Honeymoon Score
Overview
A honeymoon that captures the essence of 'Out of Africa'. Kenya offers the unmatched thrill of locking eyes with a wild lion or seeing thousands of wildebeest crossing a river.

Pros
- Unmatched wildlife viewing
- Excellent beaches on the Indian Ocean coast (Diani Beach)
Cons
- Necessary health precautions (vaccines and malaria pills)
- Dust and bumpy roads during safaris
