Kenya for couples

Two conservancy camps, a private vehicle, and evenings that belong to you rather than a timetable.

Kenya for two is about the camps: small, quiet, on private conservancies where a sighting is yours and the sundowner is where the guide stops the car. We plan it so the pace is set by the two of you, not by a vehicle full of strangers.

Tell us the month and how much of the trip should be wild and how much should be slow. We draw the nights accordingly.

Where we go

A tented camp on a Mara conservancy for the big game, then a change of scene: Laikipia for walking, riding and rhino, or the Chyulu Hills for elephant with Kilimanjaro behind them. Three or four nights on the coast at Lamu or a quiet stretch of Diani close a trip that started in the dust.

How the week runs

Eight nights across two camps, with a private vehicle and guide throughout. Mornings out early, a long pause through the heat with a pool or a tent veranda, a drive into dusk and dinner by the fire. A bush breakfast, a night under the stars and a flight over the plains can be built in where they suit the camps chosen.

Who it suits and when

Honeymoons, anniversaries and couples who want a first safari without compromise. July to October for the migration; January to March for clear light and short grass; the green season for value and almost empty camps.

Best time
July to October for the migration; January to March for clear skies and fewer vehicles. April and May are green and quiet.

Questions about couples and honeymoons in Kenya

Is a honeymoon suite different?

Most camps have one or two tents set apart with a private deck or plunge pool. We ask for them when the dates are right and say honestly when they are taken.

Is there a planning fee?

No. The first conversation and the proposal are free. You pay when you accept the plan.

Is this a live booking?

No. It is a starting point. A specialist writes a private proposal and availability is confirmed then.
