Board a scenic bush flight into the heart of the Serengeti National Park. Upon landing, enjoy your first game drive en route to your luxury tented camp. Settle in and take in the breathtaking views before a sunset drive and a fireside dinner under the stars.
Spend a full day tracking wildlife with your private guide. Witness lion prides, elephants, giraffes, and—if you're lucky—the epic Great Migration. Enjoy a champagne bush lunch followed by an evening drive and storytelling by the campfire.
Begin the day with a sunrise hot air balloon safari, floating above the golden plains. Celebrate with a champagne breakfast upon landing. The rest of the day includes leisure at camp, optional spa treatments, and one last evening game drive.

After a relaxing breakfast overlooking the crater, catch your flight to Zanzibar. Arrive and transfer to your luxury beachfront villa. Unwind with cocktails by the ocean and a Swahili-inspired dinner at the resort.
Take a guided tour of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk through narrow alleys rich with history, visit the old slave market, and shop for spices and handmade crafts. Return to your resort for a spa treatment or beachside relaxation.
Spend the day snorkeling around a remote island or enjoying a Blue Safari dhow trip to sandbanks and coral reefs. End your day with a private sunset dhow cruise, complete with drinks and light bites as you sail into the horizon.
