Honeymoon
Overview
Arusha · Tarangire · Ngorongoro · Central Serengeti · Northern Serengeti
Every day here is private — your own guide and your own vehicle — so the order holds but the hours are yours to move.
Your Polecat Safaris guide meets you at Kilimanjaro International Airport and drives you to Hamerkop House by Lemala.
Once you have settled in there is a guided wildlife walk, on the house — an easy first look at the country before the safari proper begins.
Your Stay
Hamerkop House by Lemala
After breakfast you drive to Tarangire, the park of the giant baobabs and the biggest elephant herds in the north.
The day is spent exploring it, and the evening is a quiet one at Elephant Springs.
Your Stay
Elephant Springs by Karibu Camps
On to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and down onto the crater floor for a day looking for the Big Five.
Afterwards you climb back to the rim and Lion’s Paw Camp, which looks straight out over the crater.
Your Stay
Lion's Paw Camp
You carry on through the conservation area and out onto the Serengeti plains, game-driving on the way.
The night is in the honeymoon tent at Serengeti Luxury Retreat, with nothing around it but the bush.
After breakfast you game-drive north through the Serengeti, on the line the migration takes towards the Mara River.
The afternoon goes on the herds and the predators following them, and you finish at River Camp.
Your Stay

Optional today
A full day in the northern Serengeti, which is one of the best places in Africa to see the crossings.
Your guide follows the herds, and when they go, thousands of wildebeest and zebra take to water with crocodile in it. It is the reason to come this far north.
The last night in the Serengeti is at Kuria Hills Lodge.
Your Stay
Kuria Hills Lodge
One more morning game drive in the north, for a last look at the migration.
Then the short transfer to the airstrip and the scheduled flight back to Arusha, in time for your onward international flight.
Everything below is settled before you travel. What isn’t covered is listed just as plainly, so nothing on this trip arrives as a surprise.
