Overview

This is the classic bush-and-beach honeymoon. The safari comes first, flying between Nairobi, Amboseli and a private conservancy in the Masai Mara so there are no long road days, and the beach follows, where you can finally slow down.

The safari includes a balloon flight, a bush dinner and a blessing at a Maasai village. At Diani, four unscheduled days on white sand, with a sunset dhow cruise and optional dolphin and spa days.

Highlights

  • Giraffe feeding and the Sheldrick orphan elephants in Nairobi
  • Amboseli elephants and Kilimanjaro, with a private sundowner
  • Sunrise balloon flight over the Mara, a bush dinner and a guided walk
  • Direct flight from the Mara to Diani
  • Four days on Diani Beach with a sunset dhow cruise
