Kenya is probably the most effective honeymoon destination if you don’t feel like the crowds at Saint-Étienne or you haven’t ever tried understanding French. Kenya offers experiences beyond your expectations, and maybe the good part is most visitor’s picture poor infrastructure and average accommodation options contrary to the surprises that awaits on arrival. Well, what really awaits newly weds or planning an African bush wedding is a superb cultural experience that respects and values marriages, wildlife spa resorts with world class service expectations, private honeymoon suites, uncrowned tropical beaches and island. A private yacht, a private charter flight or a chopper can all be easily done. When requesting for a honeymoon package regardless of the budget and time frame, see to it that the program includes not to be missed breathtaking countryside, landscapes and cultural experience, wildlife safaris, a champagne breakfast balloon safari over the rolling masai Mara game reserve is one unforgettable treat and finally the sandy beach and islands is a must go. Amazingly, almost all the safari lodges and luxury camps in Kenya will have a specially laid out honeymoon suite and family rooms that remain unoccupied till the next booking. When a couple arrive in any of the game lodges and camps, word goes round and the staff will always make it their business to make the stay the most romantic African experience of your life. They set out a candle lit dinner or take you out on a lush bush, imagine a white cloth table, silver cutlery, wine, and a five star meal for two set on a view point overlooking the masai mara plains, No big deal, they’ve done this many times over. To your surprise the camp staff has a way appreciating you and will come round with a cake, wine and flowers singing to celebrate you, you almost feel like it’s your weeding day all over. The Masai warrior dances with lit touches is your dinner entertainment. Oh, that’s your security too. The arrangements are so very well co-coordinated the one thing you are not to do is forget your camera. Facilities in the luxury exclusive tents include butler service, classic elegance with highly polished floors, and crisp linen clad, wooden-framed beds cooled by the rhythm of ceiling fans. Glass walled showers, twin hand basins and a separate flush w.c are en suite with forest views. Some come with a private small swimming pool overlooking the plains and beyond. This will make you feel like just sitting back and enjoying the Africa sounds. Most units will come with a dramatic backdrop, exceptional standards of service from the warm, treasure-trove of beautiful antiques, books and memorabilia reflecting the ambience of and original 20s and 30s safari setting. A Private verandah and a hammock which sometimes doubles as a private dinning option. Private guided cultural or nature walks are a good way to stretch your legs if you feel you’ve been over pampered. On arrival in the capital city of Nairobi it’s always good to stay in for a night especially after that long haul flight. Accommodation in Nairobi ranges from 5 star world class hotels to small and private ones. The distance to the nature reserves is usually less that 4 hours and there is always the option of taking the scheduled flights that services almost all the reserves in Kenya. The coast is where you refresh again, forget your shoes buy a colorful ‘Kikoy’ and enjoy a peaceful haven away. Lamu Island is a favorite to many, rent a private catered house or take the self-catering option and buy fresh fish and vegetables from the venders, then lay back the whole day on the roof top deck, make sure you remain there for the sun set its one of the most beautiful site. Swim with dolphins, take a traditional dhow across the channel, scuba dive, visit the old town and get a bargain on the suveniuors and walk. After your five or six nights in Lamu, you can now fetch your shoes and take a 30 minutes flight to Diani beach. Here the pace is a notch higher. Night life, optional exotic restaurants and maybe a massage will revive back your senses. Regardless of your budget, the options are all laid out. The two or three weeks vacation is one bunch of treasured memorable experience, rest assured you can never go wrong. Henry Kahuki is an online Africa safaris consultant based in Kenya.
