6 Days Luxury Southern Circuit Escape for Honeymooners

Your honeymoon begins with a private departure from Dar es Salaam as you travel towards Mikumi. Enjoy the comfort of your private safari vehicle as the city gradually disappears and Tanzania's rural scenery unfolds. The journey gives you time to settle into the rhythm of your holiday, with opportunities to stop for refreshments and photographs along the way. After reaching Mikumi, check into your luxury accommodation and enjoy some time together before heading out for your first afternoon game drive. As the sun begins to lower, the park takes on a wonderfully atmospheric character. Watch elephants crossing the plains, giraffes moving through the vegetation and zebra grazing in open country. The day concludes with dinner and a peaceful evening at your lodge.

After breakfast, depart Mikumi for the beautiful Udzungwa Mountains. The journey introduces a dramatic change in scenery as you approach the lush forested mountains. Upon arrival, embark on a guided walk towards Sanje Waterfalls. The forest creates a tranquil atmosphere, with birds calling from the canopy, monkeys moving through the trees and streams flowing through the vegetation. Walking together through the rainforest provides a slower and more intimate experience than a traditional game drive. At Sanje Waterfalls, enjoy time surrounded by the dramatic natural scenery before making your way back from the trail. Afterward, settle into your luxury accommodation and enjoy a peaceful evening.
