What sets it apart
A country steeped in romance, with its vast savannahs, brilliant sunsets and star-studded skies, Kenya was an idyllic choice for an unforgettable honeymoon safari. We spent time discovering the endless horizons of the arid Laikipia Plateau, which stretches all the way to Mount Kenya, before experiencing the open plains of the Masai Mara and the countless herds they attract during one of the greatest wildlife spectacles of the world.
We couldn’t have asked for a more romantic time away – cuddling together under the brilliantly-lit night sky at Loisaba Star Beds, sharing bubbly in the savannah after our hot-air balloon ride or while having an Out of Africa picnic … and embracing as we watched thousands of wildebeest stampeding across the plains to the river, with hungry predators in deliberate pursuit.
The lodges we stayed at provided incredible flexibility and the type of service that makes everything seem seamless – from finding our bath drawn with steaming hot water after a dusty game drive and rose petals scattered over the bed, to discreet butler service and private candlelit dinners. With plenty of activities to choose from, we could spend our honeymoon being swept away by the excitement of big-game encounters, discovering the beauty in the little things on a walking safari, or simply enjoying the comfort of our accommodation and the romance of being together in these stunning locations.
We also learned how our lodges work with communities to maintain the ecological balance of these sensitive areas, partnering with local Maasai and Samburu tribes to safeguard 23 Kenyan habitats.
Our honeymoon was everything we imagined, and more – the perfect blend of intimacy, romance and adventure in celebration of a lifetime to spend together.
