Honeymoon Northern Circuit safari route in Tanzania

7 Days / 6 Nights

Honeymoon Northern Circuit

Just the two of you, and Africa.

Overview

The classic northern route, slowed down and built for two.

A honeymoon safari is a different animal to a first safari. The parks are the same; the pacing is not. We stretch the mornings, cut the driving where we can, and choose lodges for the view from the bed as much as the proximity to a gate.

The route still covers the north properly, from Tarangire's elephants and two Serengeti days to a scenic transition through Manyara or the highlands, with the Ngorongoro Crater as the finale. But the vehicle is yours alone, so nothing runs to a group's clock.

We arrange the quiet things without being asked: a private bush breakfast, a sundowner set up somewhere with nobody else in sight, dinner moved outside when the night is right for it.

    Toward the Serengeti

    Transfer to the Serengeti with wildlife viewing en route, arriving in time to settle in before an afternoon drive.

    A scenic transition

    A slow, beautiful travel day toward the Ngorongoro side, often via Lake Manyara or through the highland farms and forest above the Rift.

    Ngorongoro Crater

    Descend into the crater for a signature wildlife day on the caldera floor, closing with sundowners on the rim.
