6 Questions About Kenya Honeymoon Safaris

Answered by

Ariadne van zandbergen.

Why is Kenya a good choice for a honeymoon trip?

“Kenya is the perfect destination for an action-packed honeymoon. If you’re looking for a holiday of a lifetime with the person you love, a Kenyan safari might just strike the right balance between romance and adventure. Kenya offers a wealth of activities in beautiful surroundings. You can mix and match spending time in bucket-list parks, such as the Masai Mara National Reserve, with moments in unspoiled wilderness, and some relaxation on the coast. Kenya’s established safari industry is well-equipped to make a honeymoon very special. There are many small lodges and boutique hotels offering personable but unobtrusive service. As newlyweds you can expect a few touches that make your stay extra memorable. All the details aside, what could be more enchanting than being in nature with the one you love? ”

Are there recommended activities for a honeymoon in Kenya?

“While a Kenyan safari is mostly about vehicle-based wildlife viewing, you might want to mix it up a bit for variety. Early morning and afternoon game drives are the standard activities on a Kenyan safari, and the most productive way to see lots of animals. For a different experience, go on a walking safari. Your guide will show you all the small details that are easily overlooked on game drives. It’s lovely to stretch the legs, and you won’t soon forget seeing large animals on foot. You’ll feel in touch with nature on a horseback safari, but adrenaline junkies might prefer quad biking. A hot-air-balloon safari is a treat for a honeymoon. You’ll glide above the animals on the open plains at sunrise and this is followed up with a champagne breakfast in the bush. ”

What are the most romantic places for a honeymoon safari in Kenya?

“The key to a successful honeymoon safari is to get away from the crowds. The private conservancies offer a holistic safari experience, with emphasis on quality time in a serene environment as opposed to ticking off the Big Five. Several lodges here offer some of the most spectacular views in Kenya. Kenya is a popular honeymoon destination, for good reason. The African bush, with its raw beauty, is an alluring environment for outdoorsy newlyweds. Intimacy and privacy are essential components of a romantic holiday. Another winner for an enchanting safari is Meru National Park. This Big Five destination is vastly underrated and the lack of big hotels keeps it congestion-free. The location of Elsa’s Kopje, a lodge carved in a hill overlooking the park, is one of the most memorable ones in the country, and I can’t think of a more romantic place than its stone-hewn infinity pools. Then there is the world-famous Masa Mara NR. The wildlife viewing is unparalleled, but it is harder to avoid the crowds here. Budget permitting, stay in the Mara North Conservancy for an exclusive experience of a lifetime while empowering the local Maasai communities. ”

Can we extend our trip with some time on the beach?

“It is easy to extend your Kenya honeymoon safari with a beach getaway. Nairobi, Kenya’s capital city, is one of Africa’s main transport hubs, so you can look at a beach add-on within Kenya or elsewhere in the region. There are many resorts and boutique hotels to choose from on Kenya’s beautiful coastline. Watamu Marine Park, with its coral gardens and picture-perfect bays, is the ideal setting for a beach extension. You won’t get bored here. Aside from all the usual water activities, day trips to Arabuko Sokoke Forest Reserve, the overgrown Gedi Ruins and Kipepeo Butterfly Project are all highly recommended. For true island bliss, you can also fly to Zanzibar, in neighboring Tanzania, or to a more remote Indian Ocean island destination such as Seychelles or Mauritius. ”

Are there special honeymoon safari packages in Kenya?

“There are many honeymoon packages available in Kenya. Operators use their knowledge of the lodges and parks to put together something truly magical for newlyweds. Every lodge is chosen carefully. It might have an amazing view, a honeymoon suite, an infinity pool, or a private plunge pool. The lodges will be informed that you are on honeymoon, and they’ll do their bit as well. You might get a breakfast on your deck or a candlelit dinner by the pool. Or you might get a surprise spa treatment for two. Most honeymoon packages will combine a safari with some relaxation on the coast. After the adventures of a safari, you’ll appreciate a sleep-in with the sound of the waves crashing, and swimming together in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. No doubt you’ll also enjoy strolling hand in hand on endless beaches and sailing in a traditional dhow at sunset.”

Will we get enough alone time on a honeymoon trip?

“Even though a Kenyan safari is quite an active holiday, you should definitely get some alone time on a honeymoon. To secure quality time alone with your partner, I recommend booking a private safari as opposed to a group safari. You’ll have more flexibility on a private trip too. While most tours tend to be action packed, there is nothing stopping you from taking a morning or afternoon off to spend time together at the lodge. Maybe have a sleep-in and skip the early morning game drive. The lodges are often in magnificent locations, perhaps overlooking a river or a waterhole. And while the normal routine is to go out on a drive to look for animals, you can sometimes see a lot from the lodge’s main deck, a hide, or even your private balcony. ”

Top 5 Romantic Safari Destinations: A Honeymoon Safari Guide in Kenya

by Julius Maina Nderitu | Sep 2, 2023 | Honeymoon Safaris | 0 comments

Planning the ultimate romantic getaway? A honeymoon safari in Kenya offers an unparalleled blend of adventure and intimacy. This blog focuses on five romantic safari destinations in Kenya that promise to make your honeymoon safari an unforgettable experience. From the Maasai Mara’s untamed beauty to the tranquil beaches of Diani, Kenya is the ultimate honeymoon safari destination.

Why Choose Kenya for Your Honeymoon Safari

Kenya is a land of diverse landscapes and rich cultures, making it an ideal destination for honeymoon safaris. From the savannahs of Maasai Mara to the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya, the country offers a unique blend of adventure and romance. Campo EA Safaris, a trusted provider, offers various packages to suit your romantic needs, ensuring your honeymoon safari is nothing short of magical.

1. Maasai Mara: The Epitome of African Wilderness for Your Honeymoon Safari

Why maasai mara is unbeatable.

Maasai Mara is not just another safari destination; it’s a world-renowned reserve that offers a blend of adventure, natural beauty, and luxury, making it the ultimate choice for your honeymoon safari. The reserve is located in Narok County, Western Kenya, and connects to the Serengeti in Tanzania. The Maasai Mara is often referred to simply as “The Mara,” a name derived from the local Maasai language meaning “spotted,” which aptly describes the short bushy vegetation that dots the landscape.

The Great Migration: A Natural Wonder

One of the most awe-inspiring phenomena you can witness here is the Great Wildebeest Migration, which has earned the Maasai Mara a spot as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. Imagine sharing the breathtaking experience of watching massive herds of wildebeest and zebras crossing the Mara River, all from the comfort of your luxury-tented camp.

Big Five and Beyond

The Maasai Mara is home to the Big Five—Lions, Elephants, Rhinos, Leopards, and Cape Buffalo. But it’s not just about ticking off a wildlife checklist; it’s about experiencing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Whether it’s the thrill of a lion hunt or the grace of a leopard lounging in a tree, these are moments that will make your honeymoon safari unforgettable.

Luxury in the Wilderness

Campo EA Safaris offers a 3-Day Visit to Maasai Mara in a Luxury Tented Camp that includes two nights of full-board accommodation at the Zebra Plains Mara Luxury Tented Camp. The package includes park entrance fees, transport in a tour Landcruiser, and meals. This isn’t just a trip; it’s a curated luxury experience set against the backdrop of one of the world’s most stunning natural landscapes.

Unique Activities to Elevate Your Experience

Your honeymoon safari in Maasai Mara can be as adventurous or as relaxed as you want it to be. The package offers optional activities like hot air balloon rides, visits to Maasai villages, and even horse riding. Each of these activities offers a unique perspective of the Maasai Mara, making your honeymoon not just a trip, but a rich tapestry of unforgettable experiences.

2. Amboseli: At the Foot of Mount Kilimanjaro

The majestic backdrop of mount kilimanjaro.

Amboseli National Park is renowned for its stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest mountain. This backdrop provides an unparalleled romantic setting, making Amboseli a top choice for honeymoon safaris. Imagine waking up to the sight of the snow-capped peak, a spectacle that adds a touch of magic to your romantic getaway.

An Elephant’s Paradise

Amboseli is often referred to as the ‘Land of Giants’ due to its large elephant population. The Amboseli 3 Days package by Campo EA Safaris offers you the chance to see these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Witnessing these gentle giants against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro is a sight you and your partner will cherish forever.

Luxury Amidst Nature

Campo EA Safaris ensures that your stay is as comfortable as it is adventurous. The package includes full-board accommodation at the Amboseli Serena Lodge, renowned for its luxury and hospitality. After a day of game drives and nature walks, you can unwind in a setting that combines modern amenities with traditional African charm.

A Well-Crafted Itinerary

The package offers a well-thought-out itinerary that includes multiple game drives and relaxation time at the lodge. On the first day, you’ll depart from Nairobi and arrive at Amboseli Serena Lodge for a buffet lunch, followed by an evening game drive. The second day offers an early morning game drive and an optional visit to a Maasai village. The final day provides one last opportunity for a game drive before heading back to Nairobi.

Activities Tailored for Romance

In addition to game drives, the package offers optional activities that can make your honeymoon safari even more special. Whether visiting a Maasai village to immerse yourselves in local culture or a romantic dinner set up in the wild, each activity adds a unique layer to your honeymoon experience.

3. Ol Pejeta: A Conservation Success Story

A sanctuary of sustainable conservation.

Ol Pejeta Conservancy is not just a wildlife reserve; it’s a model of sustainable conservation. Located in Laikipia County, just west of Nanyuki, the conservancy was originally a cattle ranch in colonial Kenya. Today, it stands as the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa. Choosing Ol Pejeta for your honeymoon safari means you’re also supporting sustainable conservation efforts, a noble cause to begin your life together.

The Last Northern White Rhinos

Ol Pejeta is the home of two of the world’s last remaining northern white rhinos. Witnessing these rare creatures is not just a safari experience; it’s a moment of historical significance. Imagine sharing this once-in-a-lifetime experience with your partner, an experience that you won’t forget anytime soon.

A Rich Tapestry of Wildlife

In addition to its rhino population, Ol Pejeta has one of the highest numbers of predators per square kilometer. The conservancy also hosts the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where you can see chimpanzees. The diversity of wildlife makes every game drive an adventure, adding layers of excitement to your honeymoon safari.

Luxury and Comfort

The 2-Day Visit to Ol Pejeta Conservancy package by Campo EA Safaris includes one-night full-board accommodation at the best resorts money can buy. The package includes transport in a tour Landcruiser, game drives, and park entrance fees. After a day of adventure, you can unwind in a luxurious setting, making your honeymoon safari both thrilling and comfortable.

Activities Beyond Game Drives

The package also includes an afternoon hike to Mt. Kenya up to Ol Moses Point on day one. This offers a different kind of adventure, allowing you to experience the natural beauty of Laikipia and Mount Kenya. It’s an opportunity to add a touch of adventure to your romantic getaway.

Kenya honeymoon planning with the experts

The home of the luxury safari since it all began, Kenya still today evokes the image of a timeless safari, reminiscent of a bygone era. A honeymoon in Kenya will be an experience to remember, with a lingering atmosphere of the classic Out of Africa safari romance.

The best safari honeymoon destinations in Kenya?

Kenya Honeymoon itinerary planning

What are the most romantic lodges in kenya.

In the North, far from the madding crowds, Borana (Lewa Downs) is a charming and timeless owner-run lodge. We would particularly recommended it if you enjoy horse riding. Joy’s Camp (Samburu) is set around a waterhole, offering you the chance to stay in bed and not feel guilty – the wildlife will come to you! It’s a fabulous luxury tented camp with experienced staff who know how to look after honeymooners. In the south, the Greater Mara (outside the Mara Reserve) is home to Alex Walkers Serian and Bateleur Camp which both have private game viewing areas and can dip into the Mara itself if they choose. This way, you get the best of the Mara wildlife without lots of vehicles buzzing around your sightings. Serian is particularly remote and might take many out of their comfort zone with their laid back dedication to the best safari experiences out there - but absolutely worth it, in our opinion. We also have a lot of time for the bygone era romance of Cottar’s 1920’s Camp . It gets more difficult to find areas away from the crowds in the Mara Reserve, but Naibor is a well-managed and presented camp, and Rekero has the romantic views overlooking the huge African landscape (don’t get married in April or May, though, as the camp is closed!).

Kenya Luxury vs Kenya Adventure Honeymoon

The amount of different ways to explore Kenya is astonishing and there is no right or wrong way - it is totally dependent on the type of experience that you want. From the thrill of hiking in the Samburu Mountains and quad biking in Laikipia, to relaxing next to your plunge pool in one of the Mara’s hyper-luxury safari lodges, Kenya has it all. That is not to say that a luxury trip can’t also be adventurous; the joy of a tailor made honeymoon in Kenya is that you can combine all of the elements which appeal to you into one amazing and unforgettable trip. You can enjoy pretty much anything here; cultural experiences, horse riding, walking, game drives, night drives, quad biking, hot-air ballooning, fishing, boating (and the list goes on!).If you have a specialist interest then just give us a call and we will point you in the right direction.

Kenya safari and beach honeymoon packages

Kenya is one of the best destinations to combine a brilliant safari with an idyllic stay on the beach. The Indian Ocean coastline spans the entire Eastern length of Kenya, and dotted up and down are some beautiful beaches. As well as Kenya's own mainland beaches such as the white sands of Diani Beach , and the historic and charming Lamu, it is also now very easy to combine a Kenyan safari with the colourful island of Zanzibar . Flights link so well that you can get from your safari in the Masai Mara to Zanzibar in just a few hours. Kenya safaris can also be combined with the islands of the Seychelles , Mauritius, and the northern beaches of Mozambique - though, we would really recommend staying close to your safari to avoid wasting time and budget on something which is just as brilliant on your doorstep!

Why go on a Kenya safari honeymoon?

Infrastructure: Kenya has the whole honeymoon sewn up – excellent game-viewing and fabulous beaches. A romantic tented safari in the bush and a week reclining on a deserted beach? What more cold you want. Value for money: because you don’t have to fly far out of Kenya ft combine your safari with the beach, you keep the costs down - not to mention the hassle of international airports. Kenya Beaches: For those honeymooners seeking active days, there is kite-surfing, kayaking, windsurfing, paddle-boarding, mountain biking, big game fishing, sailing as well as the usual Indian Ocean world-class diving, and magical snorkelling. You are sure to be kept busy into your beach time if you wish! Easy logistics: There’s pretty much no time difference from the UK - you can fly overnight and be on safari or beach by the morning, so you don’t waste time being jet-lagged. Our US and UAE guests like to start their trip off with a few days in London for this reason. Kenya Wildlife: The Great Migration - two million wildebeest make their way into the Masai Mara from July and remain until October. Witnessing this remarkable natural spectacle on your honeymoon would be unforgettable.

How much does a Kenya Honeymoon cost?

Safari lodges in Kenya start from around $400 per person per night, for a brilliant safari in a good location - albeit with excellent but basic accommodation. This ranges all the way up to $1,800 per person per night for some of the most luxurious lodges in the whole of Africa. A ten day honeymoon in Kenya - combining a couple of safari areas with a some time on the beach - comes in at around $4,500 per person. From here, a honeymoon can go anywhere up to around $14,000 per person for the super luxurious end of the spectrum. It is worth noting, when looking at other African countries for a beach and safari honeymoon combination, this price can be considerably more given the more lengthy flights to get to that precious coastline, which Kenya has in abundance!

When to go on a Kenya honeymoon?

Kenya is in East Africa, just on the equator so it never gets too cold. The more pressing issue is actually when the rains arrive. Added rain means the wildlife isn't as concentrated, making the game viewing not as easy as when it is dry and hot. Really though, who wants a honeymoon in the rain? So stick to dry season, which at its peak is from July until October. The period from November to March is good too, but there can be a few short showers - it is a particularly good window to travel in if you want to avoid peak season rates - important when paying for an expensive wedding too! April and May should generally be avoided as this is when the heavy rains start, but there are still some places that are worth a visit and rates tend to be extremely low.

Kenya Honeymoon - Africa Odyssey Tips

A combination of two or more areas works really well to give you a varied and interesting safari experience - all are diverse and interesting in their own right. Visit a beach at the end (and even at the beginning too!) - you have to finish with a bit of relaxation! Look for smaller, boutique lodges and camps. Some of the bigger beach resorts are ok, but after an authentic and wild safari experience if you choose this style you may not enjoy it! Avoid trying to combine Eastern and Southern Africa. It is possible but the logistics waste a lot of your precious honeymoon time and money. They are better done as two trips. Always ask us about honeymoon deals - this is a big thing in Africa and can bring some of the more expensive lodges into a more affordable price bracket!

Reasons to Honeymoon in Kenya

Because you are unique, you have no interest in partaking in the conventional honeymoon or anniversary celebration. On your next romantic getaway, why not do something totally new instead than simply lounging on a beach? The Bespoke African Safari Co.’s travel specialists suggest a unique Kenya safari for those seeking adventure, romance, luxury, exclusivity, and superb game watching, among other things. Our seven favorite reasons to honeymoon in Kenya are detailed here.

Wildlife Viewing

Numerous species, including many members of the Big 5 , call Kenya home. In addition, tourists can experience rare and exotic species. Picturesque Giraffe Manor in Nairobi , Kenya, home to the Rothschild giraffes, serving as your breakfast. There must be a good reason why this is among the most Instagrammed places on Earth! Giraffes will drop by twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening, to nosh at your food through the windows. For the most unforgettable honeymoon wildlife viewing experience, combine this with a safari camp in the Masai Mara to witness the big migration of 2 million wildebeest , zebras, and other species. Another option is to visit Ol Pejeta Conservancy , where you can sight the last two Northern White Rhinos.

Honeymoons and romance are perfect together, and Kenya is the perfect location for both. Indulge in a romantic picnic or bush dinner under the stars with your special someone while sampling exquisite wines and delectable cuisine. A sundowner with champagne has never made a sunset seem more appealing. Have a preference for sunrises over sunsets? Spend the night in a treehouse or star bed beneath the African sky and awaken to breathtaking views of the Masai Mara as the sun rises, or take a hot air balloon flight over the reserve .

Despite Kenya’s remoteness, you won’t have to sacrifice any of your modern conveniences. Indulge in five-star hotel-quality lodgings, including roomy, contemporary tents, instead of the more rustic camping experience. Visit a safari spa for a massage and a refreshing swim. Alternatively, following your game drive, how about a romantic bubble bath with a view of the savanna? Having a private butler service available is a great relief after a long day on safari!

Kenya is a great place for all kinds of adventures, from easy to extreme. Night game drives are an exciting new way to see wildlife, especially when you can hear lions roaring. Get out of the car and experience the Masai countryside on foot with a walking safari, ride a mountain bike through the countryside for a different perspective, or ride a camel or horse. Alternatively, you might bathe in a waterfall and stroll through a treetop canopy in the Ngare Ndare Forest. Mountain climbing on Africa’s second-highest peak, scuba diving in the stunning and abundant Indian Ocean, and boat and helicopter tours of distant Lake Turkana are all options for the daredevils among us.

If you’re looking for ways to personalize your honeymoon safari, our travel agents can help. Experiential activities like tracking animals with a Samburu tribesman or throwing spears with a Maasai warrior are great ways to learn about the local culture and form bonds with the people. Stopping by one of the several local markets in Kenya, where you can get anything from bananas to camels, is an essential part of any trip there. Because Kenyans are master bargainers, you should practice your abilities before visiting the country.

Exclusivity

When compared to other vacation spots, Kenya provides an unparalleled level of seclusion and isolation. The private conservancies in Kenya mean fewer camps and lodges and, therefore, fewer people. For the height of seclusion, passion, and social separation, we can also set up private planes, game drives, restaurants, or villas. If you’re looking for a safari in Kenya that gets you away from it all, consider a trip to one of the country’s conservancies.

Close to Other Great Destinations

There is a lot of potential for an extension in Kenya’s bordering countries. Zanzibar, Pemba, or the Seychelles are three of East Africa’s most beautiful islands, and a honeymoon there would be the perfect way to wind down. If you want to add the once-in-a-lifetime chance to trek with gorillas to your Kenya safari, you may even extend it to Rwanda or Uganda.

What Makes Kenya a Great Honeymoon Destination?

Explore arid deserts, the vibrant savannah plains, equatorial forests or snow-capped peak of Mount Kenya, before relaxing on tropical beaches and exploring the wild coral reefs around the coast.

Kenya makes for one of the most inspirational safari honeymoon destinations in Africa, with the perfect cocktail of wildlife, adventure, cities and beaches. Start with the thrill of an adventurous wildlife safari, exploring the wild plains with your very own expert guide before relaxing at your lodge at sunset as wildlife drinks from the water hole just metres away from your balcony.

What to Expect from a Kenya Honeymoon Safari

Kenya’s great infrastructure means plenty of smooth sailing, perfect for concentrating on your experience without the worry or stress. Being just 3 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and an 8 hour flight, Kenya is still a million years from the UK in so many respects. Very few other destinations have so much diversity in habitat and wildlife.

You can explore a whole host of different cuisines throughout your honeymoon in Kenya, from traditional Kenyan dishes to English style cooking. Many of the lodges will do an early breakfast before a game drive, with a sumptuous lunch or brunch packed to tuck into on your safari. A majority of dinners will be three courses, dependent on where you are staying. You will have the option of romantic private dinners and lunches out in the bush, or, in some places, you can dine on your balcony or in your room with the services of your very own private butler.

On beach resorts, fresh seafood and fruit is usually the specialty, and we would always recommend trying any local delicacies - it's all part of the experience.

Accommodation

On a honeymoon safari in Kenya, the accommodation choice can be a little overwhelming, so we have whittled down to some of our favourites for honeymooners, including Sasaab Camp, Mara Plains Camp, Ol Donyo Lodge and Loisaba Lodge. On the beach, we prefer to keep our honeymoon experiences as natural as possible, focussing on ‘barefoot luxury’ properties, such as the outstanding island of Funzi Keys, and the beautiful property of Msambweni House.We understand that accommodation is a huge part of any travel experience, especially your honeymoon, whether you are relaxing after a day out in the wild, or chilling after a day in the sun. And it’s not just comfort that’s important; here we will always put the location before brass taps, so sometimes you won’t even have to leave your rooms for the ultimate in wildlife viewing!

The lodges and camps you choose for your honeymoon safari are essential as they all vary in size and intimacy. It's also worth noting that some lodges and camps cater specifically to honeymoon couples with special offers and romantic arrangements that can be organised discretely prior to arrival. We'll work with you to organise everything.

• Nairobi and Central Highlands: Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, and the central highlands have a temperate climate. The city enjoys a mild climate with temperatures averaging around 12°C to 26°C (54°F to 79°F). There are two rainy seasons from April to June and October to November.
• Maasai Mara and Rift Valley: These areas have a pleasant climate with temperatures ranging from 10°C to 28°C (50°F to 82°F). The main rainy seasons are from April to June and November to December.
• Western Kenya: Regions like Kisumu experience a relatively high amount of rainfall throughout the year. Temperatures range from 15°C to 28°C (59°F to 82°F).
• Northern Kenya: This arid region is hot and dry, with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 40°C (68°F to 104°F). Rainfall is minimal, with occasional rains from March to May.
• Mount Kenya: As you ascend Mount Kenya, temperatures drop significantly. At higher altitudes, frost is possible, so it’s essential to pack accordingly if you plan to hike.

The best time to visit Kenya for a honeymoon depends on your preferences. The dry season, from December to March and July to October, is ideal for wildlife safaris, as animals are easier to spot near water sources. If you prefer lush landscapes and birdwatching, consider visiting during the rainy seasons. The wildebeest migration in the Maasai Mara typically occurs from July to October.

Remember to check the specific weather conditions for your chosen destinations in Kenya, as they can vary. Whether you prefer the sunny beaches of the coast or the savannahs of Maasai Mara, Kenya offers diverse experiences throughout the year.

Is Kenya Safe for a Honeymoon?

Kenya can be a safe and exciting honeymoon destination, but like any other location, it’s essential to take some precautions and be aware of safety considerations. Here are some tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable honeymoon in Kenya:

• Check Travel Advisories: Before planning your trip, consult your government’s travel advisory to get the most up-to-date information on safety in Kenya. This can help you make an informed decision.
• Choose Reputable Tour Operators: If you plan to go on a safari or explore national parks, book your tours and accommodations through reputable tour operators. They have experienced guides and can provide security in remote areas.
• Health Precautions: Kenya is in a malaria-prone area. Consult with a travel clinic for vaccinations and anti-malarial medication recommendations. Be cautious about food and water to avoid traveler’s diarrhea.
• Travel Insurance: Purchase comprehensive travel insurance that covers health emergencies, trip cancellations, and unexpected incidents.
• Safety in Cities: In urban areas like Nairobi, be cautious of petty theft. Keep an eye on your belongings, avoid walking alone at night, and use reliable transportation options. Some neighborhoods have higher crime rates, so research areas to stay in or avoid.
• Wildlife Safety: If you plan to go on a safari or visit national parks, always follow the safety guidelines provided by park authorities. Keep a safe distance from wild animals and do not approach them.
• Cultural Sensitivity: Respect the local culture and customs. Dress modestly in rural areas and while visiting local communities. Learn about local customs and etiquette.
• Emergency Contacts: Keep a list of emergency contacts, including your country’s embassy or consulate in Kenya, local emergency numbers, and your accommodation’s contact information.
• Transportation: Use reliable transportation options. Avoid traveling at night on the road, as roads can be poorly lit, and wildlife may pose hazards.
• Local Advice: Seek advice from your hotel or locals about safe places to visit and areas to avoid.

Kenya is a stunning country with diverse landscapes, abundant wildlife, and a rich cultural heritage. By taking precautions and staying informed, you can have a safe and memorable honeymoon in Kenya.

Your Guide to a Kenya Honeymoon and Classic African Safari

For adventurous couples who want to experience a classic African safari, a Kenya honeymoon is hard to beat. This East African country is one of the best honeymoon spots in the world and a romantic place to visit thanks to its scenic landscapes, diverse wildlife, and warm hospitality. For many, witnessing the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but rest assured that even if you travel to Kenya during the shoulder seasons, you'll have plenty of chances to spot lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and other wildlife on safari.

If you have more than a week, you might want to add a few days in Nairobi, Kenya's bustling capital, or perhaps venture to the coast or Lamu Island. Thanks to its history as an Arab trading post, the island has a rich heritage and a unique culture. Considering the amount of time it takes to get to Kenya from the U.S. (anywhere from 13 to 24 hours), you should plan to spend at least a week there. With two weeks, you can combine a bit of time in Nairobi with a safari in the Maasai Mara and some beach time on Lamu Island. Read on for everything you need to know about how to plan a Kenya honeymoon.

Pros of a Honeymoon in Kenya

A trip to Kenya is the kind of bucket list trip that's meant for honeymoons. It's a popular destination for couples going on safari for the first time—and with good reason. Safaris are an excellent bonding experience. You'll spend most of your time out in nature, away from crowded cities, and the days tend to be structured around game drives, so there's very little planning required on your part.

"After planning a wedding, you don't need to wake up every day of your honeymoon and decide what to do and where you want to eat. The planning will be done—you just have to jump on board," says Elizabeth Gordon, co-founder of Extraordinary Journeys , a leading tour company that specializes in Africa. According to Gordon, many camps also offer honeymoon discounts if you travel within six months of your wedding. Another pro: most safaris are all-inclusive, with your meals and (in some cases) alcoholic beverages, daily game drives, and (some but not all) other activities factored into the room rate.

Cons of a Honeymoon in Kenya

Days on safari usually start at the crack of dawn (5 am in some cases) because that's when the animals are out and about, so if your idea of the perfect honeymoon involves sleeping in everyday, a safari might not be the best choice for you. In order to reach most safari camps and lodges, you'll need to fly into Nairobi and then take a small Cessna (sometimes called a bush plane), so if you or your spouse is afraid of flying, you might want to think twice about going on safari. Most camps are not fenced off, so precautions must be taken (after dark, you must always be accompanied by a staff member). Though you're not likely to come face to face with any wild animals, you might hear lions or leopards roaring at night.

The dry seasons (June through October and December through February) are typically recommended for travel to Kenya. July, August, and September are the months when you're most likely to witness the Great Migration. However, as these periods are peak season, you can expect to find higher prices and more people. During the wet seasons (mid-March through May and November), you're likely to get some rain, but on the other hand, the landscape will be green and lush and you'll find lower rates and fewer people around.

It's generally quite safe to travel to Kenya, but while on safari it's crucial to abide by the camp's safety precautions. On game drives, it's imperative that you say inside the vehicle unless your guide tells you it's safe to get out. And after dark, you must be accompanied by a staff member with a flashlight and usually a firearm in case there are predatory animals around.

There are some direct flights to Nairobi from the U.S., but you're likely to have a layover in Europe or the UAE. Bigger cities like New York sometimes offer direct flights to and from the country. And once you arrive in Nairobi, that's just the starting point. To get to the safari camps and lodges, you'll most likely have to take a bush plane.

Before departing for Kenya, you'll need vaccines for yellow fever, cholera, typhoid, and possibly other diseases. Depending on where you're going, you might need to take medication to prevent malaria. It's important to speak with your healthcare provider before your trip. You'll also need to apply for an e-visa in advance in order to enter the country.

Once you get there, you'll find that Kenyans speak excellent English (the country is a former British colony). The official currency is the Kenyan Shilling, but when tipping, USD is generally accepted. Kenya is on East Africa Time, which is eight hours ahead of EST.

The main reason to visit Kenya is to go on safari, but you can also experience urban life in Nairobi and relax on the beaches in places like Lamu Island. There aren't restaurants out in the bush, so you'll be eating your meals at the lodge or camp. High-end safari lodges and camps usually have their own guides and vehicles, but if you plan to visit multiple locations, it's best to work with a reputable safari operator like Extraordinary Journeys. They will handle all the details of your itinerary, including lodging and activities as well as in country transfers.

Angama Mara

Created by safari veterans, Nicky Fitzergald and her late husband Steve, this luxurious lodge boasts the most spectacular setting in the Maasai Mara, perched on an escarpment overlooking the Great Rift Valley. Thirty tented suites radiate out from the central pavilion, where guests gather around the fire to regale each other with stories about the day's adventures. The sleek, modern design includes many made in Africa touches. Staff organize everything from game drives to picnics in a secluded spot where some scenes in Out of Africa were filmed.

Basecamp Masai Mara

Situated along the banks of the Talek River, this tented camp by Basecamp Explorer has direct views of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Founded by Svein Wilhelmsen and Maasai chief Ole Taek, the company is involved in various conservation projects, which range from planting trees to empowering Maasai women by giving them a chance to sell their beaded handcrafts. Basecamp Masai Mara's 17 tents have solar-heated showers and bio-flush toilets and the camp has won awards for eco-tourism.

Elewana Loisaba Tented Camp & Star Beds

Gordon recommends this five-star tented camp in the Loisaba Conservancy, a 57,000-acre wildlife conservancy in Laikipia, in northern Kenya. Set on a high plateau, Loisaba is home to Kenya's second-largest elephant population as well as northern species like Grevy's zebra and reticulated giraffe. The honeymoon experience includes a private candle-lit dinner under the stars, or you can go one step further and sleep under the stars in one of Loisaba's Star Beds. Guests also love the in-room massages and visits to a Samburu village.

Leopard Hill

One of Basecamp Explorer's six camps in the Maasai Mara, Leopard Hill has unique round tents inspired by Maasai homes called Manayattas. They have retractable roofs, so at the press of a button, you can reveal the starry night sky. The six tents are located in a secluded valley in the Naboisho Conservancy in the shadow of a 'Double Fig Tree' so-called because when lightning struck the tree in the 1950s, it split in two. Guests praise the knowledgeable guides as well as the staff at the communal dining area for catering to specific dietary needs and preferences.

Mara Bushtops

The Bushtops company has just three intimate five-star safari camps in East Africa (this one and two in Tanzania) and guests rave about the friendly, attentive staff who go out of their way to make them feel welcome. The 12 luxury tents are outfitted with all the amenities you'd expect at a five-star hotel and the spa is praised as one of Africa's best. The camp is located in a private conservancy, which means that unlike at camps set inside national parks, guests have the possibility of off-roading and going on night drives.

Spot the Big Five on Safari

Do you know what the big five are? Hint: these are the most awe-inspiring animals you can see on safari—and they were once considered the most prized animals for hunters because of how challenging and dangerous it is to hunt them. They are lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos. On daily game drives, your guide will help you spot them, in addition to plenty of other wildlife, including zebras, giraffes, antelopes, cheetahs, warthogs, hyenas, many species of birds, and maybe even wild dogs. Many safari camps have binoculars for you to borrow, but you might want to bring your own just in case.

Enjoy Nightly Sundowners

Sundowners are a cherished ritual at the end of the day's game drive. You might return to camp to enjoy a sundowner by the fire or your guide might stop at a scenic spot and set up a makeshift bar on the hood of the vehicle or bring you to a magical place where the camp's team has set up a bar in the middle of the bush. It's your chance to enjoy a classic Gin & Tonic, wine, or beer with some salty snacks and take in the beauty of the African landscape as you watch the sun start to set over the horizon.

Take a Hot Air Balloon Ride

It's worth the pre-dawn wake-up call for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, which your safari operator or camp can arrange for you. You'll warm up with hot coffee or tea and watch the balloon slowly inflate before you hop into the basket and rise high above the treetops, floating wherever the wind takes you as you gaze down at the savannah and spot animals from up high. In keeping with tradition, hot air balloon rides usually end with a Champagne toast and breakfast in the bush. It's definitely one of the most memorable experiences you can have on safari.

Learn About Maasai Culture

The Maasai are one of more than 50 recognized native tribes in Kenya and remain one of the few that has held onto their traditions and lifestyle. A semi-nomadic tribe of herders, they're known for their bravery and can be easily recognized by their bright red robes. Many camps work with Maasai guides and some organize visits to Maasai villages or other ways for guests to interact with the Maasai. Angama Mara, for example, gives guests a chance to watch Maasai jumping contests and go on walking safaris with a naturalist Maasai guide.

Explore Nairobi

Most people use Nairobi as merely a jumping-off point to head out to the bush, but Gordon recommends spending a couple of nights there at the start of your trip to ease into things. In Karen, the neighborhood named after Karen Blixen, who wrote Out of Africa , you can feed giraffes at the Giraffe Center and Giraffe Center Nature Trail, shop for artisan goods at Utumaduni Shops, which brings together a variety of local vendors, and admire contemporary African sculptures at MatBronze Art Gallery, Kenya's first bronze foundry.

Pro tip: Add a Kenya honeymoon fund to your gift registry so that loved ones can gift you one of these memorable couples activities. Don't forget to post some amazing honeymoon photos to your wedding website and social feed for your guests to see.

When going on a Kenya safari, you'll be limited to 33 pounds of luggage per person in soft-sided bags, so you'll have to pack light. "You need less than you think!" Gordon says. "You'll be able to do laundry everywhere, you don't need fancy clothes at dinner, you don't need to wear an all khaki and olive wardrobe all the time, and you don't need clunky hiking boots unless you're going somewhere with more serious focus on walking."

Do bring a warm jacket for early mornings and evenings, when it can be quite chilly. Most safari camps offer blankets when the chill sets in too. Prepare sunscreen, a hat, as well as other sun protection products and pieces as Kenya is on the equator. Other than that, focus on comfort. For more honeymoon packing tips, explore our guide .

The best time to visit Kenya

Depending on your interests and travel goals, there is no one ideal time to visit Kenya. Kenya has two main rainy seasons and two dry seasons that may affect outdoor activities and wildlife viewing. Generally speaking, the two dry seasons are the ideal times to visit.

The first dry season is between January and March. This is the best time to see wildlife because the weather is usually dry and nice. In national parks and reserves, animals are easier to see because of the sparser foliage. It’s a period when a lot of animals give birth, so you might be fortunate enough to view some babies!

The second dry season is between June and October. It’s thought to be the greatest time of year to go on safari and see the animals because of the pleasant weather. Furthermore, between July and August, the Maasai Mara is the site of the world-famous wildebeest migration, drawing tourists from all over the globe. The days don’t get overly hot and the weather is generally pleasant, however, it can get chilly in the mornings and evenings.

How to get to Kenya

Kenya has two main international airports: Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi (JKIA) and Moi International Airport in Mombasa. JKIA has more connections to airports all around the world.

• Kenya Honeymoon Safari

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

By Matthys van Aswegen

Safari Travel Planner

Generally, Africa is a top choice for nature-loving couples. A Kenya honeymoon safari especially has long been a choice destination for couples wanting spectacular safari experiences .

Kenya is a country where falling in love all over again is as easy as spotting a wildebeest. The rustic surroundings and soft-sand beaches with their azure waters make Kenya a timeless destination for romantics.

Coupled with the excitement of seeing the Big Five, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro , the Great Wildebeest Migration , and some of the world’s most exclusive and romantic secluded private wildlife conservancies, it’s no wonder that a Kenya honeymoon safari is a popular choice.

A great Kenya honeymoon safari itinerary would be to start with a few days at one of the exclusive camps that stud the conservancies bordering the Masai Mara or Amboseli, then maybe head to a similar camp on the Laikipia Plateau.

This could be followed by a few days of relaxing at a ‘barefoot luxury’ style beach resort near Diana, Watamu, or Malindi.

The Only Guide to a Dream Honeymoon Safari in Kenya

Wherever the bar is in your romantic relationship, a honeymoon demands you take it a notch higher. Getting away together to celebrate your union might not be the first time you travel as a couple, but it is unique. You are celebrating the beginning of a new stage in your life. Naturally, it must be exceptional. So, your honeymoon has to be memorable in all the right ways. Picking a destination is one of the hardest parts of planning a romantic holiday, and if you are here, half the job is done.

Kenya is a top honeymoon destination in Africa, thanks to its diverse offerings. Whether you hope for a quiet time in the wilderness, basking on an exquisite sandy beach or seeing wildlife, Kenya has something for every taste. The perfect honeymoon safari evolved from stereotypical game hunting to various environmentally responsible activities.

You can spend a few days or weeks marveling at the magnificence of Kenyan landscapes, cultures, and cuisine. If it’s your first trip to the country, a bit of help goes a long way, which explains this post. We put together a few elementals about Kenyan honeymoon tours to ease some of the stress of planning this special getaway. Keep reading to learn about the best travel ideas for you and your other half.

Beach Holidays

A lot of people think of sun, sand, and refreshing drinks when talking about honeymoons. Although it might not look like it, beach getaways are not cliché. In fact, they are timeless. The trick is finding a destination that gives you everything you want from a romantic getaway. Do you prefer a quiet or busy location? Are water sports part of the itinerary? Do you intend to spend your days being pampered or hopping from one attraction to another? Beach holidays in Kenya come in all styles.

Diani, located in Kwale County, is a top-tier location – Africa’s best beach location five years running since 2015. It promises clear, turquoise waters, powdery sandy shorelines, and excellent weather all year round. Stay at some of the top resorts in Kenya like the Swahili Beach Resort, Diani Reef, and the Sands at Nomad.

Two hours from Mombasa is Malindi, perfect for an activity-filled holiday. It’s a city steeped in history going back to the 1500s. So, the seaside town offers plenty to see. Your trip can include hiking in the Mara Depression, a beautiful natural rock formation. The Malindi Marine National Park is a must-see as well. It features rich aquatic life, ranging from corals to sea urchins.

The park is famous for glass-bottom boat rides that grant dramatic views of oceanic life. Alternatively, you can go snorkeling, water skiing, or windsurfing. The Villa Ameera, Sandies Malindi Dream Garden, and White Elephant Sea Lodge are some leading accommodation options.

From Malindi, or instead of, head to Watamu. The national park in this small coastal townhouses different turtle and fish species. For more adventure, visit the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest Reserve. The reserve is home to a small elephant population and is perfect for bird watching.

Adventure Tours

What if you prefer a bit of adrenaline during your honeymoon? Then Kenya has some interesting alternatives for adventure safaris. For an ambitious couple, hiking Mt. Kenya is a good way to test your endurance, both physically and emotionally. It’s quite a unique way of starting your life as a married couple. The hike can be treacherous, especially for beginners. Mt. Kenya climbing tours also let you discover the striking scenery in the central highlands. Since the mountain is in the national park, you get to see the impressive flora and fauna populating the area.

If you want an off-the-beaten-track experience, then northern Kenya is it. Turkana is particularly enchanting. The crocodile-infested Lake Turkana supports diverse vegetation and animals. You can sight hippos and water turtles at the largest alkaline lake in the world.

Bird watchers have more than enough to capture their attention at L. Turkana. Visit the Central Island National Park to see the region’s wildlife offerings. Take a boat ride at Ferguson Gulf, and maybe go fishing.

Eliye Springs adds a coastal feel to your adventure safari. Lounge on the sandy beach while sipping chilled champagne with your companion. The remote nature of the resort makes it the perfect spot for an off-the-grid honeymoon.

Samburu is another gem awaiting your discovery. The county is a mixture of a rich heritage and incredible wildlife. See reticulated giraffes, beisa oryx, and the Big Five at the Samburu National Reserve. Explore the villages to learn the local culture as you interact with the different communities in the region.

Bush Safaris – Dream Honeymoon Safari

Picture a candlelit dinner in the wild with sounds of different animals in the distance. Think of breakfasting under a glorious sunrise before a fun-filled day of sightseeing. Nature-loving romantics will love Kenyan bush tours. You get to spend time admiring some of the best natural wonders with your life partner.

The Masai Mara is a premier destination for a bush honeymoon. If you can plan your trip to coincide with the Great Migration, that would be superb. It’s an opportunity to observe one of the greatest spectacles on earth. However, don’t limit yourself because Mara has so much more to offer. Olarro Plains, Mara Plains Camp, and Eagle View are some top accommodations.

Amboseli National Park is the epitome of a picturesque bush holiday. With Mt. Kilimanjaro as a backdrop, honeymooners can experience life-changing adventures. Explore the vast savannah plains that are home to about 1500 elephants. Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge, Tortilis Camp, and Ameg Lodge Kilimanjaro are a few ideas for romantic accommodation at the Amboseli.

Tsavo is another world-class bush holiday destination. Covering Kenya’s largest protected area, Tsavo East and West provides a habitat for several large mammals, including the Big Five. If you are more interested in photo-worthy vistas, then stick to Tsavo West. Make a point to see both parks, though. You won’t regret it.

The perfect honeymoon means different things to various couples. So, decide what works for you, then take the time to browse through the top destinations in Kenya. Whether it’s the beach or the bush, count on finding a trip that satisfies your desires.

Newlyweds have many reasons to visit Kenya, the principal being the diversity of the region. Regardless of how divergent your tastes are, you can be confident about finding a compromise when it comes to a honeymoon destination. Once you decide what works for you, then you can proceed to organize a unique getaway. Our tips for planning a honeymoon safari should help you come up with a trip for the ages.

Honeymoon Safaris

The world's best african safari tours for couples in kenya & tanzania.

Looking for the perfect honeymoon?

Picture the romance of swaying palms, pink sunsets, and starry nights. 

Now add the adventure of racing cheetahs, prowling leopards, and marauding lions over the savannah.

If you are romantic – and we know you are – and adventurous, no place but East Africa will fill you with such an overflowing blend of the two.

Imagine, tracking the big cats, immense elephants, and delightful giraffes on the golden savannahs by day and then settling into your cozy tented camp or sleeping under a diamond sky at night… lulled to sleep by the chirps and calls of nature’s melodies all about.

Our personalized safaris in Kenya and Tanzania will create an unforgettable beginning for your new life together.

Honeymoon safari highlights.

The wildlife parks, conservancies, lodges, and discreet, romantic tented camps throughout Kenya and Tanzania present endless but delightful choices.

Here are just a few:

Treat yourselves like British royalty with a stay at Giraffe Manor in Nairobi. This 80-year-old mansion set amongst the woods would have you believe you were in the English countryside except for the many giant Rothschild’s giraffes moseying about the grounds. Don’t be surprised when they poke their long necks through the window for a bit of breakfast.

Not far off, you’ll be cooing at the sight of dozens of baby elephants at the David Shedrick Elephant Orphanage . Watch as the adorable waits-high babies drink from their giant baby bottles.

You can’t visit Kenya without exploring its most famous park, the stunning Masai Mara National Reserve . Home to the Great Wildebeest Migration , you’ll thrill to the spectacle of millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles, pouring into the park. But you can also add unique experiences befitting a memorable honeymoon like a dawn hot air balloon safari over the reserve, as the sun lights up the land and wildlife below.

For another indelible moment in your honeymoon, the two of you can engage in a Maasai wedding ceremony. Celebrate your union as Maasai warriors escort you to the altar under the gaze of the village chief as you declare your vows amidst the timeless setting of the Masai Mara.

And if you’re in the mood for love and its offspring, a visit to Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park will bring you into the immense calving fields of the Ndutu region. During the birthing season from December through March, thousands of baby wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and more fill the vast plain with their infant cries, yelps, and bays as they take their first wobbly steps into our world.

Romantic Safari Holidays

Our Africa and the safari life specializes in romance. Where else can you enjoy a dinner under the stars, with just the flicker of the candles and the distant sounds of wildlife adding its romantic soundtrack to your meal?

Enjoy a couples massage or bubble bath overlooking the moonlit savannah. Settle into our cozy star beds, with the natural world about lulling you to a peaceful sleep. 

And in the soft light of the new day, we’ll take you for a breakfast feast in the bush, with the morning dew fresh upon the land.

Beach Safari Holidays

But East Africa isn’t only wildlife parks – your honeymoon safari will find its perfect finale at our world-class beaches and shores hugging the turquoise Indian Ocean.

Kenya’s Diani Beach is an inviting uncrowded swath of golden sand perfect for snorkeling and diving. Up the coast, the beach town of Lamu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and playground for the international set. It’s a delightful blend of Swahili, Arab, and Asian influences with a distinctly chill vibe.

Or explore Tanzania’s crown jewel of a beach scene on the postcard island of  Zanzibar . This picturesque slice of paradise offers an assortment of quaint fishing villages, punctuated with pristine sands and opportunities to sail, swim, and snorkel.

Any of these East African beach havens will leave you brilliantly refreshed, a wonderful coda to your honeymoon safari.

Plan Your Honeymoon Safari Tour

So how much time should you plan for your safari? And what kind of budget should you expect?

When you speak with your Africa Kenya Safaris honeymoon expert those will probably be your first questions along with what countries and parks should you visit.

Everyone’s safari, just like everyone’s honeymoon is unique, depending on your wishes, desires… and dreams. Your honeymoon expert will review the parks with you, their settings, and the wildlife you’ll find there. You’ll also talk about the special options befitting a once-in-a-lifetime romantic adventure.

Most couples will want to spend at least a week on the safari portion of their honeymoon to really get a taste of the parks and the safari life.

Your budget is of course personal and we will match the best accommodations and experiences with your comfort level. No matter what, we will personalize your adventure to your expectations. 

Please let us know what you are thinking about, how you picture yourselves on safari, and most especially on your honeymoon. We’ll take it from there and custom-craft your very best adventure and romantic experience.

Best Places for Honeymoons in Kenya - Beach and Wildlife Honeymoons

Kenya honeymoon safari destination #1 - diani beach.

We have looked at some of the best Kenya Honeymoon destinations you can book with us and have a memorable adventure.

Diani Beach is a spectacular tropical beach tucked along the Kenyan coast, 45 kilometers south of Mombasa. It is a must have in nearly all beach honeymoons in Africa. Diani is accessible from Nairobi via both road, air as well as by train. Next, we look at the best honeymoon hotels in Diani Beach as well as at romantic places to visit with your spouse.

Leopard Beach Resort

Wrapped in the beauty and majesty of the remarkable Diani Beach, the Leopard Beach Resort is the perfect destination for your Africa honeymoon in Kenya. Love birds that lay nest in this beachfront resort can be assured of the highest standards and services, interior décor and meals that break the perfect meter. 

It is here and nowhere else where lovebirds dance under the hazy glow of sunset. Lounge by the beach as you sip your margaritas, swim, snorkel, or walk hand-in-hand with your lover by the beach. 

To top it all are more than 158 elegantly furnished rooms, a spa, an outdoor swimming pool, and free Wi-Fi. Enjoy romantic dinners on the beach, star-gaze on the furnished patios, sunbathe, go on romantic picnics, or waste the day in bed.

Hint: We recommend combining Leopard Beach Resort with 3 nights at Entim Mara Camp for for a holistic Kenya honeymoon package . Entim offers the perfect blend of modern luxury and classic big 5 safaris . It is located in Masai Mara National Reserve on a hill and it offers deluxe room with magnificent views of Masai Mara Savannahs and wildlife. 

Nearby Attractions

The Resort lies 0.1km from Diani Chale Marine National Park and 13.9km from Tiwi Beach. It is 25km from the Shimba Hills National Park.

Southern Palms Beach Resort

With two outdoor pools, five restaurants, and ocean views like no other, this is the perfect destination for your luxury Kenya honeymoon. The Southern Palms Beach Resort is a 4.5-star resort nestled on Diani Beach, 35 km or so from the buzzing city of Mombasa. 

Whatever your palatial preference, you will be catered for and without disappointment. The resort features spacious air-conditioned rooms with patios offering spectacular views of the Indian Ocean. Two bars, air-conditioned racquet rooms, tennis courts, and a free, well-secured parking lot are also available. 

It also offers a variety of activities that you can check, book and confirm at the 24/7 customer service desk. Those lucky enough to have their honeymoon in Kenya graced by the full moon can celebrate their love with a full course meal served under the moon’s enchanting glow.   

But if you happen to be around during different days, you can have the same experience on request but during the day. Southern Palm beach resort is a great choice for those looking for mid-range beach honeymoons. 

Kenya Safari Honeymoon Destination #2 - Elsa’s Kopje

Nothing spells fun and romance like a luxury Kenya honeymoon at Elsa’s Kopje Meru. This camp is as rich in history as it is beautiful and is unquestionably one of the best places for a honeymoon in Kenya.

The resort is sculpted into Mughwango Hill, just above George Adamson’s original camp, where he, Adamson, raised lions and released them into the wild when they were old enough to cope. Back then, conservation was not as fashionable as today, so Adamson did it out of love for wildlife.

The camp itself sits in 215,000 acres of land overlooking the spectacular Meru National Park – which has the highest diversity of wild animals in East Africa. Meru National Park also has a rhino sanctuary and over 300 bird species.

Wake up to a breathtaking African sunrise with Mount Kenya in the background. Cuddle, sleep and repeat in the camp’s luxurious rooms. Enjoy splendid views from the comfort of your balcony. And enjoy romantic dinners or raunchy sessions assured of the exclusivity of your secluded cottage.

Things to do during Kenya Safari honeymoon with a stay at Elsa’s Kopje

Guided walks in the wild.

Swim in the infinity pool

Hang out on the deck with a book and enjoy the view.

3. Honeymoon Package in Kenya - Jambo Mutara Camp

Insane beauty finds comfort at Jambo Mutara Camp, a well-hidden gem nestled in the heart of Mt. Kenya. But it’s more than just Mt. Kenya for this one. This gorgeous camp also lies within the Mutara Conservancy, a 200,000-acre wildlife protection centre that houses thousands of birds and wild animals.

A bottle of prosecco, your spouse, and a cliff – because the camp is built on one – are all you need for a spectacular showcase of the wonders Mt. Kenya and Mutara Conservancy. Did we mention sunsets and sunrises in this part of the country are jaw-dropping? No? Should be on the list of wonders of the world if you’d ask us.

As well as the meals overlooking Mount Kenya or the waterhole, there are plenty of animals here like elephants, zebras, and other animals. If you want to have a bird’s eye view of Mutara Conservancy and Mount Kenya, we offer Kenya Helicopter Safaris , and guided walks in the wild.

Pristine and undeniably beautiful, the Kinondo Kwetu is a small private hideaway located on the equally, if not more, stunning Galu Beach. What the resort lacks in size, it doubles up with magnificence, its 7 suites promising impeccable interior design, breathtaking ocean and garden views.

This boutique hotel offers services that go beyond the client’s expectations. It is where you go if quiet, absolute comfort, and unimaginable beauty are what you desire for your luxury Kenya honeymoons.

5. Luxury Honeymoon Safari in Kenya - Saruni Samburu Luxury Experience

Magnificence is what you’ll find at Samburu National Reserve whether you want to go on long exciting game drives, walking safaris to explore the park. Samburu National reserve is a 165 km2 park nestled at the banks of Ewaso Nyiro that stands out for its quiet and serenity.

Some animals you are likely to see during Kenya safari in Samburu include Elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and more. And when you think it couldn’t get better than that, comes the elegant Saruni Samburu Lodge. 

The lodge is located on top of the Kalama Mountains, which automatically guarantees you beautiful views from a unique vantage point. Honeymoon packages to Saruni Samburu are ideal for honeymooners looking for privacy, intimate moments with nature, and quality time without distractions.

Among the property’s amenities list includes 2 swimming pools, impeccably styled rooms, a high-toned African restaurant, and a spa where you can enjoy some pampering. You can also pick a beauty tip or two from one of the lodge’s beauty experts. Its spacious and luxurious villas are our second-favorite part of this lodge. 

The villas come armed with stunning African décor, fully equipped bathrooms and views of the Samburu in all its glory. They are also fitted with indoor and outdoor shower spaces and have an ambience that makes you feel right at home. 

You can also get soft drinks, local beers, and house wines. And enjoy romantic dinners and lunches at an open dining area that overlooks the wildlife packed waterhole just below the lodge.

AfroChic Diani is located in Ukunda (South of Mombasa), right at the heart of one of the best tropical beaches in Africa.

It is the newest addition to the famous Elewana Group of African Safari Lodges and a jewel for honeymooners. Honeymooners love this establishment for the intimacy and serenity it provides, and so will you.

8. Kenya Honeymoon Safari - Sarova Shaba Game Lodge

The Sarova Shaba is located in the Shaba Game Reserve near the famous wildlife conservationists Joy (famous for her book, “Born Free”) and George Adamson. 

Fun fact, George accidentally shot and killed a lioness that was protecting her cubs – and He and Joy took the youngest cub home and brought her up, naming her Elsa. 

The lodge nestles on the banks of the all-season Ewaso Nyiro, which offers excellent views of the crocodiles that calmly float and swim through the waters. The hotel has a vast swimming pool that you can dive into during hot days. It serves a variety of drinks and dishes in its international restaurant.

Things to do during Kenya Honeymoons at Sarova Shaba Game Lodge

Some romantic things you can do at this lodge include game viewing and bush dining with your partner. After you have had enough of the outdoors, head to the Sarova Shaba Game Lodge spa, where you will get a couple’s massage that will leave your pores open, and your muscles relaxed. 

Sarova Shaba Game Lodge is also one of the best safari honeymoon destinations in Africa . Other Kenya honeymoon destinations like Sarova Shaba Game Lodge include Basecamp Masai Mara, Angama Masai Mara, and Entim Masai Mara. 

9. Safari and Beach Honeymoon in Kenya - Hemingways Watamu

Its staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the hotel’s atmosphere is just perfect for you to relax with your partner. All rooms have either a terrace, sitting areas or an expansive balcony that gives a splendid view of the beach, the garden, and the outdoor pool.

Romantic activities while Hemingway’s Watamu include:

Game viewing at Shimba hill’s

dhow trips,

and a visit to Gedi Ruins.

The gift shop is also not to miss where you can buy beautiful souvenirs that will remind you of this fantastic time in your life. I personally endorse Hemingways Watamu as the best destination for a honeymoon in Kenya. 

10. Kenya Honeymoon Destinations in Mombasa - Msambweni Beach House

Set on 20 acres of scenic coast, the Msambweni Beach House embodies all that is breathtaking about African Honeymoons in Kenya. This beautiful property sits 28.7km from the Chale Marine National Park, and approximately 52 kilometers from the Shimba Hills National Reserve.

Search for the 'Big 5' on your honeymoon safari, then relax on a beautiful beach

Enjoying a tailor-made luxury Kenya honeymoon is the ideal way to relax after your wedding, and with world class safari destinations such as the Masai Mara , Samburu and Amboseli , it really doesn’t get any better than this. All of Kenya’s national parks and reserves offer spectacular wildlife viewing, as well as some of the most luxurious lodges and camps on the continent, which are perfect for honeymoons.

Spend your mornings out on game drives and bush walks, before kicking back by the pool, G&T in hand, watching a herd of elephants trundle past just a few feet away. As evening falls, enjoy a private romantic bush dinner in the flickering candlelight, then finally creep off to your suite or star bed, wondering what adventures tomorrow will bring. Maybe you’ll be floating across the plains of the Masai Mara in a hot air balloon, watching the wildebeest migration far down below. Or perhaps you’ll be fly camping out in the wilderness of Laikipa . Whatever you decide, it will certainly be a honeymoon to remember.

Most people like to finish their Kenya honeymoon on one of Kenya’s fantastic beaches overlooking the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, which is where the resorts of Mombasa , Diani , Malindi and Watamu come in. The fine white sands are pristine, the seafood is fresh, and the sunsets surreal. Kenya’s watersports scene is second to none, with everything from diving and snorkelling to kite surfing and stand up paddle boarding. Or for those who prefer to keep both feet firmly on dry land, exploring the Swahili culture and history of the coast is a must.

Whatever floats your boat, just let us know and we’ll help you create a tailor made Kenya honeymoon package of your dreams.
