Travel with meaning ✦ for two
The finest trip of your life deserves better than a package
A honeymoon isn’t a holiday you pick from a brochure. We build it around you: the pace, the places and the moments you dream of together.
Private
A safari just for the two of you
Your own guide and 4x4, your own pace. Nobody else along: just the two of you, the animals and the plains.
Romance
Lodges with peace and privacy
Intimate lodges and tented camps, chosen for two. Far from the busy places, close to nature.
Two worlds
Safari and beach in one trip
First an adventure together among the Big Five, then nothing at all you have to do beside the turquoise sea of Zanzibar.
Small things
Moments that stay with you
Wherever we can, we arrange something extra for you, without you having to ask.
Room upgrade · Private dinner · Sundowner
The perfect mix
Adventure together first, then unwind together
A honeymoon can be both: the adventure of your life and having absolutely nothing to do. So we combine the thrill of safari with the calm of Zanzibar, at the rhythm that suits you.
✦
The safari: private game drives through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and a sundowner above the savannah.
✦
The beach: white sand, snorkelling in clear water and nothing you have to do together on Zanzibar.
✦
The transition: a short flight takes you straight from the plains to the sea.
