Destinations Guide - Kenya & Zanzibar

Kenya is the 'Land of the Lion King' and sits at the centre of the African safari experience, with an outstanding variety of wild animals and Big Five viewing opportunities. Although safaris are its greatest attraction, it is a country of great diversity with much more to offer than splendid wildlife. Essentially it is a place for outdoor living - the coast offers beaches and water-based activities, the mountains present a challenge to hikers and climbers, and the rolling savannahs are a game-viewers paradise.

The country sits astride the equator and offers fabulous scenery and a variety of tribal cultures. From its central location, the sacred peaks of Mt Kenya reign over a landscape primarily covered by grasslands and thorn trees, much of it enclosed within its many parks and reserves. To the west the spectacular Great Rift Valley is sprinkled with lakes teeming with a variety of birdlife, whose shores and surrounds are traversed by agricultural farmlands. To the east lies the promise of an idyllic beach holiday with the requisite white palm-fringed beaches and pristine coral reefs.

Experience the thrill of exchanging your vows on the open savannah plains under an acacia tree or at a tree lodge surrounded by animals in their natural environment. Sip a sundowner as you watch the sun set adn the stars come out and shine bright in the night sky - romance at its best! And you can combine a safari with a stay on Kenya's tropical coast, with over 300 miles of white sand beaches.

Kenya weddings typically will include assistance from your wedding coordinator, witnesses if required, a decorated wedding setting, wedding celebrant fees and your marriage licence and certificate. We have selected some of our favourite wedding/honeymoon settings in Kenya here but the complete list is much longer and includes the Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort, Voyager Beach Resort, Mombasa Serena Beach Hotel, Mara Intrepids, Siana Springs, Samburu Intrepids, Indian Ocean Beach Resort, Leopard Beach Resort, Pinewood Village, Satao Safari and the Governors Camp in the Masai Mara. Please just ask us for more details!

Located about 22 miles (35km) off the east coast of Tanzania, Zanzibar is an archipelago consisting of the main island of Unguja (commonly known as Zanzibar), Pemba Island famous for its deep-sea fishing, and about 50 smaller surrounding islands and coral reefs.

Also known as 'Spice Island', Zanzibar evokes images of an exotic paradise with white palm-fringed beaches and turquoise coves, dreamy dhows with billowing white sails, and ancient Islamic ruins. It combines Arabic alleyways and historic monuments with coral reefs and excellent diving and snorkelling opportunities. Wedding hotel locations here include the Gemma Del Est, Ocean Paradise Resort, Breezes Beach Club and the Bluebay Beach Resort.
