10 Days 9 Nights Tanzania Honeymoon Experiences Safari

Arrival at Arusha

Upon the arrival of your  flight to Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met by a Wyatt  Dynasty Safaris representative who will transfer you to the Arusha  Serena Hotel and Spa, set quietly beside Lake Duluti on the outskirts of  Arusha. When arriving at the hotel, you are greeted by a friendly staff  member who offers refreshments before turning in to rest after your  travels.

This morning, you’ll be picked up early, and your private safari guide  will be prepared with some delectable packed lunches. After that, you’ll  drive out of Arusha and through the scenic Maasai Steppe Area on your  way to Tarangire National Park, which is around 90 minutes away. This is  Tanzania’s sixth largest national park, and it is known for its large  herds of elephants, ancient and magnificent baobab trees, tree-climbing  African Pythons, and a diverse range of beautiful bird species. Before  driving off early this evening to the Ngorongoro Highlands, you will  enjoy a full day game drive in the park and a picnic lunch at one of the  several picnic sites. In the late afternoon, after a game drive, you  will reach the lodge late in the evening and spend the rest of the day  enjoying the lovely setting as well as the amenities on offer before  having dinner and overnight.

After a hearty breakfast, travel to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area,  stopping for lunch along the way at Gibb’s Estate, a 1920s coffee farm  that has been lovingly renovated to create a tranquil guesthouse  surrounded by floral gardens. After that, you’ll have the opportunity to  learn about the Iraqw tribe’s people’s culture and beliefs, as well as  join them for some dance, before continuing on to the Ngorongoro Serena  Safari Lodge. This one-of-a-kind low-rise stone lodge on the crater’s  western edge appears to rise out of the natural surroundings. It’s a  beautiful spot to see the sunrise. You’ll have access to your own  rock-enclosed balcony with unobstructed crater views during your stay.

This morning’s early start will be well worth it for the opportunity  to spend the entire day in the Ngorongoro Crater, complete with a picnic  lunch overlooking a small hippo lake. Explore the magnificent crater  and its animals by descending 600 meters below the rim. Explore the  woodland, lake, and open grassland settings in the hopes of spotting a  great number of animals—after all, the crater is home to Africa’s  densest concentration of species. After spending a 6 hours game drive in  the Ngorongoro crater, you will make a visit to see a Maasai village.  This will be an opportunity for you to learn about the unique  traditional way of life of this majestic warrior tribe. This tribe  stands out because they have managed to maintain their culture despite  the changes that has occurred around them. Later in the late afternoon  you will drive back to  Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge for dinner and  the night.

After a very early breakfast, continue your journey into the heart of  Tanzania by heading west, towards the Serengeti Plains via the  Ngorongoro conservation area. You’ll make a stop en route to see    the  Olduvai Gorge Archaeological Museum, the site of Louis and Mary Leakey’s  renowned archaeological discoveries along the way. Some of the man’s  earliest known ancestral remains were discovered there. As you leave  Olduvai, you’ll pass through the ‘Shifting Sands’ area, which is a  spectacular volcanic sand dune phenomenon in the middle of the Endless  Plains. After arriving in the Serengeti’s central region, you’ll spend  some time searching the ‘Kopjes’ areas for the Serengeti’s resident big  cats, which are frequently seen here. You will then be heading to your  lovely permanent tented camp nearby to spend the night. The Lodge’s  location will be chosen with care to provide excellent game and  migration viewing during the season while remaining away from the park’s  busier areas.

After breakfast, go on another full-day game drive through the  central area of this wonderful park, admiring the flora and fauna. This  will be another spectacular day, with a picnic lunch held in the wild  again. The Seronera area is a year-round destination for wonderful game  viewing and is home to literally hundreds of thousands of hoofed  animals. The Serengeti ecosystem is the world’s oldest. It has a unique  variety of plants and animals that are not found anywhere else on the  planet. The Great Migration is the world’s largest overland migration. .  The animals travel a total of 800 kilometres or more during each cycle,  whereby approximately over a million wildebeest and tens of thousands  of zebras and gazelles form one super herd. You will have the option to  depart from the tent lodge very early this morning for a hot air balloon  flight over the magnificent Serengeti, and you will then enjoy a  champagne breakfast in the wild on landing. This option could be booked  and paid for in advance or directly at the lodge.

fter breakfast, check out and, after repacking your lunches, take a road  transfer to the adjacent Seronera airstrip for the morning scheduled  flight to Arusha airport, arriving around noon. After that, you’ll take a  short flight to Zanzibar, the spice island. You will arrive in  Zanzibar. One hour later, you will be met and get a private road  transfer heading for your guided tour of the “Stone Town.” This tour is  mostly done on foot. You will discover the streets, architecture, daily  life, and places of interest in the historic and fascinating Old City  and later enjoy shopping in the bazaars and other souvenir and antique  shops found in the unique narrow streets of Zanzibar. It features the  turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and just a hint of spice in the  warm and fragrant tropical air. Then you will get a 1-hour private road  transfer to Neptune Pwani Beach Resort and Spa, your lovely facility  located at “Kiwengwa” on the northeastern peninsula of the Zanzibar  Island. You will spend the rest of the evening settling in to your  “deluxe room” before having dinner later on and then retiring for the  night.

After breakfast, spend the remaining day relaxing on the hotel’s  beachfront, snorkeling, or participating in other hotels’ and marine  activities. Some activities are included in the package, while others  are optional and can be booked and paid for at the resort.

After breakfast, check out and have a road transfer back to Zanzibar  International Airport in preparation for your departure flight.
