Kenya Honeymoon Safari

Begin your safari adventure with a scenic drive from Nairobi through the fertile highlands, passing the historic town of Nyeri. Your destination is the iconic Ark Lodge, an architectural marvel set deep in the mountain forests of Aberdare.

Evening Highlight: Experience the unique thrill of nighttime game viewing from your elevated position as elephants, buffalos, and even elusive leopards visit the floodlit waterhole below. The lodge's innovative buzzer system ensures you won't miss any spectacular wildlife appearances during the night.

Venturing north, these two days immerse you in the rugged beauty of Samburu National Reserve. This striking landscape hosts some of Africa's most unique wildlife species. Here, you'll encounter the famous "Samburu Special Five" – the elegantly patterned reticulated giraffe, the distinguished Grevy's zebra, the proud Beisa oryx, the peculiar gerenuk (also known as the giraffe gazelle), and the striking blue-necked Somali ostrich. Your home at Ashnil Samburu Lodge provides luxury accommodations alongside the life-giving Ewaso Nyiro River.

Your journey takes you into the heart of the Great Rift Valley to Lake Elementaita, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This alkaline lake, framed by towering cliffs, offers exceptional bird watching opportunities and the chance to explore natural hot springs. The surrounding landscape provides perfect conditions for walking safaris, where you can stretch your legs while learning about the area's unique geology and wildlife.

Today presents one of Africa's most memorable sights – thousands of flamingos creating a stunning pink carpet across Lake Nakuru's surface. Beyond the flamingos, the park is a sanctuary for both black and white rhinos, and you might spot the unusual sight of tree-climbing lions. The elevated position of Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge offers breathtaking sunset views over this wildlife paradise.

Your safari reaches its crescendo in the Masai Mara, where you'll spend two full days exploring Kenya's most renowned reserve. Early morning game drives offer the best chances to witness dramatic predator hunts, while afternoon excursions reveal the full splendor of the African savannah. During migration season (July to October), witness the spectacular wildebeest migration. Your comfortable base at Mara Sopa Lodge provides traditional African luxury with modern amenities.

Your final morning in the Mara provides one last chance to absorb the magic of the African wilderness before returning to Nairobi. This carefully crafted journey showcases the diverse ecosystems and wildlife of Kenya, from the mountain forests to the open savannahs, creating an unforgettable African safari experience.
