HONEYMOONS
IN KENYA
We
do recognise the importance of your honeymoon and are
very experienced in preparing wonderful romantic honeymoons in
Kenya.
A
Kenya honeymoon offers the excitement of going on safari and
the pleasures of lying on the shores of the Indian Ocean. You
can experience the romance of being on honeymoon in the African
bush at night being under that huge African night sky with the
sounds of the bush around you and a camp fire burning in front,
bringing light and warmth - it cannot be surpassed for its magic
and beauty. Many
comment that Kenya can be crowded and yes that may be true for
those who do not know those wonderful areas rich in game but
not in people, those areas ideally suited for a honeymoon. Talk
to us about your requirements and if it is available we will
provide it.
After
your safari you can head off to the coast to stay in some wonderful
hotels or small beach properties or maybe fly to somewhere more
exotic such as the islands of Lamu or Zanzibar, they are
all available to you when taking a honeymoon in Kenya. Indeed
for those who wish to extend themselves then the Seychelles or
Mauritius are beautiful tropical islands in the Indian Ocean
with wonderful sandy beaches are only a few
hours flying time away from Nairobi.
A
couple of broad points though to take into consideration.
- First,
please note during April and May when the weather cannot be guaranteed.
It is the rainy season and many of the smaller more romantic
properties both in the bush and on the beach do close for part
of this time.
- If
you haven’t been on safari before don't be put off by
the idea of staying in tents,
they can be large and roomy with en suite
private facilitiesand proper full size beds, but there are
also some wonderful solid built alternatives should you wish
to stay in them instead. For those wanting a short safari
before or after time on the beach we would recommend visiting
the Masai Mara, ideally at least for three nights. However
if you wish to extend your time on safari then consider Amboseli
or Tasvo or even the tranquility of the Lakes. Just
give us a call and one of our safari consultants will be
very pleased to discuss some ideas woth you.
- Please
consider too what your budget is. The
range in price for the various properties on safari is quite
considerable from about US$350 or £206
per person per night up to US$790 or £465 per person per
night while the cost of staying in a hotel by the beach is very
much less. The safari costs do include most things except
personal expenditure like your drinks bill and laundry, the local
costs are not high when in Kenya. We find the average
local expenditure tends to be no more than £200 per
couple unless of course you buy lots of presents to bring
back with you. You
will find the cost of somewhere is not a reflection of whether
it is tented accommodation or brick built, it is a reflection
of the experience you will have while staying there. Those smaller
properties which offer a more personalised service, and those
with higher standards of guides, tend to be more expensive, like
anywhere in the world those who are excellent at their job of
work tend to be paid more than those who are not so excellent.
We do though ensure you have good value for money wherever you
stay.

outline below are a few itinerary summaries with links

which can be prepared for you.
