6 African Resorts for a Wild, Safari-Filled Honeymoon

African safaris conjure golden-age-of-travel fantasies: Serengeti sunsets, tented opulence, Hemingway-esque glamour. Thinking hefty price tags as well? Not always—these all-inclusive resorts offer luxury, expert guides, and epic landscapes at a less-than-sky-high cost.

Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp

Where: Masai Mara, Kenya

Why Here: This all-new camp combines modern comfort with a timeless, classic ambience. Laid out along the Sabaringo River, 40 spacious, secluded tents overlook the fabled Masai Mara plains.

What You'll Do: On cool morning game drives, snuggle beneath a blanket watching the wildlife spectacle unfold before your eyes. Expect to see large elephant herds, as well as lions, cheetahs, and other predators. From July to October (high season), the annual migration of half a million wildebeests and vast groups of zebras and topi down from the Serengeti into the Mara is an unforgettable sight. You can also add a sunrise hot-air-balloon safari, followed by a Champagne breakfast. Then unwind from the action-packed game drives and guided Mara River walks with a little relaxation poolside and a feast featuring organic produce from the garden.

The Bottom Line: Low season (Nov. 1–Dec. 20, Jan. 1–June 20), from $330 per person a night, inclusive; high season (July 1–Oct. 30, Dec. 21- 31), from $450 per person a night (50 percent discount on the bride's accommodations), andbeyond.com. See What Else We're Loving In Travel and Honeymoons
