Weddings. Kenya
East Africa. Say the word safari (actually the Swahili
word for “journey”), and most people immediately imagine Kenya. This East African
country has a reputation as the birthplace of big-game trips, capturing America’s
imagination through films like Mogambo and Out of Africa. The romantic idea lives
on, with elegant camps and lodges that offer great game viewing along with luxury
amenities. But fewer people know about the great beaches and interesting heritage
that have long drawn European travelers. (Note: Due to turmoil following the presidential
elections in early 2008, it’s best to consult with the State Department before
setting up your itinerary, and stay away from regions prone to violence, especially
near the Sudanese and Somali borders.) Major
attractions Masai Mara Game Reserve Kenya’s most celebrated game park sits
in the northern Great Rift Valley, extending from the northern edge of Tanzania’s
Serengeti National Park. It’s named after the elegant, cattle-raising Maasai people
who traditionally inhabited the land; you can take a village tour to learn more
about them and their way of life. While it’s not Kenya’s largest game park (that
would be Tsavo, further east), it is one of the best places in the world to see
the big five: lion, leopards, elephants, rhino and cape buffalo, along with zebras,
giraffe and massive herds of wildebeest, who rest in these plains from August
to October. An established infrastructure and long-standing tradition of acclaimed
safari camps makes it a perfect choice for couples that want to safari in style.
Mombasa A longtime favorite of European travelers, Kenya’s second largest city
draws tourism with its balmy weather and pristine white-sand beaches. There are
animal experiences here as well, such as at the Shimba Hills National Reserve,
home to elephants, leopards and sable antelope. Offshore is excellent snorkeling
and scuba diving. Mauritius
Indian Ocean. Elope to the Indian Ocean Islands
of Seychelles or Mauritus for a destination wedding. Couples can exchange their
marriage vows on the beach, in botanical gardens. Accommodation is varied from
luxury hotels and all inclusive resorts, private luxury villas to romantic guesthouses
and self catering bungalows. |
