Your Safari Experience Starts Here
Enjoy a private game drive in the open bush watching elephant and lion roam free, sip sundowners under a blood orange horizon, and take a romantic dip in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. There’s no better way to celebrate your betrothed than on a Kenya honeymoon with Natural World Kenya Safaris. A locally-owned tour operator, we will take you on an unforgettable honeymoon with an exhilarating safari in one of Kenya’s national parks or reserves followed by a relaxing beach vacation on the Kenyan Coast.
From iconic parks like the Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo to lesser-known parks like Samburu National Reserve and Lake Naivasha, Kenya offers a breadth of safari experiences for honeymooners. Add on a spectacular hot air balloon ride over the African plains and a laidback stay at one of Kenya’s comfortable Indian Ocean resorts, and you will have experienced a complete Kenya honeymoon package.

Spend four days with your guide in a 4X4 jeep exploring the world-famous Masai Mara Game Reserve. Here, you’ll experience unlimited game drives which will introduce you to Africa’s Big Five along with hundreds of other species, including giraffe, cheetah, hyena, gazelle, warthog, impala, klipspringer, and more. The Mara, as it’s known by locals, is home to the Great Migration where thousands of wildebeest and zebra traverse the savannah in search of greener grazing pastures in a jaw-dropping spectacle of survival.
Over the course of your four days in the Mara, you’ll not only see the Great Migration (if your honeymoon is July – October), but you can pay a visit to the Mara River to see hippo and crocodile, spend time relaxing at your lodge, call upon a Maasai village to meet the local villagers, and take an exciting hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara to view the roaming herds and wide open spaces from above.

Here, in the “Land of the Giants,” you’ll experience what it’s like to get close to these tusked gentle giants in Amboseli National Park, the best place in Africa to see elephants. But of course, that’s not all you’ll see. Through the lens of your binoculars or your camera, you’ll have the chance to view cape buffalo, impala, lion, cheetah and even snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, which rises in the distance and serves as a backdrop to all the action.
There’s so much eye candy in Amboseli National Park including, if you wish, the iconic red-cloaked Masai, with whom you’ll interact if you and your partner choose to visit a Masai Village

After your adventurous safari in the Kenyan bush, fly to Nairobi to hop on a short flight to the historic stone city of Zanzibar. This is the main island of a necklace of small islands, formally known as Unguja. Here, on palm-peppered beaches, you can enjoy your favorite cocktail as you watch the sunset over the Indian Ocean.
Awarded World Heritage status in 2000, the spice-scented alleys of Stone Town are a delight to lose yourself in, while the slow pace of the islands will have you keeping island time.
