Mara Honeymoon
A private-conservancy honeymoon — your own tented suite with a plunge pool, candlelit bush dinners, a dawn balloon over the plains, and not another vehicle in sight.
4 days · 3 nights · Good year-round
About this experience
For the trip that has to be perfect. We base you in a private conservancy bordering the Maasai Mara, where vehicle numbers are capped and off-road driving and night drives are allowed — so your sightings are intimate and uncrowded. The suite is all yours: private deck, plunge pool, outdoor shower under the stars. Expect a champagne balloon breakfast, a surprise bush dinner, and a guide who quietly makes everything seamless.

Signature experiences
Optional extras we can add to this trip. Prices are per person and confirmed when you book.
Lift off at dawn over the plains, drift silently above the herds, and land to a champagne bush breakfast. The definitive Mara morning.
Spend an hour in a working manyatta — the jumping dance, fire-making, and a look at daily Maasai life, hosted by the community itself.
A lantern-lit table set out under the stars, your own chef and a crackling fire — the safari dinner people remember for years.
After dark on a private conservancy, a spotlight picks out leopard, aardvark, bushbaby and the animals you never see by day.
Day by day
What each day looks like, from pickup in Nairobi to drop-off.
Light-aircraft flight from Nairobi, met with a cold towel and champagne. Settle into your suite, then a private sundowner drive ending at a fire-lit spot on the plains — just the two of you and your guide.
Float over the Mara at sunrise, landing to a full champagne breakfast in the bush. Back to the suite for the plunge pool and a spa treatment. Optional late-afternoon drive.
Off-road in the conservancy for unhurried, exclusive big-cat sightings. After dark, a night drive for the rarely-seen nocturnal animals. Dinner is set up privately under the stars — lanterns, a Maasai choir, the works.
A last slow morning drive (or a lie-in — your call), brunch, then the flight back to Nairobi.

Common questions
Why a private conservancy instead of the main reserve?+
Conservancies bordering the Mara cap vehicle numbers and permit off-road and night driving, which the national reserve does not. The result is intimate, uncrowded sightings — you'll often have a leopard entirely to yourselves. Perfect for a honeymoon.
Is the balloon safari really included?+
Yes — a sunrise hot-air balloon flight with a champagne bush breakfast on landing is built into this package. It's the honeymoon photograph everyone wants.
Can you arrange a special surprise?+
Absolutely. Private dinners, rose-petal turndowns, a vow renewal with a Maasai blessing, a photographer for a morning — tell us the moment you want and we'll make it happen discreetly.
