Overview

This is the longer, more indulgent version of the classic Kenya and Tanzania honeymoon. The extra day goes to Amboseli, where elephants walk through green swamps beneath the snows of Kilimanjaro, before you move on to the Masai Mara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.

You stay in some of the finest lodges and camps in the region, with private dinners, a sunrise balloon flight and plenty of unscheduled time together.

Highlights

  • Amboseli elephants with Kilimanjaro behind them
  • Sunrise balloon flight over the Masai Mara with a chef-prepared breakfast
  • Two full days in the Serengeti with picnics and sundowners
  • Stay on the Ngorongoro Crater rim and descend to the crater floor
  • A final-night dinner under the stars with traditional song and dance
