A safari honeymoon showcasing 3 of Kenya’s wildlife regions, Meru National Park, the Laikipia Plateau and the world-famous Maasai Mara. The scenery changes will be dramatic, the wildlife offering astounding and the accommodation, unashamedly romantic. Elsa’s Kopje Lodge in Meru National Park is considered one of the most spectacular locations and lodge designs in Africa. The guides have the whole park to themselves and will show you plentiful lion, cheetah, leopard, elephant and rhino as well as other wildlife.
The exclusivity continues at Loisaba Tented Camp, designed to capitalize on unhindered views across Laikipia's mottled landscape all the way to Mt Kenya. Aside from day and night game drives, other activities include horse-riding, camel-trekking, guided bush walks, fishing, mountain biking, cultural visits to Samburu villages and visits to the anti-poaching sniffer dogs. Then, get a bird’s eye view of Kenya’s sweeping landscapes as you fly by light aircraft into the Maasai Mara Reserve, staying at Sand River Maasai Mara Camp. The area is best known for its large concentrations of big cats, such as leopard, cheetah and, of course, lion. Even the dramatic arrival of the Annual Wildebeest Migration (July – October) merely adds to an already abundant resident wildlife that awaits discovery.
