar Flight Preparation
The afternoon transfer from Lake Manyara to Kilimanjaro International Airport for the evening flight to Zanzibar marks the transition from the Tanzania safari itinerary to the Indian Ocean coast. The drive to the airport gives a final view of the northern Tanzania highlands and the agricultural communities that surround the national parks, the human landscape that provides the context for the wild landscapes the past eight days have moved through. The evening flight to Zanzibar takes approximately one hour.
Lake Manyara Accommodation Options
Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge (Mid-Range Lodge, on the escarpment above the park), Manyara Wildlife Safari Camp (Mid-Range Tented Camp, inside the park), Lake Manyara Hotel (Mid-Range Hotel, escarpment edge). 2 nights full board. Walking safari included. Escarpment sundowner included. Drinking water provided.
Day 12
Lake Manyara – Walking Safari, Canoe Safari and Kilimanjaro Transfer
Day 13
Arrival in Zanzibar – Stone Town and Sunset Dhow Cruise
Morning – Stone Town Orientation Walk
Your arrival in Zanzibar in the morning, or overnight from the Kilimanjaro flight, is followed by a guided orientation walk through the lanes of Stone Town with your Zanzibar guide. Stone Town is a living city and the walk covers the Fish Market, the House of Wonders, the Old Fort, the former Slave Market and the Anglican Cathedral built on its site, and the carved door workshops that continue the island’s most distinctive architectural tradition. The walk is essential context for the Zanzibar portion of the Kenya Tanzania and Zanzibar honeymoon safari itinerary and the lanes, once walked, create a mental map that allows the rest of the Stone Town time to be spent independently.
Afternoon – Spice Farm Tour
The Zanzibar spice farm tour visits one of the central island’s working farms where cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, and black pepper are grown among the fruit trees and the coconut palms. The guide identifies and presents each spice in its growing form, the whole clove bud before drying, the nutmeg inside its mace, the vanilla pod on the vine, and the experience of encountering the origins of flavours that pervade the world’s cooking in their native landscape is one of the most unexpectedly affecting moments of the Zanzibar section of the Tanzania Zanzibar honeymoon safari package.
Evening – Sunset Dhow Cruise from Stone Town Harbour
The sunset dhow cruise from Stone Town harbour is the most romantic evening that Zanzibar offers and one of the most romantic evenings on the entire 15 days Kenya Tanzania and Zanzibar honeymoon safari itinerary. A traditional wooden dhow moves slowly out of the harbour as the sun drops toward the Indian Ocean horizon, the Stone Town waterfront visible behind you and the open sea ahead. Cold drinks on deck, the light changing on the water, the silhouettes of other dhows on the horizon, and the Stone Town skyline turning from gold to pink to dark as the evening arrives.
Morning – Transfer to North Coast Beach
The transfer from Stone Town to the north coast beaches at Nungwi or Kendwa takes approximately one hour north through the island’s centre. The north coast of Zanzibar is where the Indian Ocean is at its most immediately beautiful, the tide consistently low enough that the beach extends far into the turquoise water and the coral sand is white and firm underfoot. Check in at your north coast lodge or hotel and take the morning as a completely unscheduled arrival at the coast.
Afternoon – Free Time on the Indian Ocean
The final full afternoon of the 15 days Kenya Tanzania Zanzibar honeymoon safari itinerary is without programme. Swimming in the Indian Ocean. Reading on the beach. A snorkelling trip on the reef if the tide and conditions are right. Exploring the beach road and the fishing village behind the resort. Whatever the coast offers and whatever your couple wants from it. After fourteen days of game drives, treks, transfers, cultural visits, crater descents and forest walks, the Indian Ocean afternoon asks nothing. It is the right ending to an itinerary that has asked a great deal and given a great deal more in return.
Final Evening – Private Candlelit Beachfront Dinner
Africa Bed of Roses Safaris arranges a private candlelit beachfront dinner for your final Zanzibar evening. A table on the sand at the water’s edge, candles in the Indian Ocean breeze, the sound of the tide and the last stars of East Africa overhead. It is the correct conclusion to fifteen days that began in the Masai Mara and moved through Kenya and Tanzania and across the water to the coast. The journey has covered everything that East Africa’s most celebrated honeymoon destinations can offer and it has offered them in the sequence and at the pace that the best Kenya Tanzania safari tour company knows how to deliver.
Zanzibar Accommodation Options
Stone Town (Night 13): Zanzibar Serena Hotel (Mid-Range Heritage Hotel, on the Stone Town waterfront), Tembo House Hotel (Mid-Range Boutique Hotel, Stone Town harbour). North Coast (Night 14): Z Hotel Zanzibar (Mid-Range Boutique Hotel, Nungwi), Kendwa Rocks Hotel (Mid-Range Beach Hotel, Kendwa), Mnarani Beach Cottages (Mid-Range Boutique, Nungwi). 2 nights accommodation (bed and dinner basis). Spice farm tour included. Sunset dhow cruise included. Beachfront private dinner included. Drinking water provided.
Day 14
Zanzibar North Coast Beach Day
Day 15
Departure from Zanzibar
Morning – Final Beach Walk and Airport Transfer
The final morning of your 15 days Kenya Tanzania and Zanzibar honeymoon safari itinerary begins at the ocean. A last walk on the north coast beach before the transfer south to Zanzibar International Airport for outbound flights. The drive from the north coast to the airport takes approximately one hour and the route through the island’s centre gives a final impression of the spice island landscape, the coconut palms and the clove trees and the small farms that have made Zanzibar what it was and what it remains.
Fifteen days. Eight destinations. Two countries and an island. The lions and the river crossings of the Masai Mara, the elephants and the mountain of Amboseli, the baobabs and the elephant highways of Tarangire, the endless plains of the Serengeti, the extraordinary blue bowl of the Ngorongoro Crater, the tree-climbing lions and flamingos of Lake Manyara, the carved doors and dhow harbour of Stone Town, and the white sand and turquoise water of the Indian Ocean coast. This is Africa’s most complete Kenya Tanzania Zanzibar honeymoon safari package, and it has been experienced in the way it deserves: privately, at depth, with honeymoon-specialist guides who know their landscapes and with the quality of attention that the best Kenya Tanzania and Zanzibar honeymoon tour company can provide and that this journey has always deserved.
