Your Romantic 10 Days Honeymoon Safari Itinerary Unfolds

DAY 1: ARRIVAL IN NAIROBI, THE SAFARI CAPITAL

Your adventure begins the moment you touch down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO). Your personal Africa Holiday Safaris guide will be there to greet you, ready to whisk you away from the hustle and bustle to Hemingways, an elegant, all-suite sanctuary in the tranquil and leafy suburb of Karen. This sophisticated retreat offers a peaceful and luxurious introduction to Africa, with stunning colonial-style architecture and views stretching to the famed Ngong Hills.

Depending on your arrival time, your wildlife encounters can begin immediately. Opt for a surreal game drive through Nairobi National Park, the only park in the world where lions, rhinos, and giraffes roam against a backdrop of city skyscrapers, or choose a heartwarming visit to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to meet the orphaned elephant calves at their feeding time.

As evening descends, toast to the start of your journey. Savor a gourmet dinner prepared by world-class chefs, served in the privacy of your suite or on your terrace. Rest deeply tonight, dreaming of the true wilderness that awaits tomorrow.

DAYS 2-6: IMMERSION IN THE MAGIC OF THE MASAI MARA

After a delightful breakfast, a short drive takes you to Wilson Airport for the breathtaking scenic flight to the Masai Mara. Watch from your window as the urban landscape gives way to the vast, patchwork quilt of the Great Rift Valley before the endless golden plains and scattered acacia trees of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife sanctuary unfold below.

Your home for the next four nights is the architectural marvel, Angama Mara, perched dramatically on the very escarpment where parts of “Out of Africa” were filmed. From your magnificent glass-fronted suite, suspended 1,000 feet above the Mara Triangle, you will command panoramic views that stretch to the horizon, a vista so vast and beautiful it feels as though you are on the edge of the world.

For four magical days, you will immerse yourselves in the rhythm of the wild. Embark on twice-daily game drives with your expert private guide, who will use their intimate knowledge of the terrain to track predators and prey across this wildlife paradise. Experience the thrill of your first lion sighting, the awe of watching a leopard draped elegantly over a branch, and the excitement of seeing cheetahs use termite mounds as lookout points to scan the savanna.

Should your visit coincide with the Great Migration (July-October), you will be at the epicenter of nature’s greatest drama. Witness millions of wildebeest and zebra on their epic circular journey, a sight and sound that is truly overwhelming. With luck and expert timing, you may even witness the heart-stopping spectacle of a river crossing, a chaotic battle for survival against the powerful currents and waiting crocodiles.

For an utterly unforgettable honeymoon moment, rise before dawn for an optional hot air balloon safari (additional cost). As you drift silently above the awakening landscape, the rising sun painting the savanna in hues of gold and rose, you’ll gain a perspective of the Mara’s sheer scale that is simply impossible from the ground. Your flight culminates in a champagne breakfast, served with flair in the heart of the bush, a memory you will cherish forever.

Between game drives, delve deeper into the Mara with guided bush walks, enjoy an authentic cultural visit with Maasai warriors in their village, or simply relax on your private deck, watching the wildlife unfold below. Each evening, return to the romance of candlelit dinners under a canopy of stars, with the sounds of the African night providing a gentle, wild soundtrack.

DAYS 6-10: BLISSFUL SECLUSION ON DIANI BEACH

Bid a fond farewell to the savanna as you board your flight to Kenya’s spectacular coastline. The landscape transforms dramatically beneath you, the golden plains giving way to the brilliant turquoise and sapphire blues of the Indian Ocean, fringed by coral reefs and endless palm-lined beaches.

Your coastal sanctuary is Alfajiri, an exclusive collection of just three private villas nestled within lush tropical gardens on the pristine, powder-soft sands of Diani Beach. This is the antithesis of a conventional resort. Alfajiri offers absolute privacy and seclusion, complete with your own dedicated team, a personal butler, a gourmet chef, and a masseuse, all attending to your every desire.

Step from your exquisitely appointed villa directly onto the beach. Your private infinity pool seems to merge seamlessly with the ocean horizon, where traditional wooden dhows sail silently past.

These five blissful days are a blank canvas for you to paint as you wish. Unwind with inclusive spa treatments in the privacy of your villa, stroll hand-in-hand along deserted stretches of beach, or simply luxuriate by your pool with a cocktail and a good book. For more active moments, world-class snorkeling and diving await in the protected marine park just offshore, where kaleidoscopic coral gardens teem with tropical fish.

Dining is an event in itself. Allow your private chef to delight and surprise you with menus crafted from the freshest local seafood and produce, served wherever you desire: on your private terrace under the stars, on the beach by flickering torchlight, or beneath the shade of swaying palms in the garden. Sunset becomes a daily celebration, with cocktails crafted just for you as the sky transforms through impossible shades of amber, rose, and violet.

Should you wish to venture beyond this paradise, we can arrange excursions to the nearby Shimba Hills National Reserve to spot forest elephants and the rare Sable antelope, or visits to coastal villages for a glimpse into authentic Swahili culture.

DAY 10: DEPARTURE WITH TREASURED MEMORIES

On your final morning, linger over a leisurely breakfast overlooking the Indian Ocean, soaking in the last moments of tranquility. At the appointed time, your driver will escort you to the Diani airstrip for your flight back to Nairobi, where you will connect with your international flight home.

As your plane lifts skyward, you will carry with you the extraordinary memories of a journey shared—from the untamed wilderness of the Mara to the serene beauty of the coast, the perfect, unforgettable beginning to your new life together.
