A Classic Safari and Beach Escape

Blending the raw, thrilling beauty of Kenya’s Masai Mara with the tranquil, sun-drenched beaches of Zanzibar for a honeymoon you'll talk about for years to come.

Immerse yourselves in some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife scenes – lions lounging in the shade, elephants roaming wide-open plains, and the drama of the wildebeest migration – before slipping into the slower rhythms of island life, where turquoise waters and powder-soft sand invite you to relax and connect with each other.

Our Kenya specialist, Otti, says:
“Unparalleled wildlife encounters in the Masai Mara followed by the idyllic beaches of Zanzibar – that for me is the perfect combination of safari adventure and beach relaxation. This honeymoon itinerary is ideal for couples who love wildlife and want to feel immersed in nature, but also want to unwind on the beach together. It’s the best of both worlds, whether you’re spotting a lion on safari or watching the sun set over the Indian Ocean. And with easy flight connections and a well-paced journey, it's an effortless and inspiring experience that doesn't compromise on comfort or quality.”

Your journey begins in Kenya’s legendary Masai Mara, where the vast savannahs come alive with some of Africa’s most spectacular wildlife. This is true big game country - from powerful lions and graceful leopards to majestic elephants and towering giraffes, all set against breathtaking landscapes that shift with the seasons. The wildebeest migration, unfolding between July and October, adds an unforgettable sense of drama and scale to the experience.

Here, you’ll dive into the classic safari rhythm: exhilarating 4x4 game drives at dawn and dusk, bush picnics under wide-open skies, guided walks that bring you closer to the land and its stories, and visits to local villages where you can connect with the people and culture. Offbeat Mara Camp is a beautifully intimate, authentic tented camp, tucked away in the quieter Mara North Conservancy. It’s a romantic sanctuary where you can feel utterly immersed in the wild, without sacrificing comfort.

As the sun dips below the horizon on your safari adventure, you’ll trade the savannah for the shores of Zanzibar - a tropical island paradise off Tanzania’s coast. At Breezes Beach Club & Spa, you’ll find the perfect balance of relaxation and understated elegance. Whether you’re swimming in warm, crystal-clear waters, wandering along endless stretches of powder-soft white sand, or unwinding in the lush gardens and spa, every moment here encourages you to slow down and savour the island’s gentle pace.

For those seeking adventure, there’s a wealth of options: snorkelling vibrant coral reefs, diving among colourful marine life, or sailing along the turquoise coastline. You can explore the vibrant culture and winding alleys of Stone Town, or head to Kizimkazi to watch wild dolphins play in their natural habitat. With its own PADI dive centre and a variety of activities on offer, Breezes is equally perfect for those craving activity or simply wanting to do nothing at all - just relax and enjoy each other’s company as newlyweds in paradise.

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.
