This was the best safari honeymoon we could have asked for.

This was the best safari honeymoon we could have asked for. Booking was easy and the adventure started from the moment they picked us up from the airplane and drove back to camp, viewing animals along the way. There were tons of animals - we saw pretty much everything you can think of - and tons of baby animals too! And we only saw one other vehicle the entire time we were on the conservancy. Our guides Ken and George were super knowledgeable, sharing with us scientific facts as well as masai cultural information and beliefs. Jimmy, the manager, is also excellent in his role and a great human - be sure to have a chat with him if you go. Our steward Dennis and the rest of the staff treated us great (special thanks for the hot water bottles in bed at night) and the food was delicious and included many vegetables which is always a concern for us when traveling somewhere new. 12/10 would recommend porini giraffe.
A honeymoon to remember!

From the moment we were picked up from the 4 points sheraton to our drop off at Nairobi airport - our honeymoon was flawless. Game watchers safari planned each detail perfectly. We stayed at Porini Lion Camp for 4 amazing days of safari (lots of big cats!!!) and 4 beautiful days at Msambweni Beach House for Maldives Level Luxury. We also had a free afternoon in Nairobi and our driver Boyd took us to all the best spots. We hope to travel with Gamewatchers again very soon!
AMAZING experience with the best posible team

My husband and I where planning our honeymoon trip and spent weeks looking online for the best safari options in Kenya, when a friend of mine recommended Gamewatchers. We had both been to Africa before and gone on safaris but never to a Conservancy, so we didn’t know what to expect. We ended up choosing Amboseli and Lion Camp in the Mara and we could not have made a better decision. The Porini camps are amazing, the guides are extremely knowledgeable and friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to make your experience an unforgettable one and the entire staff at the camps goes beyond everything to make for a perfect vacation. Being in a Conservancy is also something unforgettable, the knowledge the guides have of the terrains and the liberty to move around them changes the experience tenfold and makes it an amazing one. I would recommend Gamewatchers to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Kenya.
Special Honeymoon at Porini Mara Camp
AK
The accommodation was beautiful and comfortable, it's a stunning camp. The food was great and there was plenty available and good variety. The wildlife viewing was unbelievable, we couldn't tell if we were just lucky, but there was nothing we didn't see! Our guides Stanley and Dalton were incredible, so friendly and knowledgeable, and funny! Them and the staff at the camp made it such a special experience. Highlights - Other than all the wildlife we saw (including a rare sighting of a leopard and her cub!), the hospitality and service from all the staff/guides was incredible. Special thanks to Joseph! We felt very spoilt. We especially enjoyed the cake and dance we got to celebrate our honeymoon! The bottle of prosecco was also a lovely gift. Every person we met who worked for Porini made it a tailored and special experience for us - from being picked up to be taken to the airport and thereafter. Everyone was lovely.

There’s no better wedding celebration than a honeymoon safari in Kenya.

There are few experiences in life more exclusive, romantic or meaningful than observing nature’s most magnificent animals at sunrise or under the starry skies of Kenya’s hinterland. Especially at your own pace, on your own terms, and with very few other people about.

A special honeymoon also shouldn’t feel like ‘just another holiday’. A honeymoon is infact a celebration of — and meditation on — a new life being declared, between you and your newlywed partner. It should be authentic and create memories you’ll talk about forever. And it should be something you’re guaranteed to enjoy.

If you agree with these sentiments, you will love a honeymoon safari in Kenya. And while we are able to offer a bespoke honeymoon package built around your dreams, we are particularly proud of our Porini Camps & Cottages. Of which we have eight deep in the heartlands of Kenya, on vast private conservancies away from the crowds.

Our Porini Camps represent the ultimate luxury Kenyan honeymoon.

With zero crowds and no mass tourism, our Porini Camps are all located in areas teeming with wildlife, where the animals are free to roam undisturbed — maximising your chances of a sighting. 

A private, intimate setting that’s ideal for a honeymoon in Kenya is built into the experience:

Luxury Honeymoons in Kenya: Your Safari Experience Options

As Seen In

Celebrated by global publications for our commitment to wildlife and communities.

We’ve helped newlyweds find their dream holiday in Kenya for 30+ years.

Whatever type of Kenyan safari holiday you’re looking for, we can make it happen. If you’d like to combine our Porini Camp experience with another safari or location in Kenya, we can do that too. 

If you have a specific interest (photographic safaris, migration, etc.), or anything else that doesn’t involve our Porini Camps, that’s no problem. 

Or if a lodge in a national park is more what you’re looking for, we will be glad to talk you through all the options.

Whatever your dream honeymoon is, we can make those dreams a reality. Contact a specialist in your region today and we’ll get to work building a completely bespoke honeymoon experience for you.

…And we can arrange the perfect beach holiday, before or after your safari.

Fancy a honeymoon in Kenya and the Seychelles? We can make it happen.

In fact, there are plenty of places to relax on a beach in this part of the world. Kenya has stunning coastal regions with long, white sandy beaches. So does much of the eastern seaboard of continental Africa. And, of course, there are those tropical gems in the Indian Ocean: the Seychelles, Mauritius, Madagascar, Zanzibar and so on.

A beach add-on is the perfect complement to your honeymoon, offering relaxation, reflection and romance.

FAQs — Honeymoon Packages in Kenya

Is Kenya safe for a honeymoon?

Yes. Kenya is very safe. Read our Kenyan travel information guide for security, health, insurance, advice and everything else.

If you have more questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of our specialists.

Why is Kenya especially good for honeymoon safaris?

Kenya offers extraordinary wildlife year-round, but what makes it ideal for honeymoons is the conservancy model that we helped to pioneer. Staying in our Porini Camps on private wildlife conservancies rather than busy national parks allows couples to enjoy:

  • Fewer vehicles and far fewer people. 
  • Flexible game drives, including early mornings and evenings. 
  • A sense of exclusivity and privacy that simply isn’t possible in mass-market safari areas. 

With small, low-impact camps located in vast conservancies, honeymooners experience Kenya at its most peaceful, authentic and romantic.

You can then add on a beach extension to one of the stunning coastal locations along the East African Coast, whether this is Kenya, Zanzibar or the Seychelles.

Is staying in a remote, eco-camp less comfortable than a lodge or hotel?

Not at all. Each tent at our Porini Camps is spacious and offers a classic safari style with a double and twin bed, en-suite facilities, solar-powered lighting, charging points, and a private veranda. The dining tent and lounge are large and inviting centres to relax in.

Do you have any special offers for honeymooners?

Yes, see below for our honeymoon offer at Porini Camps:

  • Bride saves 50% when staying 4 or more nights at any of the Porini Camps.Valid all year except in Aug & Sep when the discount is 25%.

    *Proof of wedding required. Offer valid for stays within 12 months of wedding.
    This offer is NOT combinable with any other Porini Camps offer.
Are there hidden costs I should worry about?

No. Accommodation at Porini Camps is fully inclusive of all meals, drinks (beer, wine, sodas, vodka, gin & tonics and mineral water) as well as all activities (including day and night game drives, escorted walks and sundowners).

Limited laundry is available at no charge. Laundry is done by hand and dried outdoors; turnaround time is dependent on the weather. Out of respect to local culture and customs, we do not wash underwear. Washing powder is provided in all of our guest rooms, should guests wish to wash their own.

Will we get close to the animals?

Yes, in all locations you can expect good close-ups with the abundant wildlife. We work with local Maasai guides, who are personally familiar with individual animals and territories in the conservancies. They often know the animals by name and can read subtle behavioural cues and anticipate animal movements.

Can we make this trip feel extra special or personalised?

Of course! From private dinners to exclusive vehicles and bespoke itineraries, whatever it is you have in mind to enhance your experience, we can make it happen.

Speak to one of our specialists to let them know your wishes and where possible, we will make it come true!

What is the overall atmosphere on one of your safaris?

Imagine a calm, intimate safari experience with just a handful of like-minded travellers in the wide open wilderness, ensuring privacy and a deeply personal connection with nature.

How will we get to all of these remote and far-flung places?

We will do all the planning for you, so it’s easy. As one example, to get to Porini Giraffe Camp from Nairobi, we use the daily scheduled airline services.
We will, of course, book all of this on your behalf — so all you have to do is unwind.

Will I need to plan everything myself?

Absolutely not. Our specialists can plan, book, and arrange everything on your behalf, so all you have to do is pack your clothes and passport and enjoy the ride. From national park fees, hotels outside of our camps, to transfers, meals and more, we handle all the details.
