Arrive at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport by the
evening flight, where you will be met by the warm, smiling face of you guide then transfer to Ngong House, where you may have
a light snack before settling in for the night. During your first night in Africa, you will probably awaken to the peculiar,
electrifying call of a territorial male tree hyrax! In fact, these furry brown creatures that look like giant guinea pigs
are the closest living relatives to the elephant! Enjoy your first night in Africa! Cottars 1920s Camp Cottars Concession, Masai Mara Area - 4 nights After breakfast you will be transferred to Wilson Airport for your scheduled flight
to the Masai Mara. Cottar's 1920's Camp in the Maasai Mara returns to the original spirit and essence of 'safari,'
reminiscent of a golden era - an era of romance, professional guiding, adventure and elegance, in a timelessly unspoiled setting
with panoramic views and boundless game. Each day in the Mara will be dramatically different to the next. Swathed in dreamy
white canvas and nestled amidst forested hills, Cottar's 1920's Camp captures the very essence of romance and mysticism
of Africa. So swooningly alluring is it that it has become the hottest emerging destination for Weddings in the African bush!
A stylishly simple ceremony coupled with the vibrant colors of Masai dancing and celebrations away from the crowds yet amidst
the herds! The wedding cermeony is complete with a gourmet dinner, wedding photographer, a mouthwatering wedding cake of your
choice as well as both a traditional and Maasai wedding ceremony, the bride and groom are both adorned in traditional Maasai
regalia and the entire village joins in your celebration! Borana Lodge - Laikipia Plateau - 3 nights After your gourmet breakfast and on your second day of your honeymoon,
you will board a private charter flight to Laikipia Plateau. Upon arrival, you will be met by your hosts or one of their guides.
Once you settle in, you will enjoy lunch before your activities begin. You will enjoy three wonderful days exploring this
incredible wilderness area with guides who will share their knowledge of the native flora and fauna and man's interaction
with it! The Laikipia Plateau is a peaceful wilderness with spectacular vistas and beautiful sunsets. Only local building
materials and dead wood from the ranch were used in the construction of the lodge. The result is a supremely comfortable and
luxurious lodge which is totally in keeping with its surroundings. There is a central eating and sitting area: comfy leather
sofas surround a huge fireplace with picture windows looking onto the valley below. Manda bay - Manda Island, Lamu - 3 nights After breakfast you will connect on a scheduled flight to Nairobi
and then on down to Manda Island, where you will spend the last three days of your Safari at Manda Bay! Manda Bay Resort is
a small private lodge on Manda Island in northern Kenya's Lamu Kiwayu archipelago. Ten spacious cottages line the beach
overlooking the calm waters of Manda Bay. Manda Bay Resort is on a secluded peninsular, close to ancient Lamu Town and neighbouring
Shela but far enough away from the bustle to enjoy total privacy. Surrounded by magnificent coral gardens, empty beaches and
indigenous woodland. One of the best ways to explore this incredible archipelago is under sail on Utamaduni, our beautiful
62 foot sailing dhow. Utamaduni is a Kiswahili word meaning way of life or culture. Manda Bay is a water sports paradise.
Its sheltered mangrove creek and the calm waters are ideal for water skiing. This is the perfect place to end your Africa
honeymoon! Departure Day - Nairobi
After breakfast, you will be transferred to the airstrip where you will board a scheduled flight
to Nairobi's Wilson Airport. Enjoy a day of last minute shopping, sightseeing, and relaxing! After dinner, you will be
transferred to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in time to check in for you overnight flight back home. That’s
what we call Africa.
