Day 2: Tarangire National Park
Today you continue your safari in the Serengeti National Park. Its stunning scenery can be seen in some of the most impressive nature documentaries. The endless plains and abundance of wildlife are unmatched. The annual wildebeest migration with over a million wildebeest is probably the highest point in the Serengeti. It is a real sight and impressive to see millions of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles rumbling across the endless plains of the Serengeti. With your private guide, you’ll search for herds across the plains. Besides migratory animals, you will also be able to see many other animals, such as lions, cheetahs, leopards and many others. Expect to be impressed by the natural beauty of Africa’s most famous park.
If you like to observe wildlife from another angle, we recommend taking a hot air balloon safari. It is an amazing experience to drift silently over the plains with herds of wildlife.

Day 3-4: Serengeti National Park
The word Serengeti means endless plains in the language of the Maasai, this is exactly what you will see in the days to come; Miles and miles of African savannah!
And trust us: this may be the most impressive landscape you’ve ever seen. Of course, the Serengeti National Park is home to a huge variety of wildlife, which is why many nature documentaries have been filmed here.Immerse yourself in this unique landscape, while wildebeest and zebras pass you in their great migration. Spot lions on groups of rocks called kopjes, leopards in isolated trees, or cheetahs hunting a calf between wildebeests. Pass by giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, gazelles and a vervet cat or wild dog if you’re lucky.
The ultimate in romance that you can experience in a hot air balloon over these plains (which can even be shaped like a heart!).
Spend a pleasant night in a luxury safari tent, with a staff that knows how to give the newlyweds a little extra during dinner for example. Snuggle up at night listening to the distant roar of a lion or the bellow of the flocks of the Great Migration. This is the real safari experience! Next, you’ll drive through the Ngorongoro Highlands on your way to or from the Serengeti, an impressive landscape where you might encounter groups of giraffes or some members of the resident Maasai tribes.
