ABOUT THIS SAFARI
About This Kenya Zanzibar Honeymoon
A Kenya Zanzibar honeymoon gives you the two halves of East Africa in one trip. The first week is a private safari: Amboseli for its elephant herds and the view of Kilimanjaro, a boat on Lake Naivasha, rhino and flamingo at Lake Nakuru, then two nights in the Masai Mara.
The second week slows right down. A short flight takes you to Zanzibar, where the plan is deliberately light: a morning in Stone Town and on Prison Island with its giant tortoises, a day at sea on a traditional dhow with snorkelling and a sandbank lunch, and then two days with nothing on the schedule at all.
Because it is your honeymoon, the vehicle and guide are yours alone for the whole safari, and we choose rooms with a view wherever the lodge allows. Tell us your dates and we will suggest the best order for the season, including switching Amboseli and the Mara if the migration is in.
