to Mara. On arrival at 1130 you will be met and taken by 4x4 to
Cottars 1920's Camp where you stay for three nights (fully inclusive
of meals and activities).
Cottars 1920's Camp is a superb and stylish camp on a vast 22,000
acre private area of land in the heart of the MASAI MARA . The
safari camp is set on a hilltop with views for a dozen miles across
rolling hills and expansive open plains dotted with acacia trees
which are the setting for the world's biggest animal migration
between July and September as one and a half million wildebeest
and zebra pass through the Mara. Your honeymoon safari will be
an experience like no other.
Cottars is owned and run by Calvin and Louise Cottar who have
been operating safaris in the MASAI MARA for many years and who
know their private conservancy and the entire MASAI MARA Reserve
intimately. The camp is very traditional with huge white canvas
tents, open at the sides during the day, with proper beds, comfortable
furniture and en suite w.c and shower, and from the chairs at
the front of your tent you can enjoy the fine views across the
plains. The camp is run with a good sense of style and the standard
of food and service is excellent. Because it is set on a large
private reserve you can enjoy walking with an armed guide, tracking
animals through the bush and game viewing by vehicle during the
day and at night, knowing that you will encounter no other tourists
or vehicles. You can also venture further afield into other parts
of the Mara following the huge migrating herds and seeing countless
lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, elephant and buffalo in the company
of Calvin and his other highly expert guides.
More so than any other camp in East Africa, Cottars manages to
combine simplicity with a real sense of relaxed style and inspired
guiding, cuisine and attention to detail, all of which goes to
create an unforgettable African safari.
Days 8 to 13
After lunch you will be transferred to the airstrip where you
board a scheduled flight departing at 1400 to Ukunda. On arrival

Funzi Keys is probably the most luxurious beach hideaway for a
honeymoon in Africa. Situated on a private island 15 minutes by
light aircraft from the Kenya Coast, the island accommodates guests
in nine huge thatched buildings inspired by typical Omani architecture.
Inside is a vast 'bedroom' with four-poster bed, jacuzzi with
a view and Omani furnishings, an open-fronted lounge with sofas
and low tables.
The owners, Alessandro Torriani and his wife Claudia, are usually
there and they charmingly and unobtrusively keep in touch with
each guest to discuss what they would like to do each day and
what you would like to eat and drink - there are no menus.
Funzi Keys has an enormous pool and wide range of water sports
including snorkelling. You can also go deep-sea fishing in the
nearby Pemba Channel where the enormous catches attract sports
fishermen from all over the world. Guests often like to simply
explore the island with its pretty creeks, spectacular bird life.
Snorkellers and divers will want to visit the owner's private
islands to the south where there are marvellous reefs and hundreds
of species of fish. There is a small beach in front of the lodge
and a superb private white sandy beach a few hundred yards away
by boat.
The atmosphere is private and relaxed with superb cuisine and
dinner can be prepared to order and enjoyed by your own campfire
on the beach outside your lodge, in the dining room or on board
a dhow moored just offshore. The dhow can also be used for dreamy
sunset cruises around the islands when you just want to wind down
and enjoy a romantic evening.
Kenya combines an overland African safari with a beach break perfectly,
as romance and tranquilty are the main factors of this remote
luxury honeymoon safari.

flight back to Nairobi to connect with your onward flight back
