Sun & Beach

To celebrate the love that the two of you share spending time at the beach is a perfect idea. The pristine white sand beaches and deep blue waters in Kenya will bind you to each other and make beautiful memories. Exploring one of the best beach destinations in Africa is a must, Diani Beach is a major beach on the Indian Ocean coast of Kenya. 30 kilometers south of Mombasa is popular for surfing and if you are looking for something exotic, Diani is the answer. Another beach worth a visit is Watamu, which is known for holding some popular attractions, including Gede Ruins. When in Africa on a honeymoon “bush & beach” is what the newlyweds should do. It basically refers to safari and sun-lounger time. Seychelles, located south of the equator is a blissful place to find sunshine and relax at the right temperature.

Wildlife

Here comes Masai mara, you can cover so much in this region that most honeymooners are even aware of. Preserved savannah wilderness in southwestern Kenya, Masai Mara is the most famous and luxurious wildlife conservation in Africa, world-renowned for its exceptional populations of lion, African leopard, cheetah, and African bush elephant. A safari ride in the wild to spot everything from elephant to giraffe to oryx, gazelle, and zebra will make your trip interesting and exciting. For more nature and wildlife experience, you can visit the most abundant wildlife wonderlands in Lewa Downs, a small but mighty area that packs a punch with both black and white rhinos and more animals. A safari in Maasai Mara and a once-in-a-lifetime excursion with a romantic hot air balloon ride to witness the beauty of the Maasai Mara—and get an overhead view of all of its residents, from elephant families to water buffalo is something you should not miss. A relaxing picnic in the middle of a park at the Nairobi Safari Walk also seems to be interesting.
