Trip Itinerary
Days 1 - 4: Masai Mara
Day 1 - Arrive in Nairobi & fly to the Masai Mara
We offer a ‘meet and greet’ service on all our luxury Kenya holidays. As soon as you arrive, you are met by a Wayfairer representative and escorted through immigration, customs and baggage collection. Your driver will then transfer you to Wilson Airport, where you’ll board a light aircraft flight to the beautiful plains of the Masai Mara.
Upon arrival to the Masai Mara you will be met by a representative and driven to your Leopard Hill Camp, enjoying an introductory game drive en-route.
Discover effortless luxury at Leopard Hill Camp, an elegant stay which celebrates the purity of the Kenya wilderness. Perhaps spend the evening by the campfire, absorbing the gentle hum of nature which so lovingly characterizes the Masai Mara.
Days 2-4 - Safari in the Masai Mara
Your Kenya safari trip has officially begun, as each refreshing morning at Leopard Hill Camp offers awe-inspiring game drives across the Masai Mara. Friendly local guides transport you from your luxury safari camp through one of the best places to visit in Kenya for wildlife spotting.
Get out your safari checklist and be prepared to encounter lions, leopards and cheetah as they bathe in Kenya’s beating sun, zebra, impala, wildebeest, elephants and even crocodiles along the riverbanks! Recount your daily sightings over a private meal with your loved one, ahead of a sky washed with apricot hues, or enjoy a communal meal with fellow wildlife enthusiasts.
We encourage you to enhance your honeymoon itinerary with activities, like cultural visits to Masai villages, safaris on horseback or even black rhino tracking. Perhaps the camp’s sunrise hot air balloon experience appeals to your bolder side (or maybe it’s the champagne that goes with it!)
Days 5 - 11: Zanzibar
Day 5 - Fly to Zanzibar & transfer to Baraza Resort
This morning you’ll have time to wave goodbye to your Kenya safari trip with a final game drive, before an afternoon flight to Nairobi. When you land in Nairobi, you’ll be met and driven to the international airport for your evening flight to Zanzibar.
Upon arrival at the airport you’ll be met by a representative and driven to Baraza Resort & Spa, one of the best hotels in Zanzibar, where you will stay for the next seven nights in an Ocean-Front Villa.
You are greeted by the Swahili-inspired exterior of your Zanzibar beach resort and the immaculate, tropical scenes which encase it. A celebrity-style, all-inclusive stay awaits you and your partner, accentuated by cultural immersion and lazy afternoons at the pool-side. A week of perfection is at your feet.
Days 6 to 11 - Explore Zanzibar
Today you can relax and enjoy your first full day in tropical paradise. Spend your time lounging on the soft sands of the best beaches in Zanzibar, whilst cocktails are brought to your sun lounger by amenable butlers. To pair with the excellent facilities at Baraza Resort & Spa, historic towns and culturally rich islands anticipate you on an insightful Zanzibar tour.
Visit Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a former spice trading port. The town homes a melting pot of cultural influences found in its architecture and cuisine. Explore its winding alleyways filled with colorful bazaars, before stopping at evocative historic landmarks, like the Portuguese Fort and the Old Slave Market.
You can also visit Prison Island, Mnarani Turtle Sanctuary, and Jozani Forest which is home to the adorable Red Colobus Monkey. Exhilarating reef and dolphin safaris are to be had amidst the enticing coastal waters of Zanzibar. Or, if you wish to keep your feet on the ground, perhaps a cultural tour of the local villages.
There are endless possibilities on this exciting East African island.
Day 12: Depart from Zanzibar
Day 12 - Depart from Zanzibar
After breakfast, you’ll check-out of your luxury beach resort and will be driven to the airport for your bittersweet flight home.
You'll be leaving with many unique, blissful memories and a special connection to East Africa. Your Kenya Zanzibar Honeymoon is one filled with stories to pass down generations.
We're sure this will be just the first of many amazing holidays together as a married couple. Where you will you explore next?

During your honeymoon in Kenya, you will be visiting the private conservancies outside the main Masai Mara Reserve. These conservancies have had huge success in working with the local Maasai, providing a more personal safari experience and managing the conflict between humans and wildlife.
In wildlife conservation areas, we work exclusively with selected camps and lodges which honor a commitment to the conservation of their local communities and environments.
With our carefully curated choices of local suppliers and luxury accommodation, we ensure your safari is dedicated to environmental sustainability and community responsibility in Kenya.
