Maasai Mara · 4 days · 3 nights · Good year-round
Mara Honeymoon
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.
From $5,200 per person

Where you'll stay
Lodging varies by trip — tented camp, safari lodge, beach hotel, or city hotel as your package requires. The property for this package is confirmed in writing after you book — ask us on WhatsApp if you want options before paying.
Included in your package price — exact camp, lodge, or hotel confirmed after booking.
Indicative schedule — day by day
Planned rhythm for your trip — your guide may adjust on the day for conditions, light and wildlife.
Day 1: Fly in, sundowner for two
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.
Day 2: Balloon at dawn, slow afternoon
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.
Day 3: Big cats & a private bush dinner
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.
Day 4: Final drive, fly out
A last slow morning drive (or a lie-in — your call), brunch, then the flight back to Nairobi.

Preparation & packing
Before you go
- This section is general Kenya travel guidance — not a substitute for official advice or your doctor.
- We confirm trip-specific details (property, pickup times, park rules) with you on WhatsApp before departure.
- Questions about Mara Honeymoon? Message us anytime — we'd rather you ask than guess.
Visa & entry
- Most visitors need a Kenya eVisa before travel — apply at evisa.go.ke and check current fees and rules.
- Passport usually needs 6+ months' validity and blank pages — verify with your airline and immigration.
- Keep a printed copy of this itinerary and your eVisa for border control.
Health
- Yellow fever certificate may be required depending on where you are travelling from — check Kenya's latest entry rules.
- Malaria prevention is commonly recommended for safari areas — ask your doctor well before you fly.
- Travel insurance with medical evacuation cover is strongly recommended.
- Bring personal medication in original packaging.
Weather & clothing
- Safari mornings and evenings are often cooler than midday — layers work better than one heavy coat.
- Neutral colours (khaki, olive, beige) are standard for game drives.
- Rain can appear in any season — a light waterproof layer is worth packing.
- We send a short weather note for your dates once your trip is confirmed.
Packing list
- Comfortable closed shoes for walking + sandals for camp or lodge
- Sun hat, sunscreen, sunglasses
- Binoculars if you have a pair (optional — ask us if you'd like a recommendation)
- Power bank + travel adaptor (Kenya commonly uses Type G plugs, 240V)
- Soft bag often works better than a hard suitcase if your trip includes light-aircraft legs — we'll confirm luggage limits for your routing
- Some cash in USD (clean, newer bills) or KES for tips and small purchases
- Insect repellent
Money & connectivity
- Cards work in Nairobi and at many properties; cash is still useful for tips and markets.
- M-Pesa is widely used in Kenya — we can walk you through it on arrival if helpful.
- Wi‑Fi varies by property (lodge, camp, or hotel) — signal on game drives is usually limited.
- Tipping customs vary by property and guide — we share current guidelines for your trip before you travel.
