Kenya Beach & Honeymoon Safari

Days 1–3: The Heart of the Wild (Maasai Mara)

Your Kenya Safari and Beach Honeymoon begins with a sense of wonder. Upon arriving in Nairobi, you’ll skip the dusty roads and take a short, scenic flight into the Maasai Mara National Reserve. From the window of your light aircraft, the vastness of the plains stretches out like a velvet carpet.

You will check into a luxury tented camp where “camping” is a loose term—think copper bathtubs, plush king-sized beds, and private decks overlooking the Talek or Mara River. On your first afternoon, you’ll head out on a game drive. There is nothing quite like the adrenaline rush of seeing your first wild lion or watching a herd of elephants cross the path just meters away.

The highlight for many couples is the optional hot-air balloon safari on Day 3. Waking up before dawn is worth it when you find yourselves drifting over the Mara River as the sun paints the sky in shades of violet and gold. You’ll land in the middle of the plains for a “Great Migration” style breakfast, complete with white linen and chilled bubbly.
Day 4: The Serenity of the Rift Valley (Lake Naivasha)

After the intensity of the Mara, the next stop on your Kenya Safari and Beach Honeymoon is Lake Naivasha. This freshwater lake in the Great Rift Valley offers a different kind of beauty. It is lush, green, and incredibly peaceful.

Spend your afternoon on a private boat ride, watching hippos yawn in the water and fish eagles dive for their prey. Afterward, enjoy a walking safari. Unlike the vehicle-based drives in the Mara, here you can walk side-by-side among giraffes and waterbucks. It is an intimate way to connect with nature and each other.
Days 5–10: Coastal Bliss (Diani Beach)
On Day 5, the “Beach” portion of your Kenya Safari and Beach Honeymoon officially begins. A quick flight takes you from the highlands to the humid, floral-scented air of the coast. You will be whisked away to Diani Beach, consistently voted the best beach in Africa.

The Diani Experience

For the next five days, “island time” takes over. Diani is famous for its dazzlingly white sand and the vibrant coral reefs that protect the shore. Your days can be as active or as lazy as you desire.

Adventure: Head out on a Wasini Island excursion. You’ll spend the day on a dhow, spotting dolphins and snorkeling in protected marine parks where the tropical fish are as colorful as a kaleidoscope.

Intimacy: Book a couples’ spa treatment in an open-air pavilion, where the scent of coconut oil and the sound of the ocean melt away any remaining wedding stress.

Romance: On your final evening, a private table is set on the sand. With your toes in the water and a canopy of stars above, you’ll toast to your new life together over a feast of fresh grilled lobster and Swahili-spiced delicacies.
