Kenya Honeymoons
People choose a Kenya honeymoon for a number of reasons – the ease in combining a first class safari with an idyllic beach, the fact that there is virtually no time difference from the UK (you can fly overnight and be on the beach or on safari by nine in the morning!) and the fact that Kenya has a vast range of exceptional accommodation in some of the most pristine and remote wilderness locations in Africa.
Furthermore, the country really does have something for everyone. The North has some of the most untouched and pristine wildlife in Africa, and the rich wildlife of the Masai Mara is perfect for first time safaris. And then there is the coastline, with some brilliant beaches, diving and fishing. Kenya safaris can easily be combined with the islands of the Seychelles and Mauritius, Zanzibar and the northern beaches of Mozambique.
Kenya's Masai Mara is without any question one of Africa's most famous parks. Home to a stunning array and exceptional density of big game, the sheer quantity of game that every game drive throws up is outstanding. There are very few places on the contine nt that offer such good big five viewing and the Mara also hosts the Great Migration's immense herds towarsd the end of the year. Serengeti, Okavango, Etosha, Kruger....no list of Africa's best reserves would be complete without the Mara.
Located to the North of Nairobi and Mount Kenya, the Laikipia Plateau is regarded as the gateway to Kenya’s remote and wild northern frontier country. The area thinly populated with huge vistas and areas of complete wilderness; some of Kenya’s finest views are found here. Huge cattle ranches and private estates cover the region, many of which are now private wildlife sanctuaries that contain the Big Five and Laikipia today is well respected as the countries most successful tourism initiatives. With miles of palm-fringed shores, powder soft coral sands and gin-clear seas, Zanzibar lives up to the Indian Ocean island idyll. The atmosphere is compounded by a colourful Swahili culture where traditional wooden dhows sail beneath billowing lanteen sails on each far horizon. A great location for exploring, diving and snorkelling and with a wide range of accommodation options to suit all budgets
Kenya honeymoons work well for those who seek adventure and activity, who loathe the thought of lying around soaking up the atmosphere... The joy of Kenya safaris is the extraordinary wealth of activities, inland and along the coast, and opportunities to lap up the atmosphere of the African bush from a well-established old bush home in Central Kenya.
Kenya's best honeymoon locationsA slightly younger sister to the infamous Shompole Camp down on the Tanzanian border, Naibor is a beautiful tented camp set in a stunning area in the centre of the Mara. Each of the 9 tents has been well thought out and use a side opening construction that allow you to feel even more a part of the forest around you.
Shaba National Park is probably one of the least known in Kenya...and long may it remain that way! Joy's was completed in 2007 and is a stunning, semi tented camp set on the fringes of a small lagoon complex.
Each of these vast, luxury villas exudes an air of calm and class. The Alfajiri Villas are located a stones throw away from what must be one of the best beaches in Africa and, with very high standards of service and cuisine, this definitely ranks in the top 5 beach destinations in Kenya. We are big fans of all of the villas and, with them being bookable in total or partially, they make a suitable getaway for families and couples alike.
