Tanzania
is becoming an increasingly popular destination for world's top celebrities
following the arrival in the country of a new couple Justin Timberlake and
Jessica Biel for honeymoon.
The
newlyweds opted to honeymoon among Tanzanian wildlife as the loved-up pair was
seen arriving at the Kilimanjaro International airport two days after their
nuptials. Justin and Jessica had tied the knot in a romantic week-long
extravaganza at the Borgo Egnaza resort in Southern Italy two weeks ago.
Newly-released
shots show the blissed-out couple exiting their private plane and boarding a
helicopter to the reserve of Singita Grumeti in the world-famous Serengeti
Park. Landing in the Sasakwa landing strip on October 21, Jessica covered her
famous face with a white cloche hat. The 30-year-old bride also wore a white
tank top under a grey cardigan, white trousers, and sensible flats.
Meanwhile,
the 31-year-old groom was seen in a hat with matching khakis and a black
T-shirt. Justin and Jessica reportedly stayed at the luxurious Sasakwa Lodge.
According to the resort's website, each air-conditioned cottage has a heated
infinity-edge pool overlooking 'where the land stretches forever'.
The
lovebirds are believed to have enjoyed adventurous game drives with
professional guides and a picturesque hot air balloon safari across the
sprawling plains of the Serengeti. The posh resort also offers activities such
as horseback riding, archery, lawn croquet, mountain biking, yoga and tennis.
Five
days later, the famous couple reportedly continued their celebration at the
riverside Faru-Faru Lodges in the same 350,000-acre preserve before leaving
October 30 by helicopter, then boarded a private plane destined for yet another
exotic location. Tanzania seems to be one of Biel's favourite tour destinations.
She visited Tanzania back in 2010 when she scaled the 19,341 peak of Mount
Kilimanjaro after a week-long charity climb alongside Emile Hirsch, Isabel
Lucas, Santigold, and Lupe Fiasco for the global clean water crisis.
It's
the first marriage for the twosome, who were engaged for 10 months after Justin
proposed to Jessica in Big Sky, Montana with a custom-designed ring last
December. Celebrity guests of the destination wedding included SNL's Andy
Samberg, music producer Timberland and Jessica's 7th Heaven co-star Beverly
Mitchell.
It
was estimated that the week-long celebrations might have cost the on/off
couple, who dated for five years, $10 million. And as Jessica walked down the
aisle in her custom pink Giambattista Valli gown, Justin serenaded her with a
new original song. 'I figured if there was something I was going to be able to
offer, it would be to sing her down the aisle,' the crooner told Hello! Magazine.
'Grown
men were weeping. Hopefully it's because I didn't sound bad. 'One celebrity guest
who admittedly wept at their Italian ceremony was talk show host Jimmy Fallon. 'It
was just insane. Everything was just beautiful. It was really, really a
beautiful night, the perfect temperature,' the funnyman revealed on Bravo's
Watch What Happens Live. 'I'm just a sucker for weddings. I'm a fun person to
invite to a wedding. I dance. I get up. I drink. But then I weep!'
