    As you arrive at the Kilimanjaro International Airport you are welcomed by our representative who will usher you into a waiting vehicle and transfer you to the Venus Premier Hotel around Arusha. Our representative will have a short safari briefing session with you at the lodge and leave you to relax and have dinner.

    On the second day of your tour you have breakfast in the morning and leave for Arusha town where you will do some shopping if you wish and also have a chance to change some money to get local currencies which may be useful at the lodges/tented camps especially for tipping and paying extras. You will then drive through the Masai steppe, and into the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park. Here you will register at the park gate and go for a short game drive before driving to the lodge/tented camp for hot lunch. You will then relax until later in the afternoon when you go to the park again for a sunset game drive. This beautiful national park is popular for its evergreen forests that honour among other animals; elephants, giraffes, zebras, impalas, gazelles and many others. More legendary here are the tree climbing lions and if you are lucky you will spot them as well. At the lake you will have an eye feast of aquatic birds like flamingos, pelicans , little grebes, Egyptian geese etc. Late in the afternoon before dark you return to the lodge for a shower, dinner and overnight. Overnight at the Karatu Tented Lodge. All meals included.

    This morning we woke up rather early and after breakfast we took off for the world famous Serengeti National Park which is also the oldest and biggest of all parks in Tanzania. We will have a brief stop at Olduvai Gorge where Dr Louise and his wife Mary Leakey made tremendous discoveries of human fossils; the Australopithecus Boisei. This discovery led to the theory by scientists that Africa is the cradle of mankind. We enter Serengeti via Naabi Hill gate and on reaching Serengeti we go on with game drives with a picnic lunch served on the way. Serengeti plains are home to a variety of large and small animals alike as well as large numbers of bird species. Among the animals present includes zebras, elephants , baboons, impalas, topis, buffaloes and recently introduced black rhinos. Later in the afternoon you will reach the lodge where you will relax for the evening. Dinner and overnight at Golden Safari Camp for a fancy ‘out of Africa’ feeling.

    Your Tanzania and Zanzibar Honeymoon continues…. and on this day you may decide to do an early morning game drive at day break or relax until after breakfast. After all, you are on holiday. Either way you may decide after breakfast you may go for game drives in the Serengeti plains and depending on the time of the year you may go watching the Great Migration of the wildebeests. You may choose to carry a lunch box with you or do a morning session of game drives then relax at your lodge/tented camp for the afternoon. A sunset game drive is a nice way to wind up this day, or go for a walking safari if residing outside the park. Dinner and overnight at Golden Safari Camp.

    We are going to the world's largest caldera that honours the greatest concentration of animals in a confinement of its 600 metre deep walls, so we get up early this morning. After breakfast we drive to the Ngorongoro Crater. We re-enter the Conservation Area via Naabi Hill Gate and after some registration formalities at the Descent point we go down the breathtaking road to the floor of this world renown ‘world heritage site’ that was declared by the UN body ; UNESCO. Once at the Crater we will do a wonderful game drive with packed lunch served at the hippo poolside picnic site. This is the only place that you are almost certain of spotting the Big Five in one place on one day. Other animals include hyenas, silver backed jackals, elands, hartebeests, wildebeests, gazelles, impalas as well as rare ungulates like the long necked ; gerenuks. Later in the afternoon we ascend up the Crater walls because no lodges/tented camps are allowed in the Crater. Dinner and overnight will be at Karatu Tented Lodge.

    After breakfast at the lodge, start on our way to Arusha where you will take your flight to the island of Zanzibar. On your arrival you will be met by our representative who will welcome you to the island and transfer you to the beach Hotel. Dinner and overnight at the Mahali Zanzibar or Zula Zanzibar on the beaches of Zanzibar.
