One of our favourite honeymoon destinations
Experience one of our expertly-crafted Kenya honeymoons with wild romance and beach bliss
Kenya is one of the most iconic honeymoon destinations in Africa, where safari adventures flow naturally into laid-back days on the beach. It’s the kind of place that gives you both – the thrill of wildlife encounters and the calm of warm ocean breezes – so your honeymoon feels like two holidays in one.
Escape normality with a Kenya honeymoon safari
Kick off your honeymoon with a luxury safari in the Masai Mara, Samburu, or Laikipia, where intimate camps blend seamlessly into the landscape and the days unfold at your pace. Create lifetime memories while tracking the Big Five on early morning game drives, sharing romantic bush breakfasts, and toasting the sunset with a drink overlooking the plains. Many of Kenya’s camps go the extra mile for honeymooners, with private dining, outdoor bathtubs, and even star beds where you can sleep beneath the open sky.
Unwind with a Kenyan beach honeymoon
After the adventure in the bush, Kenya’s coast invites you to slow down. Kenya’s beaches are as spectacular as the wildlife. Enjoy long stretches of fine white sand, warm turquoise waters, and the kind of peace that comes from doing absolutely nothing at all, or, if you prefer a taste of adventure, dive into Kenya’s world-class snorkelling, diving, kite surfing, or stand-up paddleboarding.
For something more cultural, explore the winding alleyways of Lamu or soak up the Swahili history that’s so much a part of coastal life. And wherever you go, expect fresh seafood, laid-back charm, and sunsets that feel almost too perfect to be real.
Creating once-in-a-lifetime memories
A Kenya honeymoon isn’t just about ticking off bucket-list moments; it’s about shared experiences, surprising stillness, and the space to reconnect after the whirlwind of a wedding. With our expert guidance and hand-picked camps and lodges, we’ll help you create a Kenya honeymoon that’s entirely your own. Thoughtful, romantic, and completely unforgettable.

FAQs About Your Kenya Honeymoons Holiday
Planning a holiday to Kenya Honeymoons? Our experts share advice on everything from what to pack, when to go, to tips for families, covering the questions we get asked the most.
Is Kenya a good destination for a honeymoon?
Yes – Kenya is a fantastic honeymoon destination. You’ll find world-class safaris, romantic lodges, private game drives, and incredible wildlife. It’s ideal for couples looking for adventure and luxury, with the option to end your trip on a stunning Indian Ocean beach. A Kenya honeymoon offers the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation.
How much does a Kenya honeymoon typically cost?
Kenya honeymoon prices vary depending on where you stay and when you travel. As a guide, a tailor-made safari and beach honeymoon starts from around £3,500 per person. This includes domestic flights, luxury lodges, and private experiences. We’ll work with your budget to create something special.
When is the best time to go on honeymoon in Kenya?
The best time for a honeymoon in Kenya is during the dry seasons: January to March or July to October. These months offer great weather and excellent wildlife viewing. October is especially good if you want to combine a Kenya safari and beach – it’s warm, dry, and less busy than peak months.
Can we combine safari and beach on a Kenya honeymoon?
Which national parks or conservancies are best for honeymoon safaris?
The Masai Mara and Laikipia are perfect for honeymoons. The Mara offers iconic game viewing and luxury tented camps, while Laikipia is more exclusive with private conservancies and fewer crowds. Amboseli is also stunning, especially for views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Is a Kenya honeymoon suitable for first-time safari-goers?
Yes – Kenya is ideal for a first-time safari. The wildlife is outstanding, the guiding is top-notch, and the lodges are used to looking after honeymooners. Whether you’re new to safaris or seasoned travellers, Kenya is easy to enjoy and endlessly rewarding.
How long should we spend on safari and how long at the beach?
For a balanced honeymoon, we recommend 4 - 6 nights on safari and 3 - 5 nights at the beach. This gives you enough time to explore the bush and unwind by the ocean. We’ll tailor the split to suit your travel style and interests.
Is 5 days in Kenya enough?
Five days is enough for a short Kenya honeymoon safari, especially if you fly between destinations. You could spend three nights in the Masai Mara and two on the coast or in Nairobi. However, if you want a more relaxed pace or to combine beach and safari properly, we recommend 8–12 days for a fuller experience.
Is it safe to travel to Kenya for our honeymoon?
Yes – Kenya is a safe and welcoming destination for honeymooners. As with any travel, we recommend booking through a specialist like us, who understands where to go and how to plan the safest, smoothest trip. You'll be well looked after from start to finish.
What should we pack for a honeymoon in Kenya?
Pack neutral-coloured clothing for safari, a light jacket for cooler mornings, comfortable shoes, swimwear, sun protection, and something smarter for dinner at the lodge. For the beach, it’s all about lightweight, breathable clothes. Don’t forget a good camera and insect repellent.
Can we include special experiences like hot air balloon rides or private dinners?
Definitely. Kenya honeymoons can include magical extras like hot air balloon safaris over the Masai Mara, private sundowners, bush breakfasts, spa treatments, or romantic dinners under the stars. We’ll add in the experiences that make your trip unforgettable.
What’s the best beach destination in Kenya for couples?
Diani Beach is one of the best beach destinations in Kenya for couples. It has white sand, clear water, boutique beach hotels, and great restaurants. Watamu and Lamu are also fantastic options, depending on your style – from barefoot luxury to cultural charm.
Can we add on other destinations like Zanzibar, the Seychelles or the Masai Mara?
Yes – Kenya honeymoons are easy to combine with other destinations. You can pair your safari with beach time in Zanzibar or the Seychelles, or add in extra safari regions like the Masai Mara, Laikipia, or Amboseli. We’ll help you find the right combination.
