Kenya Honeymoon: The Safari Escape That’s Anything but Ordinary
For adventurous newlyweds who want to enjoy a classic African safari, a Kenya honeymoon is second to none. It is, in fact, one of the most romantic places in the world.
But what makes a honeymoon in Kenya the best of the best? Let’s find out.
Why You Should Honeymoon in Kenya
Game Viewing
A classic activity when experiencing a honeymoon in Africa. Book your own vehicle and enjoy wildlife sightings at your own pace, or hop onto a photographic safari with guides who help you capture incredible honeymoon memories. Even more exciting, float above the savannah at sunrise, spotting wildlife from above, followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush.
Cultural Experiences
A Kenya honeymoon isn’t just about the wildlife, but also about connecting with the soul of Africa. Visit a Masai village together and learn about ancient traditions. Witness a vibrant dance performance hand in hand. Browse local markets for beautiful beadwork souvenirs to remember your trip. There’s a lot to do not just to connect to the land, but with each other.
Intimate Accommodations
Kenya’s luxury safari lodges know how to set the scene when it comes to romance. Think private verandas overlooking endless plains, candlelit dinners under the stars, and outdoor showers tucked away in the wild. Many lodges even offer honeymoon suites with plunge pools, open-air bathtubs, and personalized touches, like flower-petal turn-downs.
The Best Times for a Kenya Honeymoon Safari
A honeymoon to Africa, and particularly Kenya, is best timed during the dry seasons. Late June to October or January to February is perfect. The times when the skies are clear, the landscapes are golden, and the wildlife is easier to spot as animals gather around water sources.
If you dream of witnessing the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara (where millions of wildebeest and zebras thunder across the plains), plan your honeymoon between July and September. It’s one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles, and sharing it together will feel truly once-in-a-lifetime, especially if you book a luxury Masai Mara honeymoon package.
For couples seeking a slightly quieter experience with fewer crowds, January and February offer beautiful green landscapes after short rains, along with excellent game viewing and balmy, romantic evenings perfect for outdoor dinners and stargazing.
