Luxury tented camps, bush breakfasts and candle-lit dinners for two in the Maasai Mara.
Designed for couples who want intimacy in the wild. Stay in a luxury tented camp with en-suite tents and lantern-lit dinners, enjoy private bush breakfasts and sundowners, and spend four nights in the Maasai Mara. Honeymoons and anniversaries can be celebrated with extra touches on request.
After an early breakfast you are collected from your Nairobi hotel and drive to Lake Naivasha (about 1.5 to 2 hours). Check in to your lakeside lodge for lunch, then take an afternoon boat ride on the freshwater lake among hippos, fish eagles and pelicans, with time to walk on Crescent Island among grazing giraffe and zebra.
After breakfast, travel from Lake Naivasha to Maasai Mara (about 4 to 5 hours), with a picnic lunch or lunch stop on the way. You arrive at your camp in time for lunch, then head out on your first game drive across the open plains of the Maasai Mara, home to lion, cheetah, elephant, buffalo and vast herds of zebra and wildebeest. Dinner and a night of lion calls follow.
Start with coffee at sunrise and a private breakfast set up on the plains, then a slow game drive. In the evening, a candle-lit sundowner replaces the usual camp dinner.
Leave at first light with a packed breakfast to find big cats on the open plains. Enjoy a bush picnic lunch near the hippo pools, then spend the afternoon tracking lion, cheetah, elephant and buffalo before returning at dusk.
Drive toward the Mara River, where between July and October wildebeest herds gather to cross. Outside the migration season the banks are excellent for hippo, crocodile and elephant, and the surrounding plains for lion and cheetah.
After breakfast, and one last morning game drive if time allows, you drive back to Nairobi (about 5 to 6 hours) with a lunch stop on the way. You are dropped at your hotel or at the airport; an evening flight home is recommended.
