Begin your married life with a 5-day private mid-range safari made for two, blending romance with the thrill of the wild. Travel through three of northern Tanzania’s most celebrated destinations, starting in Tarangire National Park, known for its giant baobab trees and large herds of elephants. Continue to the Serengeti, where endless golden plains, big cats, and the drama of the great herds unfold beneath huge open skies. Then descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a spectacular volcanic caldera that shelters one of Africa’s densest concentrations of wildlife.
Traveling privately means your own vehicle, your own guide, and the freedom to set a pace that suits you, whether that means lingering over a sighting or enjoying an unhurried morning. Each evening you return to a charming lodge, where magical sunsets, quiet moments, and comfortable surroundings help turn the trip into memories you’ll treasure together for years.
Life on Safari
After breakfast, we will pick you up from your hotel and drive to Tarangire National Park, named after the Tarangire River. The park has dense vegetation, including elephant grass and acacia woodlands. It’s famous for its elephant families and other wildlife like giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeest. You might also spot lions, leopards, and various bird species. After lunch and a game drive, you’ll head to the lodge for dinner and spend the night there.

You arrive in the Serengeti for an afternoon game drive until late. Lunch is taken at one of the picnic sites, most likely at the Naabi Hill Gate, where you can stretch your legs.
You visit the famous Maasai bomas to get close to the Maasai community. Participate in traditional Maasai dance and walk in the Maasai village. Their culture is well known for hunting lions, and to be considered a warrior, they drink raw cow blood (though these traditions are things of the past, except for drinking blood). You can also do some souvenir shopping at the local Maasai market.

"Our guide Emmanuel was incredible — he spotted a leopard and two lion cubs that three other vehicles completely missed. The most magical experience of our lives."
"The private setup meant we could spend 45 minutes with a cheetah and cubs without feeling rushed. The lodges were far beyond what we expected."
"As first-time safari travelers, we were nervous. From the moment we arrived, Serengeti African Tours took care of everything. The Ngorongoro Crater literally took our breath away."
"Booked through SafariBookings and couldn't be happier. Every detail was handled perfectly. Guide Abouh is extraordinary — his knowledge of wildlife is encyclopaedic."
