Affordable Honeymoon Amboseli Safari | 4 Days 3 Nights
Sentrim Amboseli or similar
Three dawns, one mountain and your first days as a married couple.
This Affordable Honeymoon Amboseli Safari gives newlyweds four unhurried days of elephants, open plains and three chances to see Kilimanjaro together.
After the planning, the guests and the speeches, a honeymoon should be the opposite: quiet, open and yours. Amboseli gives you exactly that, with wide plains, green swamps, some of Africa's most studied elephant families and, when the cloud lifts, Kilimanjaro rising from across the border in Tanzania.
You stay three nights at Sentrim Amboseli, a tented camp on the border of the national park, a few minutes from Kimana Gate. Your tent is set up for newlyweds on the first night, and a private safari van with a pop up roof and your own driver guide stay with you for all four days.
Kilimanjaro is shy. It often hides behind cloud for the whole day and shows itself mainly around dawn and dusk, so no one can promise it. What a honeymoon gives you is time, and time means three dawns in the park. On whichever morning the mountain first comes out clear, your guide stops the van for your first married portrait with Kilimanjaro behind you. If it stays hidden all three mornings, the portrait happens with the elephants instead, which is not a bad second place.

More information about this package
A Camp on the Park Edge: Sentrim Amboseli spreads 60 tents across grounds that border the national park, about 3 km from Kimana Gate. Three nights here means three early starts without a long drive.

Every Meal Taken Care Of: Full board covers breakfast, lunch and dinner at the camp restaurant for your whole stay, from the first lunch to the last breakfast.
Afternoons by the Pool: With four days, there is room for long, slow middays at the outdoor pool between drives.
Maasai Heritage: Maasai craft and design shape the camp's common areas, reflecting the community land that surrounds Amboseli.
Four Days, One Van: A private Toyota Hiace with a pop up roof and your own driver guide from pickup to drop off, with no one else sharing the seats.
Your First Married Portrait: On the first clear morning, your guide stops for a portrait with Kilimanjaro behind you, taken on your phone.
