The Young Safari Guide

Serengeti Migration Safari Honeymoon

There are so many possibilities in Tanzania for that really special honeymoon but a safari in an award-winning Bush Rover Suite is the ultimate! Spend your honeymoon exploring the famous parks of Tanzania’s north, culminating in your Bush Rover experience in the heart of Serengeti’s famous wildebeest migration. The Bush Rover Migration camp has just six Land Rover suites that each open up as graceful as a swallow-tail into unique and beautiful safari accommodation complete with solar lighting, hot water and even a bath tub in the boot! These suites get to parts others cannot reach and pride themselves on getting to the heart of the great wildebeest migration but away from the crowds. Immerse yourself in the very best of Tanzania’s wildlife from the balcony of your Bush Rover suite, champagne in hand. It’s hard to imagine any safari accommodation that gets any closer to Tanzania’s wildlife without compromising on comfort. If you want a romantic getaway that’s adventurous but never compromising on comfort, this is the honeymoon for you. You could add on romantic beach nights in Zanzibar to this safari option.

Tour Itinerary

Arrival into Arusha

DAY
01

Arrive at Kilimanjaro airport, meet your car and driver and transfer to Katambuga hotel in Arusha.

into the Serengeti

DAY
02

Take a morning flight from Arusha to Serengeti national park. The next five days will be focused on, arguably, the greatest wildlife show on earth. It takes place from the multi award-winning Bush Rover Camp, situated at fantastic locations, where the herds are most likely to be found. The three seasons within the migration year all bring their own magic, whether crossing the Grumeti river in the West, the Mara river in the North or calving in the South. O/n Bush Rover Camp.

Follow The Migration

DAY
03

The primary focus for this breath-taking migration tour is, of course, to follow the adrenalin fuelled herds and their unwanted predator escorts. Whichever time of year you are experiencing the tour, you can expect tens of thousands of wildebeest and zebra to be close at hand. The evenings offer a magical night sky and drinks by the camp fire before relaxing in the beautiful mess tent for delicious dining prepared by your private chefs. O/n Bush Rover Camp.

Big Cats of Serengeti

DAY
04

As the great herds gather in each area, the resident predators are joined by increasing numbers of opportunists to take advantage of the bounty. Lion and hyena numbers are prolific at all sites. Leopards, whilst secretive and solitary are regularly spotted and cheetah, whilst present at all sites, are a speciality in the South, during the calving season. O/n Bush Rover Camp.

Wildebeest-fest

DAY
05

Each season offers a different experience. December to March, whilst in the South, the herds are calving and hundreds of thousands of young are born. July to October the animals congregate in the North, regularly crossing the Mara river in Tanzania. When the river is high, these crossings become a spectacular and terrifying undertaking with many animals drowning. In the Western Corridor, in June and early July, lines of wildebeest can be seen heading from South to North, crossing the Grumeti river on the way.

Hunting Crocodiles

DAY
06

All the water courses of the Serengeti contain large numbers of hippos and crocs; some of the latter are huge and spend most of the year hidden in caves and crevices by the river side. When the Migration crosses each of the main rivers, the Mbalangeti, the Grumeti and the Mara (in particular), these giants slide into the water for a short season of plenty. Many wildebeest are attacked by crocodiles when they cross but many more are drowned in the stampede and the crocs simply drag the carcasses to the water’s edge to feed.

under mount meru

DAY
07

This morning, fly back to Arusha and meet your guide who will transfer you to the Arusha coffee lodge in the foothills of Mount Meru. Later, enjoy a guided walk around the plantation to see how the coffee is grown, harvested, dried, and produced into the aromatic coffee that we drink.

head onwards

DAY
08

Today marks the end of your safari when you’ll be transferred to the airport for your onward journey.
