Wild Encounters and Coastal Bliss

Blending Kenya’s rich wildlife and sweeping savannahs with sun-drenched days on the coast, this itinerary is full of contrast, connection, and moments you’ll always remember.

Designed to be varied, romantic, and packed with amazing experiences, without ever feeling rushed, this honeymoon brings together two of Kenya’s greatest gifts – its incredible wildlife and idyllic coastline – for an adventure that has the perfect balance of excitement and relaxation.

Our Kenya specialist, Otti, says:

“When considering what to do for a honeymoon, few combinations of experiences offer the sense of adventure, romance and luxury than a trip to see Africa’s unique wildlife followed by time on its idyllic white sand beaches – and Kenya is one of the best destinations to do it. This honeymoon itinerary is absolutely perfect for couples who love wildlife, but also want a luxury beach experience, with plenty of opportunity unwind from the big day!”

Your first night in Nairobi is deliberately easygoing – a short transfer from the airport to a relaxed hotel, giving you time to adjust before flying north to Samburu. With its dramatic scenery, red earth, and elephant herds, Samburu is wilder and more rugged than other reserves, offering a real sense of place and space. At Saruni Samburu, you’ll stay in an elegant villa with vast views, spending your days on game drives, visiting rock art sites, and walking with guides to learn about the land and its people.

Next, you’ll fly south to the Mara North Conservancy, part of the iconic Masai Mara ecosystem. This is big cat country, where lions, leopards, and cheetahs roam freely, and the wildlife viewing is among the best in Africa. Staying at Saruni Mara, you’ll enjoy exceptional guiding and quiet surroundings, with the option to visit the main reserve during the Great Migration season or explore a local rhino sanctuary. For something extra special, take to the skies in a hot air balloon for a sunrise flight over the plains.

From here, it’s on to Diani Beach – a stretch of coast known for its soft white sand and warm turquoise waters. At Sands at Nomad, you’ll have five nights to relax by the pool, stroll along the beach, or simply do nothing at all. If you're feeling active, the resort offers snorkelling, diving, sailing, and watersports. Otherwise, enjoy fresh seafood, sip cocktails under the stars, and soak up the coastal calm.

This is a honeymoon full of character, with wild excitement and total serenity, seamlessly arranged so all you have to do is relax and enjoy celebrating your new chapter together.

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.

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.

March

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
