What You Need to Know: The 6-day honeymoon safari costs from US$3,215 per person (US$6,430 for the two of you) at mid-range lodges, or US$4,950 per person at luxury lodges such as Gibbs' Farm, Four Seasons Serengeti and Ngorongoro Serena, or similar. It includes airport transfers, a night in Arusha, a private Land Cruiser with your own Mweka-trained driver-guide, nights in Karatu, the central Serengeti (2) and on the crater rim, and all park fees and the crater fee.
Who Is the 6-Day Honeymoon Safari For?
It suits couples who want a safari honeymoon without a beach stay, or who are flying on to the Seychelles, Mauritius or another coast after Tanzania. Every night after Arusha is somewhere special for two: a farm lodge in the green Ngorongoro highlands, a camp or lodge in the heart of the Serengeti and a room above the crater. You never share the vehicle, so the pace, the stops and the sundowners are yours.
