7-Day Tanzania Honeymoon Escape (Classic)

Share:

Days 1 - 3: Northern Serengeti

  • On arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you’ll be met and shown to a VIP lounge where you can relax whilst waiting for your connecting flight to the Serengeti. Upon arrival in your chosen national park, you will be met by a guide and provided with an overview of the surrounding area whilst enjoying a game drive to camp. On arrival, you’ll be provided with a briefing and camp overview, before sitting down for lunch and the opportunity to settle in.
  • In the afternoon, you will return to the bush with your guide and discover the incredible wildlife. The Serengeti is home to plentiful big cats, black rhino, elephant, buffalo and much more, offering a classic savannah plains safari. 
  • At sunset, head back to camp, where you can freshen up before enjoying drinks around the campfire, followed by a delicious dinner. A perfect ending to the first day of your honeymoon.
  • Depending on your preferences, there are a couple of options available as to how your day is structured. One option is to break camp early and head out with a picnic breakfast for a morning game activity, returning to camp in time for lunch. This allows you to leave camp as early as possible, as wildlife is often most active in the cool morning hours. In the afternoon, you can do another game activity or relax by the pool with a good book. Alternatively, you can eat breakfast at camp and head out on your game drive slightly later, with a picnic lunch to be enjoyed on the plains or overlooking the river, returning in the mid-afternoon. Private vehicle hire is optional, significantly increasing flexibility, but it must be booked in advance.
  • The camp offer game drives and walking safaris.  A hot-air balloon safari in the Serengeti is recommended, providing a unique perspective over the endless plains.
  • You will spend three days in the bush before heading to the coast and the romantic tropical islands of Fanjove for the remainder of your honeymoon.

Days 4 - 6: Fanjove Island

  • Today you are coming from the Serengeti, and you will fly to Songo Songo Island before taking an exciting 45-minute boat trip to the exclusive Fanjove Island.
  • After arriving at the secluded Fanjove Private Island, a hidden gem that offers a genuinely eco-friendly and authentic experience, you will settle into your charming A-framed wooden banda. This striking structure is open at the front, letting you soak in the uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean. The whole property has been designed to blend in with the pristine surroundings and minimise its environmental footprint. Solar power is employed for all the rooms, and the buildings use traditional, natural materials incorporating sustainable wood, makuti palm leaves and thatch.
  • Over the next few days, you can live out your wildest dreams of being a castaway on a tropical island. The island is home to a rich biodiversity of thousands of sea birds, nesting turtles and coconut crabs. Enjoy a picnic on a secluded sandbank, kayaking around the island, fishing, snorkelling, or scuba diving along the 11 km (7 miles) virgin coral reef.

 

Day 7: End of Itinerary

  • Feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, enjoy a final delicious breakfast while soaking up the serene ocean views before packing your bags. 
  • From Fanjove Private Island, you will take the 45-minute boat journey to Songo Songo Island before connecting with your short flight to Dar es Salaam, where you will check in for your international flight home.
