Trip Summary and Itinerary

Every honeymoon is different. At Game Ranger Tours, our job is to listen to what your dream Africa  honeymoon looks like and then create a tailor-made itinerary to match your dreams, budget, and appetite for luxury and adventure. 

The trip below is one example of what is possible in Africa, but get in touch with our team, and we’ll help you understand if it’s right for you

Trip Summary:

  • Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met at the airport and assisted through immigration and baggage collection as part of our VIP Meet & Greet service. You will then transfer to your accommodation in Arusha, some of our favourites here are Lake Duluti Lodge, Katambuga House, Gran Melia Arusha, or Arusha Coffee Lodge. Spend the evening at leisure, rest up after your international flight and get prepared for the adventure to come. 
  • The next morning, jump into a light aircraft and fly deep into the Serengeti National Park. Where you stay here will depend on the time of year you are visiting, the level of luxury you are looking for, and your budget. 
  • Spend the next 3 nights at a beautiful camp or lodge in the Serengeti, spending your days out on safari, returning for sundowners and dinner overlooking the vast savannah. This is the safari of your imagination. 
  • After a few days on safari, jump back into a light aircraft and head southeast to the beautiful Zanzibar archipelago. Spend the next 3 nights relaxing on the stunning beaches. There are many accommodation options in Zanzibar, and different regions have different characteristics. We can help you understand which option is right for you.

Itinerary 

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, we will meet you at the airport and help you through immigration and baggage claim as part of our VIP Meet and Greet service. Depending on your flight arrival time, you can either head straight to the Serengeti on this day, or (more commonly) have an overnight in Arusha before heading to the Serengeti the next day. Some of our favourites as a base in Arusha after your international flight are Lake Duluti Lodge and Katambuga House. 

 

 

Next, board a light aircraft and fly deep into the Serengeti National Park. There are stunning views on this flight. You'll touch down at Kogatende Airstrip where a guide will collect you for a game drive en route to Sayari, in the northern Serengeti region. Once at Sayari, lunch will be served with an opportunity to relax and settle in. In the afternoon, you have the option of either relaxing in camp or heading out for a game drive in an open safari vehicle. Arriving back in camp at sunset, there’s a chance to freshen up before enjoying your first Sayari dinner experience followed by the opportunity to enjoy a drink around a proper safari campfire.

 

Depending on your preference, there are a couple of options with regard to how your day is structured. One option is to break camp early and head out with a picnic breakfast on a morning game drive, returning to camp in time for lunch. In the afternoon you can do another game drive or opt to relax by the pool with a good book. Alternatively, you can eat breakfast in camp and head out on your game drive with a picnic lunch, returning in the mid-afternoon. Private vehicle hire is an optional extra which further increases the flexibility afforded to you but must be booked in advance.

You’ll spend three days with us at Sayari before hopping on a plane and making your way to the tropical paradise that is Zanzibar for the remainder of your honeymoon.

Overnight: Sayari Camp

After three days spent exploring the Serengeti’s plains, Matemwe Retreat is the ideal location to end your honeymoon. After flying in from the Serengeti, you’ll be collected at the airport for a 90-minute drive through the city and across the island to Matemwe. Here, you have your own rooftop deck and plunge pool with panoramic views of Zanzibar’s coastline. You’ll also be treated to a private butler and chef, so there’s really no need to leave your villa. However, if you do feel like venturing out, there’s plenty to do that will keep you busy. You will quickly ease into the laid-back rhythm of island life, and the peaceful location and relaxed atmosphere make it the perfect place to unwind.

Fresh seafood, refreshing cocktails and relaxing massages come standard at Matemwe, but there really is no schedule while you stay with us. After breakfast, you can take a stroll down the beach, head out on a snorkelling excursion or take part in one of the many activities available on the island. A romantic lunch on your private sandbank, “Infinity Island” is a must for couples looking to do something different. Matemwe is just a 60-minute drive from Stone Town, allowing for easy day trips and excursions to all corners of the island. Your three days spent with us at Matemwe can be as busy or as relaxed as you please.

Overnight: Matemwe Retreat

Today you will be driven back to Zanzibar Airport, a journey of approximately 90 minutes, where you will check-in for your international flight home.

My experience with Roger as a tourist guide in Uganda Awsome experience! We traveled around Uganda and saw animals, climbed Mt.Elgon and visited a tribe. Our guide was very genuine and funny. The only thing I would have liked more is a breifing of the day. Other than that I totally recommend Roger as a Tourist Guide!!

Murchison falls - a 3 day customized safari tour The Game Ranger Tours team took us to a three day safari to the Murchison falls - the national park in the north-western Uganda. The owner of the travel agency - Roger - prepared a customized programme for us. We left Kampala at about 1 pm and drove for about six hours to the park to catch the last ferry to the other side of Nile at 7pm. After crossing the river, we were accommodated in a beautiful lodge called Paraa Safari. Next morning we started early to safari game drive across the savannah grassland. Our tour guide and driver - Juuko knew every road in the park. He took us to places where we saw giraffes, buffaloes, hartebeests, antelopes, kobs, elephants and many more wild animals and birds. The drive was a fantastic experience we'll never forget. In the afternoon we got back to the lodge to have lunch and then at about 3 pm took a boat to the falls - so beautiful nature sight! On the third day, before heading back to Kampala Roger and Juuko took us to the top of the falls where we could actually see how powerfull and strong the waterfall is! On our way to Kampala we visited the Ziwa Rhino sanctuary too and were lucky to see a baby rhino and its parents. After the three full days of adventure, we safely returned to the capital. Thank you so much, Roger and Juuko, for taking care of us and for showing us how beautiful Uganda is. Hope to see you again!

My woderful stay in Entebbe and Uganda During my stay in Entebbe, I eas able to fufil my childhood dreams, namely to touch the waters of Victoria Lake and, then, to travel to the soirces of the Nile. My best tour guide was, of course, Ras. His name has got a powerful meaning in Ethiopian, i.e. Prince. He is a genuine prince by heart, character and manner. To me, Entebbe is the city of God. Uganda and Tanzania are the countries to which I would always come back. If Africa has its heart, then the heart's two chambers are Tanzania and Uganda. To all white people like me, I wpuld like to say that the cradle of the mankind is to be found in Africa. My skin is white, but my heart is black. And I ma proud of it.
