Celebrate your dream wedding and honeymoon in Kenya. To get married
in Kenya is very exotic and easy to arrange in different places. You
have a wide choice of most romantic and exiting places for your wedding;
a small dreamy island, along the beach, or on Lamu Island, in the African
Wilderness or on the Equator in the luxury of Mount Kenya Safari Club,
on board of an Arabian Dhow facing the old town of Mombasa or in the
capital city, Nairobi.
Wedding at New Lamu Palace Hotel, Lamu Island, Kenya Coast
Founded in the 7th century, LAMU still reflects the typical picture
of the old Arabic dhow ports. Not only the Swahili-culture has its
roots in Lamu, but hand finished, richly carved furniture and doors.
Old 18th century stone houses, women dressed in the traditional bui-bui,
donkey caravans, and fishermen in their dhows with huge triangular
sails giving the atmosphere of the busy days of the past. The narrow
streets have about 4000 donkeys, which take the place of cars, lorries
and taxis.
Lamu Palace hotel is located on Lamu Island directly on the seashore.
It has 22 rooms all of which are air-conditioned. There is a restaurant
on the rooftop and a more spacious one on the terrace serving seafood,
as its specialty. There are sunbathing, diving, snorkeling by dhow
boat trips to the nearby Manda island.
Wedding at Norfolk Hotel, Nairobi
Older than The London Ritz, younger than The Savoy, no other hotel
in Kenya has as rich history as The Norfolk, one of the worlds most
romantic hotels. When it first opened on Christmas of 1904, it was
to spearhead traditions, which are still unmatched today. Nairobi
as a capital of Kenya grew all around The Norfolk. It soon became
a gathering place for new arrivals, businessmen and government officials.
Big Game Hunters, with clients such as aristocrats and adventurers
who came to experience the new Kenya, started their safaris here.
It was an island of civilized comfort in the early wild and dusty
days of this country. The guest list made its legend and still does
so today .Because of the excellent service and the fine cuisine it
is now a member of "The Leading Hotels of the World".
Wedding at Governors Camp, Maasai Mara National Reserve
The Governors' Family of Camps provides luxury and comfort while retaining
the authentic flavor of safari camping. There is still excitement
- wild animals in camp, only canvas overhead and yet you can have
a hot shower and iced drinks. The high quality of food and service
seem amazing in this rough, bush setting miles from civilization.
This was the first tented camp to be established in the Maasai Mara
National Reserve.
The green tents are sited along the high banks of the looping Mara
River. Tall old trees, clipped green lawns, and the quiet river give
everything a feeling of tranquility. Each tent is sited on a cement
foundation with a private bathroom. There are hot showers, flush toilets,
washbasins and even bidets.
Wedding on the Equator at Mt. Kenya Safari Club, Nanyuki
With its 5,199 meter height, the Mt. Kenya is Africa's second highest
mountain and superb scenic beauty. Although it is right on the equator,
its peaks are snow covered all year. Part of the mountain's fascination
is the variety in flora and fauna as the altitude changes. A number
of rare or endangered species can be found here. The mountain is
regarded as the perfect model of an equatorial mountain. The Mount
Kenya Safari Club, with its blend of romance, history and scenery
has become a Kenyan tradition. Built right at the equator, on a ridge
facing Mt Kenya, the site is truly magnificent. The grand main building
gleams white against the green sweep of surrounding lawns, and there
are dramatic vies of the foothill forests rising to the peak of Mt.
Kenya.
The accommodation covers a wide range of styles, locations and prices.
Activities includes, nine-hole golf course, heated swimming pool, horseback
riding on trails, tennis- bowling, green museum of African art, Kimathi
hideout used by the legendary Mau Mau general, trout fishing and moor
land walks.
Wedding at Mara Safari Club, Maasai Mara National Reserve
This area of 1,800 sq km National Reserve spreads southwest of Nairobi,
along the Tanzanian Border and the Serengeti National Park. The Mara
River and its tributary the Talek water the landscape of gently rolling
grassy hills. Maasai Mara has the highest concentration of game in
Kenya and the largest lion population, including the black-manned
lion. The Mara River is teeming with hippos, huge crocodiles and
oversized catfish. It is the theatre of the "Greatest Animal
Show on Earth", the great migration. From July to September,
hundred thousands of gnus, accompanied by zebras, antelopes and gazelles,
move from the dry Serengeti to greener pastures, closely monitored
by their predators.
The luxurious Mara Safari Club is set at the foot of the Aitong Hills
in the Ol-Choro Oiroua conservation Area, bordering the Maasai Mara
National Reserve. All tents have their own private river frontage,
with four-poster beds, veranda, and electricity, modern en suite facilities
with hot and cold running water. The main building, with lounge, bar
and dining room is cantilevered over the river.
Weddings at Chale Paradise Island, South Coast Kenya
Chale Island is a small dreamy coral island, located about 12 km south
of the famous Diani Beach. The island is a nature reserve with wealth
of animal & bird life, natural springs (thermal) and salt lakes in
the interior. Being mostly furnished with African/Arabic antiques, the
elegant tented bungalows and apartments have a combined living and bedroom,
a separate bathroom with shower and toilet and a spacious terrace overlooking
the Indian Ocean. The tented bungalows are makuti thatched with their
own little sunbathing beach. The open restaurant, the palm leaf thatched
bar and the Dhow-bar lies on the bay, with its white sandy beach offering
opportunities for activities such as diving, snorkeling, boat riding
and fishing.
