Itinerary
Three days and two nights in the Maasai Mara combine return Wilson Airport flights with private game viewing and the included honeymoon champagne welcome, flower decoration, champagne sundowner and private bush dinner experiences.
Day 01 :
Nairobi to Maasai Mara by Air
The honeymoon safari begins with the included Nairobi transfer to Wilson Airport and the booked flight to the Maasai Mara. The dedicated guide meets the couple at the airstrip and accompanies the transfer to the accommodation, where the included champagne welcome and flower decoration introduce the honeymoon stay. The afternoon private game drive explores the reserve’s grassland habitats, with time to observe wildlife, watch behaviour and take photographs at the encounters along the route. The included champagne sundowner takes place at a permitted location as part of the booked programme, providing an outdoor conclusion to the arrival-day exploration before the first Mara overnight stay.
8 hours
Lunch + Dinner
Day 02 :
Private Mara Game Drive and Bush Dinner
A private morning game drive provides time to explore the Maasai Mara with the dedicated guide and vehicle. The guide follows authorised routes through the wildlife habitats, pausing for observation and photography according to the encounters along the way. The programme returns to the accommodation for a midday rest, separating the morning exploration from the evening’s included private bush dinner. That outdoor experience takes place at a permitted location under the camp’s arrangements and gives the final full day a distinct honeymoon setting. Spa treatments remain optional and separately charged; neither the private vehicle nor the private dinner means exclusive use of the wider reserve or accommodation.
12 hours
Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner
Day 03 :
Maasai Mara to Nairobi by Air
The final morning centres on checkout and the transfer from the accommodation to the booked Mara airstrip. The airstrip journey provides the final passage through the Mara landscape before boarding the return flight to Nairobi’s Wilson Airport. A separate additional morning game drive is not scheduled in this programme. After landing at Wilson, the included Nairobi transfer completes the three-day honeymoon safari. The day brings the couple back to the city following two Mara nights, private game viewing and the included welcome, sundowner and outdoor dining experiences, with departure following the booked flight rather than a guaranteed midday return.

Kelvin and Rustic Nature Tours were the absolute best choice for the two day trips we did during our time in Nairobi. We could not have asked for a better experience. The tripsKelvin and Rustic Nature Tours were the absolute best choice for the two day trips we did during our time in Nairobi. We could not have asked for a better experience. The trips were completely seamless. We had terrific communication beforehand in preparation for the experiences, and we felt that all aspects were accounted for. Kelvin was absolutely exceptional as a guide. He was very knowledgeable about the animals, the local history, and the elements of the safari experience. His ability to navigate us to exactly the spots where we could see the most, be the closest, and truly experience all that Kenya has to offer.For the first-day experience, we traveled to Amboseli. People in our group really wanted to see elephants. And elephants we saw! Kelvin helped position the Land Cruiser so that we had multiple herds of elephants (including babies) walk in front of the vehicle, less than 10 feet away!! It was a memorable sight. We also saw lions, zebras, wildebeests, birds (of all kinds), giraffes, and so much more. Kelvin has a college degree in wildlife management, and he is both extraordinarily knowledgeable and professional in the trip. He answered our questions, provided information, and helped us experience the wildlife in the safest manner possible. I would definitely recommend taking the Land Cruiser over the Safari van. The roads in the park are bumpy, and the Land Cruiser ensured a safe, comfortable ride while also getting us into the perfect spot to see the animals. After 4 hours or so in the park, we headed to a beautiful lodge to eat. The food and experience at the lodge were wonderful. After that, we did another drive before leaving to head back to Nairobi. A long but unbelievable day!For the second experience, we headed to Nairobi National Park, then the Sheldrick Elephant Trust, Kobe Beads, lunch, and the Giraffe Center. Again, Kelvin was a masterful guide. In the park, he got us close to hippos, rhinos, zebras, giraffes, ostriches, and even a crocodile- among many other animals. He found the perfect spots and maneuvered the vehicle just right (and sometimes even off the beaten path) to make sure we saw the best views of the animals (again, we recommend the Land Cruiser for the best experience!). After talking with others who took different trips to Nairobi National Park, we realized how special our visit was. Many of them didn’t have Kelvin guiding them and, as a result, missed seeing all that we saw. We can’t emphasize enough how amazing Kelvin is. From there, Kelvin got us to the Elephant Sanctuary. He had the tickets already set, so all we needed to do was walk in, and then he got us to the perfect spot where we could be feet away from baby elephants, a baby rhino, and a baby zebra. Truly spectacular! After that, we visited a local bead factory that is a microenterprise supporting local women. We had a tour, learned about the beading process, and then had the opportunity to visit their shop (no hassling or pressure to buy- but we did get some beautiful items!). Then to a hidden garden for lunch at a local restaurant, and then finally to the giraffes. By the time we got to the giraffes, it was very busy, but again, Kelvin worked his magic to get us through the line quickly (we felt like VIPs!) and to the perfect spot to feed them. He clearly knows the staff, as he was able to get us pictures and even additional food to feed the animals. After a long day, he masterfully navigated traffic (which is no joke) to return us to the hotel.All in all, our time in Kenya would not have been the same without Kelvin and Rustic Nature Tours. We can’t recommend their tours any higher. You will not be disappointed!!!…

Then we headed to the elephant orphanage where Faith knew the whole system and was able to get us up close spots in the “splash zone.” Next up was the giraffe center where we got up close to hand feed giraffes. Faith knew all of the giraffes by name and personality and even took photos on our camera for us. Afterwards we stopped for traditional Kenyan lunch (at your own expense) and we elected to do the Karen Blixen museum for the entrance fee as well. Since it was just me and my husband, Faith even drove us to the local mall before taking us back to the hotel. Overall it was a day well spent with memories to last a lifetime!…
