A Journey of a Lifetime:
Kenya & Tanzania Safari and Seychelles Escape
From hand-feeding giraffes in Nairobi to witnessing the Big Five in the Serengeti and unwinding on the pristine beaches of Seychelles, our honeymoon was nothing short of life-changing.
"To sum it up, we had a wonderful experience and we will be singing your praises for the rest of our lives. I am sure that eventually, we will want to come back to safari in East Africa, and when we do, we will absolutely reach out to you."

A Honeymoon Beyond Imagination: Our African Safari & Island Escape
I can’t stop thinking about this safari—it was hands down one of the most incredible experiences of my life. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless, from the warm welcome to the breathtaking landscapes that stretched as far as the eye could see. Every day felt like stepping into a scene from a nature documentary, but nothing could have prepared me for what it felt like to experience it in person.
Waking up to the sounds of the wild was something truly special. The distant roar of a lion at dawn, the birdsong filling the crisp morning air, and the sheer stillness of the vast savanna—every moment felt surreal. Our guide was phenomenal, not just in spotting animals but in sharing his deep knowledge of their behaviors and the ecosystem. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five, but it wasn’t just about checking off a list; it was about understanding and appreciating the wildlife in a whole new way.
One of the most unforgettable moments was watching a herd of elephants cross in front of us, their sheer size and quiet grace leaving me speechless. Then there was the adrenaline rush of seeing a cheetah in full sprint, and the unexpected charm of a family of warthogs trotting along, tails sticking straight up. Sunset game drives were pure magic—the sky transforming into a masterpiece of orange and pink while giraffes moved like silhouettes against the horizon.
And the lodges—wow. After a long day of adventure, coming back to a luxurious lodge felt like the perfect balance of comfort and immersion in nature.
A Journey That Stays with You Forever
Join me as I take you through a journey of breathtaking wildlife, luxurious lodges, and unforgettable moments in Africa’s wild heart.
KENYA
Waking Up to Giraffes in Nairobi
Imagine waking up to soft golden light filtering through your window, and as you sip your morning coffee, a giraffe leans in, curiously extending its long neck for a treat. At Giraffe Manor, this isn’t a fantasy—it’s your daily reality. There’s something magical about looking into the gentle eyes of these towering creatures, sharing a quiet moment before the day’s adventure begins.
KENYA
The Thrill of the Masai Mara
If you’ve ever wanted to feel truly alive, come to Masai Mara. Picture yourself in an open 4x4, the wind in your hair, eyes scanning the endless golden plains. Within hours, we had seen lions lounging under acacia trees, elephants marching in majestic herds, and a cheetah sprinting at lightning speed. Every moment was raw, wild, and exhilarating.
TANZANIA
Serengeti: Where Luxury Meets the Wild
Now, close your eyes and picture this: you're floating in an infinity pool, watching a family of elephants gather at a watering hole just feet away. This was our reality at the Four Seasons Serengeti. Each day, our expert guide took us deeper into the wild, where we spotted elusive leopards. We felt like we were inside a nature documentary—except this was real, and we were part of it. The Serengeti is more than a place—it’s an experience that stays with you, wrapping you in its timeless beauty and stirring a primal connection to the land.
TANZANIA
Ngorongoro Crater:
A Natural Wonder
Ever heard of a place where you can see the Big Five in a single day? That’s Ngorongoro Crater for you. We stayed at Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, perched on the rim of this ancient volcanic caldera. As we descended into the crater, it felt like stepping into another world—thousands of animals coexisting in one breathtaking sanctuary. If you ever visit Africa, make sure this is on your list.
TANZANIA
Lake Manyara: A Hidden Gem
Tucked away in the lush forests of Tanzania, Lake Manyara Tree Lodge felt like a fairytale. High up in the treetops, we fell asleep to the sounds of nature all around us. The lake itself was a stunning mirror of the sky, dotted with pink flamingos. And yes, we even saw tree-climbing lions—something I didn’t even know existed before this trip!
SEYCHELLES
Secluded Paradise & The Perfect Ending
After days filled with adventure, we stepped onto the white sand shores of Fisherman’s Cove Resort in Seychelles. The turquoise waters stretched endlessly, the waves lapping gently as we finally exhaled. Snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs, dining under the stars, and letting time slow down—this was the kind of paradise that lingers in your heart long after you leave.
Why This Trip Was Perfect
From the moment we landed in Africa, every detail was seamless. Our guides weren’t just knowledgeable—they were storytellers, making every moment feel alive. Each lodge was more than a place to stay; it was an experience in itself. And the best part? It was just us. No crowded vehicles, no rushed schedules—just Regan, me, and the wild, unfolding before our eyes.
If you’ve ever dreamed of Africa, stop dreaming. Go. There’s something about the land, the people, and the wildlife that gets under your skin in the best way possible. It changes you, fills you with wonder, and stays with you long after you’ve left. And trust me—once you’ve been, you’ll always find a reason to return.
