About this journey
Designed for couples, this romantic journey combines the exclusive wildlife sanctuary of Lewa with the iconic golden plains of the Maasai Mara. Intimate camps, private game drives and unforgettable sunsets.
Begin your forever where the wild begins. This journey is designed for two, a gentle Nairobi arrival at Manzili House, then a scenic flight over the shoulder of Mount Kenya into Lewa, where 62,000 acres of private conservancy and one of Africa's greatest rhino sanctuaries set the stage. At Sirikoi, days unfold exactly as you wish: dawn game drives, bush walks, long lunches, and sundowners as the light softens over the plains.
Then, the Mara. At Ishara, on the banks of the Talek River, romance is woven into everything, a copper bathtub on your private deck, elephants drinking below your suite, couples rituals at the Aya Spa, and a complimentary photoshoot with resident photographers to carry the memory home. Stay through migration season and the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth plays out around you; stay any time of year and the big cats of the Mara rarely disappoint.Seven nights, two extraordinary sanctuaries, and a honeymoon that belongs to no one but you.
