Weddings in Kenya
We can offer you a tailor-made wedding as unique as you and your spouse-to-be. Many people choose to say the big yes on one of the beaches along the Indian Ocean. They indeed make perfect locations: white sand beaches with palm trees, tranquility, the bluest oceans and best sunsets you’ve ever seen. But increasingly, people also get married in such places as the beautiful Lamu island, the Masai Mara or Amboseli, on the slopes of Mount Kenya, or even in a hot air balloon over the plains of Masai Mara or in a dhow boat gliding past one of the Swahili coast towns. Once the wedding is over and done with, let us organise the most romantic honeymoon in Kenya. Our Kenya Collection…
escape2luxury’s selection of top wedding destinations in Kenya
WEDDINGS ON SAFARI - for the wow factor, a romantic wedding in the African bush, teeming with wildlife and rich in culture.
Shimba Hills - The mystique mood of Karen Blixen and the sepia days of "Out of Africa" can be re-lived only forty minutes away from the coast way up in the Shimba Range of Hills. The tree house is situated on the verdant crescent of the Shimba Valley amid surrounding hilltops. From your balcony you can watch the moon rise in the East and the sunset in the West, and overhead, the romance of the African night sky. Have you dreamt of sleeping beneath these stars? The four-poster bed can be safely wheeled forward beneath the panorama and star gazing accomplished in comfort.
Govenors’ Camp - Voted 4th in ‘The Top 10 Hotels in the World’ in 1998, Governors’ Camp is located right in the heart of the prime game viewing area of the world famous Masai Mara National Park and is the perfect spot for a safari wedding. A true safari camp with 36 ensuite tents with fantastic access to the game rich plains that surround. Our recommendation: Float effortlessly across the plains in a hot air balloon, skimming the tree tops and viewing the game from a completely different aspect. A once in a lifetime experience.
