Honeymoons with an Eco-tourism touch to it:

So maybe you are environmentally friendly and you feel that it is your duty to keep the environment clean at least to protect the environment. This time the holiday revolves round the western province of Kenya (with short stop overs in Naivasha.) that is not very well known but has a vast population of natural sites for nature lovers. SO what does this involve?
Day 1: Sinya Omelok, the base camp is the first destination from the city with is hub of all activities to its name. For two days it will cover walks around the camp, landscape viewing, catching panoramic and unique views from the escarpment, or participating in local activities such as bull fighting which the locals enjoy to watch.
Day 2: A short staff-guided nature trail is provided to the visitors with an opportunity to see unique caves, sacred sites, wildlife….and a great variety of bio diversity that is found in the region. The best part is that Sinya Omelok is only a 90 minutes drive from Nairobi. The sub-humid ecosystem offers a diverse range of bio diversity for the enjoyment of the nature lovers. The main objective of this people driven program is to establish systems for sustainable resource management to generate income and support food security strategies in the region while at the same time generating revenue for development of the camp.
Day 3: The next destination is the Tree Hotel in the Aberdare which is in the Mt Kenya National Park. The Tree Hotel is located in indigenous forest in the foothills of Mount Kenya National Park.
Day 4: Finally the couple departs for Kakamega via the Rift Valley. Forest in Western Kenya is a superb slab of virgin tropical rainforest in the heart of an intensively cultivated agricultural area. It is home to a huge variety of birds and animals. Only in this forest can you find the rare De Brazza monkey. The overnight stay will be at Rondo Retreat Centre that is operated by the Trinity Fellowship. It is set in beautiful gardens in the middle of the Kakamega forest. Guided walks for bird watching as several exotic species of birds found in the Kakamega Forest that are not seen anywhere else in Kenya.
Day 5: Saiwa Swamp
The couple departs from the Kakamega forest to Saiwa camp that is a rich haven for all kinds of birds. It is famous for hosting all kinds of reptiles among them the crocodile and lizards, the tortoise family and also the snails which are a delicacy to some of the communities around the region.
Of course there are many other sites that can be included in the safari package depending on your appetite for nature. The couple can always customize their holiday package. The honeymoon package is also offered by Kenya safari holidays with very attractive prices attached to each package. They are a reputable firm and customers always call for more.
