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.
