A twin center holiday that is hard to beat

Iconic wildlife safari followed by a week on the Indian ocean beach means honeymoon bliss

Just four nights after your wedding and within just a few hours of leaving London, you’ll be in the heart of the Masai Mara, Kenya’s most loved wildlife safari location.

From the moment you set eyes on the great plains landscape flying in, you will be in awe at the sheer scale of the infamous wildebeest and zebra migration activity. Game viewing doesn’t get much more dramatic and exciting than this, with big cats and crocodiles attracted by the bountiful food supply! For your first safari, you really are hitting Africa’s sweet spot! Staying at Kilima Camp’s luxury tented private camp with a huge selection of activities for four nights, you’ll gain a true understanding of the Mara ecosystem from your professional guide and tracker.

A short flight out of the Masai Mara back to Nairobi for your afternoon connection to Zanzibar island takes you to some serious R&R - much needed after your wedding and safari! A one-hour 20-minute transfer, and you’ll have your toes in pearly white Indian Ocean sands at Breezes Beach Club and Spa. You’ll stay in this little piece of paradise for seven nights, soaking in the sunshine and the beautiful wedding you’ve just had. This honeymoon combines the bush and beach with a focus on wildlife and coastal sunshine.


Trip Itinerary

Day 1 2nd Oct

Day 2 3rd Oct

Staying at Kilima Camp

On arrival into Nairobi’s International airport in the early hours of the morning, you’ll be greeted by a driver who will transfer you to Nairobi’s smaller internal Wilson airport for your flight to the Masai Mara. This scenic flight takes approximately one hour where you’ll look out the plane windows at the unspoilt wilderness of the open plains below, filling you all with awe before you even step foot in the National Park in the Great Rift Valley.

Upon arrival at your Masai Mara airstrip, you’ll be met by a Kilima Camp guide who will transfer you to your home for the next four nights – this is where the safari fun begins. Drive through the open plains to your camp, amongst potentially millions of wildebeest and zebra, giving the Masai Mara its wildlife-related fame worldwide.

Kilima means “mountain or little hill in Swahili” and is found on the western border of the Masai Mara National Reserve, on a private concession, meaning you can explore the landscape on foot, by car or even by horse. The staff can even arrange a special night game drive! Kilima Camp is a luxurious private tented camp, meaning your tent has wooden floors, warm tones to the fabrics and furniture, a private veranda with views over the plains and Mara River.

January

January is a great time for wildlife viewing. The landscapes are lush and green after the 'short rains' and newborn animals can been seen. It is hot, but brief afternoon or evening showers cool things down, without compromising your safari. Over on the coast the sea is clear, making it ideal for diving and snorkelling, and the days are warm and bright.

Expand

February

February is an ideal time to visit Kenya, and great for game viewing. The landscapes are green and thriving thanks to the short rains, and newborn animals will be hopping around the plains. There maybe a few afternoon showers which are welcome in the heat, and don't impact on wildlife viewing. Water clarify is excellent at the moment, which is good news for watersports enthusiasts. And if you want to spot a whale shark, now is the time to try.

Expand

March

Still a good option for wildlife viewing and diving, although with the 'long rains' just around the corner, expect wetter and hotter weather.

Expand

April

April brings the start of the 'long rains' which means game reserves and national parks become muddy and harder to drive around. Over on the coast it's hot and wet, so it isn't the best time of year to travel. Some camps and lodges close during this period.

Expand

May

The 'long rains' continue into May, making park tracks difficult to navigate in the mud, and the coast very warm and wet. There will be less accommodation choice at this time as several lodges and camps during this period.

Expand

June

June is a beautiful time of year to visit Kenya, with the rains receding to just light showers, and the long dry season not far ahead. The high grasses can sometimes make it more of a challenge to spot game, but the landscapes are lush and some animals may begin arriving early for the migration. At altitude nights can be cool, but elsewhere the temperature is pleasant.

Expand

July

July marks the beginning of the great migration into the Masai Mara, and with warm and generally dry weather, this is a great time of year to visit. Days are sunny, skies are blue and there isn't too much dust around, so it's a great time for photography.

Expand

August

The migration is now in full swing in the Masai Mara, with lots of river crossing action, so if you want to see those massive herds of wildebeest and zebra, now is the time to come. Game viewing in general is excellent and it's one of the most popular times of year to visit, so some of the main parks do become crowded. Temperatures are warm and dry.

Expand

September

Game viewing continues to be excellent, and the weather is generally dry so this is another ideal month to visit Kenya's parks. The bush is less dense and as animals gather around waterholes and rivers it makes wildlife spotting much easier.

Expand

October

October is a great time if you want to avoid the crowds and don't mind the temperature slowly starting to rise. There may be a few short showers, but game viewing remains excellent with the end of the migration, and it's a good time to holiday anywhere in Kenya.

Expand

November

November heralds the start of the 'short rains' and with hotter temperatures some camps are closed. The Mara however is still open, and despite sometimes stormy skies, game viewing is still good. Fewer crowds and lower prices make this an attractive month to visit. Over on the coast water clarify is good for snorkelling and diving.

Expand

December

The 'short rains' are bringing the landscapes back to life, and as the plains start to become green again, wildlife viewing remains good, and it's a great time for birding. Some camps are closed (mainly in the north of Kenya) but many others remain open. The showers tend to fall in the afternoons and don't impact greatly on a safari. Take advantage of reduced visitor numbers and lower prices.
