12-DAY SAFARI & BEACH HONEYMOON HOLIDAY

You will be picked up from the airport by a Legacy Destinations representative whom will drive to your accommodation in Arusha. Here you will overnight, relax, and prepare in anticipation of the adventures to come.

In the morning, your personal safari guide will pick you up at the hotel and you'll set out for Tarangire National Park. As we zip along, we'll pass many Maasais in their colourful dresses walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle, and driving donkey carts. From the open roof of our state of the art safari jeep, we'll experience the seasonal swamps, savanna and life-giving Tarangire River. Explore Tarangire's abundance of wildlife, from zebras to wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name a few. At Tarangire there is a high chance of getting a glimpse of lions stalking prey or leopards watching, relaxing in the trees above.
Later on you will drive to one of our carefully selected partner lodges for dinner, a pool at hand to soothe you, and a most comfortable room.

After breakfast, we will continue with your epic honeymoon safari to Lake Manyara National Park. This is a relatively small but diverse park. It's 120km west of Arusha and is named after the shallow salt lake which covers seventy per cent of the park's surface area. Flooding and drying with the seasons, the soda lake is home to thousands of flamingos as well as over 500 other bird species. On our exploration of the park, we will see monkeys, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephants and with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. The park is known for its diverse landscapes; not only open grassy plains but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab dotted cliffs. After another memorable game drive, we will head to our accommodation, with our adventure filled with images of the African wilds to last a lifetime.

After breakfast, you will continue towards the Serengeti National Park. Along the way, we'll pass through the mist-shrouded rainforests of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area where you might see baboons or even leopards and elephants in the dense undergrowth. Passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you will be able to see the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater before travelling onwards to the Serengeti National Park, which you will reach by midday. The Serengeti National Park is the largest park in Tanzania with diverse landscapes and habitats, such as grassy plains, swamps, lakes, savannah, and mountains. After an extensive game drive, you will drive to your accommodation where you will enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

This entire day is set aside for game drives in Serengeti. The Serengeti hosts an abundance of wildlife such as impala, buffalo, crocodile, and hippo, and its famous for the great migrating herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest. This animals movement is influenced by rainfall patterns and varies year to year. In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the north. Apart from the migrating herds, we may have the opportunity to see the resident predators, leopards, cheetahs, and lions, fulfilling their role in the circle of life.
After an unforgettable day, we will return to your accommodation for relaxation, dinner and our overnight sleep on the endless plain.

After breakfast, you will head for Ngorongoro crater. You might be able to spot the “Big Five”—lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard along the way to Ngorongoro. This UNESCO World Heritage Site formed millions of years ago is 600m deep and covers roughly around 260sq km. Due to its dense animal population of approximately 25 000, the crater offers the best game viewing of all the parks in Tanzania. You will arrive at the crater rim before lunch. You will descend into the crater and very quickly, you will be able to see wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, elephants, and some of the more than 500 bird species in the area. With a little bit of luck, you might catch a glimpse of the endangered black rhino through the grass.
After lunch and a full afternoon inside the crater, you will head to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

You will be picked up from your lodge and drive straight to the airport in time to go to Zanzibar. You will spend the first night in Stone Town for a day of relaxation with amazing views of the old city. There is a possibility of arranging extra activities such as a day tour in Stone Town including Old Town guided tour, Spice tour, and Prison Island tour. A tour to Jozani Forest can also be organized. All tours and excursions can be arranged at the hotel.

Located in the northern part of the island, Nungwi is a lively village surrounded by some of Zanzibar's most beautiful beaches. At the time of your choice, you will transfer to this location, approximately 50km from Stone Town. Once a sleepy fishing village, it is now a popular island destination full of life. It is also one of the only places from where you can see both the sunrise and sunset over the ocean. You can take some rest and enjoy this paradise made of beautiful beaches of white sand and turquoise water of the Indian Ocean. You will spend 4 nights at this incredible place.
