Hi all, looking at getting married and a combined honeymoon in Kenya around October/November 2008. We have been to Kenya before around 10 years ago and then again last year. Would love to hear your ideas on place to do it, ie beach hotels, safari lodges etc. Our thinking at the minute is to go to a really special place for a few days on safari to get married then back to a beach hotel for the honeymoon and a few days in the Mara, but if we could find the right hotel I would prefer to get married in the hotel grounds as there will be family and some friends coming along. All ideas welcome and will be explored!
Thanks
John
We are going to the Diani Reef Resort & Spa in couple of weeks as our son is getting married there. Quite a few family and friends are going, will post a report on return. It has some good reviews and I think it is the only 5* hotel on the Mombasa coast.
hi beegee, does look a really nice hotel will look forward to your report and hope all goes well.
They all looked very well managed and the gardens are lovely to have photos etc..
There was a "open topped" eating area/restaurant which overlooked the Indian ocean and beach where the "wedding dinner" was. I believe the hotel has also undegone some refurbishmemt this year
One couple also came onto the beach accompanied by Masi warriors !!
There were also some large Indian weddings - these had marquees in the garden with alll the trimmings - very beautiful.
We went on safari before the hotel and a couple who were coming out to get married arranged with the masi mari tribe whose village we went to see, to attend her wedding (at a different hotel).
So I am sure you will have a magical time.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the info tinac, will have a look.

Someone there mentioned marrying on a flower boat on the Mombasa coast (Bamburi I think), sounded lovely.
We stayed in the Mara Serena it was lovely, surely a great location for a wedding and the guests can enjoy a safari while they are there.
