Top 5 camps in Kenya for honeymooners

Featuring some of the world’s best safari viewing, along with some of the world’s most pristine white beaches, it's no wonder that a Kenya honeymoon rarely struggles to deliver what romantic couples are looking for. Although Africa’s mesmerizing sunsets, the cosy campfire evenings and the private candlelit dinners are undeniably romantic, there are a couple of camps across Kenya that really go out of their way for romance...

Ol Seki Hemingways Mara

Ol Seki Hemingways

Located in the heart of the Naboisho conservancy in the Masai Mara and renowned for its seclusion, stunning rooms and honeymoon offers, this camp is often nicknamed ‘Ol Sexy’. On top of attentive service and attention to detail, the staff at Ol Seki will go out of their way to meet the most romantic of requests – they’ve helped organise special proposals, private champagne breakfasts in the bush, hot air balloon rides over the plains of the Mara, candlelit dinners and decorated rose-petal rooms… you name it!

Loisaba Starbeds

Loisaba Starbeds, Kenya

Sat on top of a rocky kopje in the northern area of the Laikipia Plateau, the starbeds of Loisaba are an incredibly romantic way to sleep in the bush. You and your other half will get your own hand-crafted, four-poster bed that is wheeled out (by your very own Samburu Warrior) under the stars. The lodge also has a cosy lounge and dining area, dominated by a roaring fire and a selection of sundowners to end the day perfectly. More...

Naibor Camp

Naibor Camp

Not only is this camp positioned in the heart of the Masai Mara Reserve and in a prime location for year-round wildlife, but it also boasts secluded and romantic accommodation, perfect for couples and honeymooners! Although the seven tents feature comfortable and luxury accommodation, for me, the real beauty of this camp is that it has an real, earthy safari ambiance. Hot safari bucket showers, beers and nibbles around the campfire and candlelit communal dinners are only a few of the things that make Naibor Camp so popular for honeymoons in Kenya. More...

Sasaab

Sasaab, Kenya

It’s hard to fault anything at all about Sasaab and the level of luxury that it homes. The property, which sits outside of Samburu National Reserve, has nine luxury tents that each have enormous open-air bathrooms, a plunge pool and a large veranda overlooking the Ewaso Nyrio River where herds of elephants often come to bathe. Sundowners on rocky kopjes, romantic couple massages, private dinners by the plunge pool, champagne breakfasts in the bush… all of the these and many more can be arranged to make the stay at Sasaab even more unforgettable on a Kenya honeymoon.

Richard's River Camp

Richard's River Camp, Kenya

A final mention goes to Richard’s Camp that sits on the banks of the Njageteck River in the Mara North conservancy. This camp has seven luxury tents that are spread along the banks of the river, and atmosphere in the camp is a very relaxed and peaceful one for a Kenya honeymoon. Designed by Richard’s partner Liz, the interior of the tents and the mess tent is truly beautiful – with subtle tones and furnishings and delicate features. More...
