12-Day Romantic Escape - All Inclusive Honeymoon Budget Safari

You will begin your day with breakfast before being picked up from the hotel by a Golden Trips Tanzania Safari guide. From there, you’ll embark on a drive to Tarangire National Park for a full-day game drive. Tarangire is one of Africa’s hidden treasures, offering an unforgettable experience for those who appreciate wilderness and solitude. The park takes its name from the Tarangire River, which serves as the only water source for wildlife during the dry season. The park’s landscape is uniquely diverse, unlike any other on the northern safari circuit. It features iconic ancient baobab trees, regarded by the Maasai as the first tree of creation, alongside giant termite mounds scattered across the terrain. During the dry season, the relentless sun bakes the earth into a dusty red hue, while the wet season transforms the park with lush greenery and tall grasses. In the evening, you’ll head to your accommodation to unwind, enjoy dinner, and spend the night.

After breakfast, your driver-guide will pick you up and take you to Lake Manyara for a full-day game drive. Although Lake Manyara has become more of a forest park in recent years, it has retained its charm and continues to offer visitors a truly unique experience. While it has the smallest number of mammals among the parks in the Northern Circuit, it compensates with its remarkable wilderness, featuring scenic landscapes such as the Rift Valley, dense woodlands, and picturesque mountainsides. Lake Manyara serves as an excellent starting point for any adventure. Located in the Northern Circuit of Tanzania, it is just 130 kilometers from Arusha, a drive of approximately two hours. As the afternoon draws to a close, you will head to your accommodation for some relaxation, followed by dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, a Golden Trips Tanzania Safaris driver-guide will pick you up and drive you to the iconic Serengeti National Park. Spanning nearly 15,000 square kilometers, the Serengeti is one of the largest and most remarkable game parks in the world, making it a must-visit destination for every traveler. Known as "the endless plains" by the nomadic Maasai, the Serengeti will leave you in awe with its incredible abundance and diversity of wildlife. The park is home to the Big Five—lion, leopard, bush elephant, African buffalo, and black rhino—and is renowned for its annual migration, where millions of wildebeests and zebras traverse the plains. Its breathtaking landscapes, from vast grasslands to rocky outcrops, further enhance the experience. After a thrilling day of wildlife viewing, you will head to your lodge, situated inside the park, offering stunning views. Here, you’ll relax, enjoy dinner, and spend the night immersed in the Serengeti's beauty.

The sounds of Africa gently wake you from a restful night, and you will freshen up before heading to the main area for breakfast. Afterward, your driver-guide will take you on a full-day game drive in the Serengeti. For wildlife enthusiasts, the Serengeti is a paradise. Here, you’ll encounter the real-life inspirations for Disney's The Lion King," with around 3,000 lions roaming the vast ecosystem. These majestic creatures are relatively easy to spot, not only due to their numbers but also because they spend up to 20 hours a day lounging under the trees. In addition to lions, the Serengeti is home to bush elephants, Cape buffaloes, and a rich array of bird species, including the Kori bustard and Fischer’s lovebird. As the day winds down, you’ll return to your lodge, which is nestled within the park and offers spectacular views. Here, you can unwind, enjoy a delicious dinner, and spend the night surrounded by the magic of the Serengeti.

After breakfast, your driver-guide will pick you up for another exciting day of exploration in the world-famous Serengeti. Today, you will venture deeper into the park, immersing yourself in its stunning landscapes and witnessing more of its incredible wildlife on your final Serengeti game drive. In the evening, you will leave the Serengeti and head to your lodge or camp in Karatu. Here, you can relax, enjoy a delightful dinner, and rest in preparation for tomorrow’s adventure. The wonder of the Ngorongoro Crater awaits you, promising another unforgettable experience.

Today, you will visit the Ngorongoro Crater, often called the 8th Wonder of the World, for a full-day game drive. This stunning volcanic caldera, known as “Africa’s Garden of Eden,” is home to over 25,000 large mammals, including lions, black rhinos, zebras, and hyenas. After an unforgettable day, you will ascend from the crater and transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your 8:00 PM flight to Zanzibar. Upon arrival, a driver will take you to your Stone Town hotel for an overnight stay.

After breakfast, a Golden Trips Tanzania Safaris representative will pick you up for a historical city tour of Zanzibar. You’ll explore key sites in this ancient Arabic city, starting with the former slave market site and continuing to the bustling fish market, where your guide will point out various species. Next, you'll visit the house of the infamous slave trader Ahmed bin Tipu Tipu and the 300-year-old Arab Fort, built by Omani Arabs. As the afternoon winds down, you’ll be transferred to your beach hotel for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.

A full day at the beach in Zanzibar offers the perfect opportunity to unwind and soak up the island's natural beauty. You'll spend your days lounging on pristine white-sand beaches, with the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean gently lapping at the shore. You'll enjoy the serene atmosphere as you relax under the shade of a palm tree or indulge in water activities such as snorkeling, swimming, or a dhow cruise. The vibrant marine life and coral reefs invite exploration, while the warm, tropical climate makes for an ideal escape. As the day winds down, you'll watch a breathtaking sunset over the ocean, making it a truly unforgettable experience.

After breakfast at your hotel, you can choose to relax by the swimming pool or enjoy the serene ocean view. Whether you prefer unwinding by the poolside or soaking in the peaceful surroundings, it’s the perfect time to rejuvenate. In the evening, dinner will be served in the dining area, and afterward, you can either return to your room for the night or continue to relax by the pool until late. The choice is yours.

You'll spend another relaxing day on the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar, where you can fully immerse yourself in the island’s laid-back atmosphere. You'll start your day with a leisurely breakfast by the ocean, followed by a morning of sunbathing or taking a refreshing swim in the warm, crystal-clear waters. For those seeking adventure, try water sports like kite surfing, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding. In the afternoon, you'll explore the vibrant coral reefs with a snorkeling trip or simply stroll along the beach, collecting seashells and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. As the evening approaches, you'll treat yourself to a delicious seafood dinner at a beachside restaurant while watching the sky change colors during a stunning sunset.

After breakfast, you will have some free time to relax or enjoy the morning at your leisure, depending on your flight schedule. A Golden Trips Tanzania Safaris representative will then pick you up from your hotel and escort you to Zanzibar Airport. Here, you’ll check in for your flight and bid farewell to the beautiful island. The representative will ensure a smooth transfer, helping with any last-minute details before you embark on your journey back home.
