7 Days Tanzania and Zanzibar Private Midrange Honeymoon Safari

Our airport representative welcomes you at Kilimanjaro International Airport and assists with your bags. We transfer you to Arusha, covering approximately 50–60 kilometres (31–37 miles) in 1–1.5 hours. The paved road passes farmland and small towns, with mountain views possible in clear weather. At your midrange hotel, we help with check-in and explain the following morning’s departure. We leave the remaining time free for you to settle into your private room and rest after the flight. No wildlife activity is scheduled on arrival day.

We collect you around 6:30 a.m. for the drive to Tarangire National Park. The entrance is approximately 120 kilometres (75 miles) from Arusha, with a driving time of 2–2.5 hours. After completing the entry formalities, our guide opens the vehicle’s viewing roof and begins the game drive.

We explore woodland and river areas where elephants, giraffes and zebras are often seen. With the vehicle reserved for you, our guide can spend longer at sightings that interest you. We also search suitable areas for lions, although wildlife sightings depend on the animals’ movements.

We arrange a packed lunch stop before continuing through another part of the park. In the afternoon, we leave for your lodge near Manyara, approximately 70–100 kilometres (43–62 miles) away, allowing 1.5–2 hours for the transfer. Our team helps you settle in before dinner.

We depart early and travel through Karatu towards the Ngorongoro highlands. Allow approximately 90–110 kilometres (56–68 miles) and 2–3 hours to reach the descent area, including gate formalities. The route climbs through farmland and wooded hills before reaching the crater rim.

Our guide then takes you down to the crater floor for an extended game drive. We look for lions, buffaloes, zebras and wildebeest across the grasslands, with stops near wet areas where hippos gather. Black rhinos are sometimes visible at a distance, so our guide helps you scan the open ground carefully.

We pause for a packed lunch at an approved picnic site, then continue exploring before returning up the crater wall. The overnight stop is in the Ngorongoro area to support the following day’s journey west.

After breakfast, we leave around 7:00 a.m. and travel towards Serengeti through the conservation area. The route to Central Serengeti covers approximately 140–180 kilometres (87–112 miles), depending on your lodge. We allow around 4–5 hours for travel and entrance stops, with additional time for wildlife viewing.

The road changes from highland tracks to open plains, with rough and dusty sections along the way. Our guide adjusts the speed to the conditions and stops when animals are visible near the route.

After the entrance formalities and a packed lunch, we continue into the Seronera area. We search the grasslands and river corridors for lions, elephants and giraffes, while checking suitable trees for resting leopards. This is a full safari travel day, with the main Central Serengeti game drive taking place in the afternoon.

We reach your tented camp before evening and help with check-in. Your private tent has a proper bed and an attached bathroom, with hot-water and power arrangements depending on the selected camp.

We plan an early game drive around the confirmed flight time. Our guide explores nearby grasslands for lions, hyenas and other animals that may be active before the temperature rises. The morning route and airstrip transfer may cover approximately 20–60 kilometres (12–37 miles), with around 1–3 hours available for driving and wildlife stops.

We assist with your bags at the airstrip and arrange the flight to Zanzibar. The scheduled service may carry other passengers and make intermediate stops; your safari vehicle and island transfers remain private. The flight ticket confirms the departure time, journey duration and luggage allowance.

Our Zanzibar representative meets you at the airport and transfers you to a midrange hotel in the Stone Town area. This drive covers approximately 8–15 kilometres (5–9 miles) and takes around 20–40 minutes. We keep the evening free, while this first island overnight makes the next morning’s transfer to Fumba shorter.

We collect you after breakfast and drive to Fumba for your private Safari Blue excursion. The transfer covers approximately 25–30 kilometres (16–19 miles) and normally takes 40–60 minutes. Before boarding, the crew explains the day’s route and helps you prepare your snorkelling equipment.

We arrange time for guided snorkelling, swimming and a sandbank stop when the tide permits. The crew selects suitable locations according to sea conditions, with reef fish as the main wildlife attraction. Lunch and shaded breaks are included between activities, so the day is not spent continuously in the water.

After returning to Fumba, we transfer you directly to Nungwi with your bags. The road journey covers approximately 80–95 kilometres (50–59 miles) and takes around 2–2.5 hours. Our team checks you into your beach hotel, where the rest of the evening is free.

We arrange a morning transfer from Nungwi towards the Matemwe boat departure area. Allow approximately 25–35 kilometres (16–22 miles) each way and 45–60 minutes of driving. Our crew then takes you by private boat to permitted snorkelling sites around Mnemba, with the crossing time depending on the departure point and conditions.

Our guide helps you adjust your masks before entering the water. We explore coral areas where small reef fish gather, keeping the pace comfortable and allowing breaks on the boat. This trip visits the surrounding waters and does not include landing on Mnemba’s private island.

After the excursion, we return you to Nungwi and arrange lunch around the return time. The afternoon is left open for the beach or time at your hotel.

We leave the morning and early afternoon free for time together at Nungwi Beach. Our team remains available for local arrangements, with any short hotel-to-boarding transfer usually covering 0–10 kilometres (0–6 miles) and taking up to 30 minutes. No wildlife excursion is scheduled today.

Later, we arrange a private dhow cruise along the northern coast. The cruise usually lasts 1.5–2 hours, with departure timed around sunset and adjusted for sea conditions. After returning to shore, we organise your transfer back to the hotel.
