Leaving London in the evening, by lunchtime the next day you will be sitting down to a freshly prepared delicacy overlooking a peaceful sandy beach by the INDIAN OCEAN. The atmosphere at Ras Kutani is one of pure relaxation – a perfect start for a honeymoon or any romantic holiday!

We will have booked you into one of their four spacious Upepo Suites, each set up on the hillside for seclusion with sweeping views, private plunge pool and verandah. Local materials have been used in the construction of the lodge and a soaring thatched roof gives it a traditional Swahili style but contemporary touches make these suites very special.

Should you be tempted to stir, snorkelling, kayaking, horse riding, walks in the indigenous coastal forest and a variety of wind water sports can all be enjoyed.

With your batteries recharged and the African bush calling, it is time to fly into the SELOUS, Africa's largest game reserve, to an exclusive camp called Beho Beho. You will explore the area by open safari vehicle, on foot and in a boat and even have the chance to spend a romantic night in their private Bush Nights camp with supper under the stars and a tented gazebo sumptuously decorated in Persian ‘1001 Nights’ style.

Back at Beho Beho, the individual stone and thatched cottages are superb and the sitting and dining room, bar and the pool have the atmosphere of a private house, designed to make you feel ‘at home’. Fantastic food, a wonderful setting and experienced guides who will tailor your stay to ensure you use your time exactly as you might wish all combine to make this one of the country’s top luxury safari experiences.

You will now move on to an idyllic privately owned island in northern Mozambique's QUIRIMBAS ARCHIPELAGO where your home for the next few days will be a delightful palm-thatched villa at Quilálea with wonderful sea views. The island has a deep channel on the landward side and some of the best from-the-shore snorkelling at all times of the tide that we have found.

Natural rock walls, makuti thatch, large windows that allow the breeze to blow through and colonial ceiling fans will keep you gently cool but the rooms are air-conditioned as well. The furniture has been crafted from indigenous teak and mahogany by local carpenters and a king-size bed, draped in netting, completes the romantic African/Arabian luxury.

Being in a Marine Sanctuary, scuba diving in this area is superb and sport fishing and deep-sea angling are also allowed outside the protected zone.

A gourmet chef prepares delicious meals with Portuguese and Goan influences which, for a romantic last night on the island, can be served right on the water’s edge.

Your journey home includes a night at a delightful boutique hotel, Oyster Bay, overlooking the ocean in the northern suburb of DAR ES SALAAM and very convenient for your daytime flight back to London.

and what about?
	On the beautiful east coast of ZANZIBAR, the tiny private resort of ShortPalms with just four bungalows, would make a fine alternative to travelling down to Quilálea. The dining and living rooms are in the main house, a typical Zanzibar lodge with wonderfully carved ornaments, doors and furniture – a tranquil and spacious oasis to dine, relax and celebrate.
