Journey

Honeymoon Inspo: Wild Beauty and Tropical Bliss

When one thinks about a honeymoon, they imagine unwinding and relaxation after the whirlwind of wedding planning and celebrations. They dream of something exotic, perhaps even adventurous. They think about the symbolic beginning of a new chapter in their shared life. In the spirit of the connection that a honeymoon evokes, we have crafted an itinerary built upon the very idea of a shared, unique experience: exotic, relaxing, and adventurous all at once.

Your journey begins in one of the most spectacular ecosystems on Earth—Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. This iconic destination offers moving wildlife encounters in a setting that remains largely untouched by human activity. But that's not all: you will admire the kopje-dotted savannah from a hot air balloon, enjoy a champagne breakfast in the bush, marvel at fiery sunsets over the plains, and sleep under a blanket of unparalleled African stars.

And before you know it, the warm turquoise waters of a tropical beach—whether in Zanzibar or perhaps the Maldives—will become your home for a few days of dolce far niente.

Highlights

  • Private Game Drives in the Serengeti
    Spot Africa’s Big Five on exclusive game drives across the iconic plains.
  • Hot Air Balloon Safari Over the Serengeti
    Float above the Serengeti’s savannah at sunrise and celebrate with a champagne breakfast in the bush.
  • Sundowners and Starry Nights 
    Toast to love with sundowners at sunset and sleep under Africa’s dazzling night sky
  • Snorkeling or Diving With Marine Life
    Explore coral reefs  of colorful fishes, turtles, and manta rays.
  • Private Sandbank Picnic and Dolphin Cruise
    Enjoy a secluded picnic on a sandbank, as dolphins play at sunset.
