Maasai Mara is the most popular of all honeymoon. I mean, who wouldn’t want a wedding in the wild, surrounded by animals, birds singing in the trees, large grass plains while the Maasai play and dance to traditional music around you. For me this would be a spectacular moment and a dream come true. You will have safari guides to offer you protection as you say your vows.
You can choose to stay at any of the lodges and camps in the Mara.
Rusinga Island Lodge
