Kenya Honeymoons

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.

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.

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.

Yes – and we highly recommend it. One of the best things about a Kenya honeymoon is how easy it is to pair safari with a beach break. After your safari, you can fly direct to the Kenyan coast (Diani, Watamu, or Lamu) or you can fly direct to the island of Zanzibar or even Mauritius.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
