10-Day Romantic Couple Anniversary Safari
A journey written for two. Crater mornings, Serengeti nights under candlelight and the stars, then the warm Indian Ocean — paced slowly, with the quiet celebrations placed where they matter most.
Ngorongoro Crater · Serengeti National Park · Zanzibar
Day by day
Ten days, written for two.
Use this as a shape. Every day here can be re-paced, upgraded or swapped — the celebrations are placed where they mean the most to you.

Day 2
Arusha to Ngorongoro Crater

Good to know
Questions about this safari.
When is the best time for this route?
June to October brings dry safari days and calm, sunny weather on Zanzibar. December to February is also warm and lovely. We can place your anniversary celebrations on the dates that matter to you.
What vehicle will we use?
A private 4x4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof, a fridge and charging ports, driven by your own professional guide. The vehicle is yours for the whole safari, so you can stop for as long as you like.
Can we change the days or the beach time?
Yes. Every day can be re-paced, upgraded or swapped, and the Zanzibar part can be made shorter or longer. Tell us your dates and we will redraw the route for you.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes. Because every safari is private, we can shorten drives, add rest time and choose family rooms. See our child-friendly safari page for more ideas.
How do we book this safari?
Send us your dates and group through Plan my safari or WhatsApp. We reply within one working day with a drawn route and honest pricing, and nothing is confirmed until the plan reads like your trip.
