Your Detailed Masai Mara Honeymoon Itinerary

Day 1: Scenic Flight from Nairobi to the Masai Mara

Your romantic Kenya safari package for 2026 begins as a representative from Africa Holiday Safaris collects you from your Nairobi hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. A comfortable transfer takes you to the private terminals of Wilson Airport, the bustling hub of Kenya’s safari air services. After a smooth check-in, you will board your morning flight to the Masai Mara. As the aircraft ascends, enjoy a breathtaking aerial perspective of the Great Rift Valley before the endless golden plains of the Mara unfold beneath you.

Upon landing at the Keekorok airstrip, your dedicated driver-guide will welcome you with a warm smile and your private 4×4 safari vehicle. A short game drive en route to the lodge will be your first introduction to this iconic ecosystem. After enjoying a delicious lunch and settling into your room at Keekorok Lodge, embark on your first official game drive at approximately 3:30 PM, exploring the vast landscapes and encountering remarkable wildlife as a newly married couple. You will return by early evening for a specially arranged romantic dinner.

Day 2: A Full Day of Immersion in the Mara

Experience the magic of the Mara with two intimate game drives today, timed for optimal wildlife viewing. Your early morning safari begins at 6:15 AM when the air is cool and predators are most active, providing excellent opportunities to witness the conclusion of their nighttime hunts. After returning to the lodge at approximately 9:00 AM for a leisurely breakfast, the late morning is yours to relax, perhaps by the pool or on the unique elevated walkway that offers views of the resident hippo pod.

In the afternoon, depart for your second game drive, exploring different sections of this vast reserve until approximately 6:30 PM. The changing golden light creates perfect conditions for capturing your honeymoon memories. Return to the lodge for a private dinner, arranged under the vast, star-studded African sky.

Day 3: Continued Exploration and Optional Adventures

Begin your day with another early morning game drive before breakfast, maximizing your chances of new and exciting wildlife sightings. After returning for a relaxed breakfast, you may choose to enhance your Kenya honeymoon safari with an optional visit to a nearby Maasai village (at additional cost). This fascinating cultural excursion offers an authentic glimpse into the traditions and daily lives of the Maasai people, who have coexisted with this region’s wildlife for centuries. Following lunch, enjoy your final afternoon safari into a different area of the reserve, returning by early evening for a special farewell honeymoon dinner.

Day 4: Final Game Drive & Return to Nairobi

After a final romantic breakfast overlooking the plains, you will check out and enjoy one last game drive as you make your way to the airstrip for your 10:30 AM flight back to Nairobi. Upon arrival at Wilson Airport, an Africa Holiday Safaris representative will meet you for your transfer to your Nairobi hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward journey. Should you wish to explore Nairobi’s attractions, such as the Giraffe Centre or the Karen Blixen Museum, we can seamlessly incorporate these into your honeymoon package.
