Kenya Safari & Lamu Beach Honeymoon - 9 Nights

This trip is an 10 day safari and beach honeymoon. The safari element takes in a stay at Joy's Camp in Shaba is built on the site of Joy Adamson's tented home (co-author of 'Born Free'). The verdant oasis watering hole in front of the camp is a magnet for herds of elephant, buffalo and many guests have witnessed cheetah hunts from their tents! This reserve offer an opportunity to enjoy the Kenyan wilderness away from the crowds and provide an entirely different terrain from that you will experience in the Masai Mara. Here your stay at Cottar’s 1920’s Camp will return you to the original spirit and 'essence' of safari, reminiscent of a golden ear – an era of romance, professional guiding, adventure and elegance. In authentic white canvas tents complete with safari antiques from the 1920's you are guaranteed privacy and an abundance of wildlife. Following your safari you will make your way to the Kenyan coast and the 'barefoot luxury' of Kiwayu. The lodge offers Robinson-Crusoe-style individual cottages on miles of private tropical beach, lapped by the Indian Ocean.

Honeymoon to Tanzania and Kenya during October 2011

Kenya Review

I dont think I've ever enjoyed a holiday as much as our safari in the Masia Mara. From the short flight over the Mara plains to the fantastic and diverse game drives, it really did have it all. The quantity of animals we saw on safari blew me away, and the experience with our superb driver, Charity,...
