For couples who crave both adventure and intimacy, Kenya stands out as a honeymoon destination that captures the best of both worlds. Imagine camping under a starlit sky with the sounds of the wild echoing in the background, waking up to birdsong, and setting out to spot lions and elephants at dawn. Add candlelit dinners, fresh African cuisine, and the gentle hum of nature, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for romance in the wild.

Kenya is best known for the Masai Mara and its incredible Great Migration, but there’s so much more waiting beyond the savannahs. Whether you’re drawn to city experiences, coastal calm, or secluded safaris, Kenya has plenty of hidden gems for honeymooners to explore.

While many travellers treat Nairobi as a brief halt before the wild adventures begin, the capital city is worth exploring on its own. Start your journey at the Giraffe Centre, a delightful experience where visitors can hand-feed the endangered Rothschild giraffes from an elevated platform, a memory that’s both charming and heartwarming.

If you’re easing into relaxation mode after the wedding rush, luxury boutique hotels in the city offer rejuvenating spa treatments and tranquil stays. For couples with a spirit of adventure, a day trip to Nairobi National Park provides an early glimpse of Kenya’s wildlife spot rhinos, lions, and other majestic animals roaming freely.

Head to Westlands, the vibrant heart of Nairobi, where chic cafés, rooftop bars, and art galleries create the perfect date-night atmosphere. For golf enthusiasts, Nairobi’s lush greens, like Muthaiga Golf Club, Karen Country Club, and Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club promise memorable mornings on the course.

Kenya’s coastline is a dream come true for beach lovers. With its turquoise waters, coral reefs, and breezy islands, it offers just as much allure as its wildlife-rich parks. The UNESCO-listed island of Lamu charms visitors with its Swahili culture, narrow streets, and traditional dhows gliding across the shimmering sea. Enjoy freshly caught seafood, explore hidden caves, or sail through mangroves at sunset.

For a touch of adventure, couples can go diving, kitesurfing, or snorkelling at Watamu or the Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park. Those seeking a cultural fix will find Mombasa equally enchanting with its mix of heritage and modernity.

Want to wake up by the sea? Choose from Almanara Luxury Resort & Spa on Diani Beach or the idyllic The Sands at Chale Island, both offering plush stays and breathtaking ocean views that redefine luxury.

While the Masai Mara remains Kenya’s safari showstopper, there are quieter, equally stunning sanctuaries for honeymooners. The Segera Retreat blends luxury with sustainability, making it ideal for couples who want a mindful getaway. In Laikipia, private conservancies like Lewa and Ol Pejeta offer intimate game drives and a chance to see the last two northern white rhinos on Earth.

The Samburu National Reserve is another must-visit, known for its dramatic landscapes and rare species such as the Grevy’s zebra and the reticulated giraffe. Stay at the Saruni Samburu Lodge, where the infinity pool offers endless views of untouched wilderness—a scene straight out of a dream.

Kenya has a way of turning moments into memories. Picture yourselves drifting over the Savannah in a hot air balloon, or enjoying a private bush dinner under a sky full of stars. Toast your love on a dhow ride in Lamu, or relax with a couple’s massage in a seaside cabana while the Indian Ocean hums in the background.

Whether you’re on your honeymoon, babymoon, or just seeking a luxurious escape filled with adventure and affection, Kenya offers experiences that go far beyond the ordinary.

So skip the clichés, let Kenya surprise you with its perfect mix of the wild, the warm, and the wonderfully romantic.

Boeing has reported a USD 5.4 billion loss for the third quarter, primarily due to a USD 4.9 billion charge tied to the delayed certification of its 777X aircraft, which has now pushed deliveries to 2027. Despite a 30% revenue increase to USD 23.3 billion, driven by higher commercial aircraft deliveries, the company continues to face mounting challenges, marking its 17th consecutive quarterly loss.

The delay in the 777X program has significantly impacted Boeing’s financials. The company had expected to advance the next phase of certification flights this year but has deferred them to 2027 to complete additional preparatory analyses required by US regulators.

Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg acknowledged the setback but expressed optimism about the company’s progress.

“While we are disappointed in the 777X schedule delay, the airplane continues to perform well in flight testing, and we remain focused on the work ahead,” Ortberg said.

Ortberg also pointed to the recent Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval to increase monthly production of the 737 MAX as a sign of recovery and confirmed that Boeing achieved positive free cash flow during the quarter, a metric closely followed by investors.

However, the aviation giant continues to face operational and reputational hurdles stemming from past safety incidents, including the two fatal 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019, which prompted tighter FAA scrutiny over all new certifications.

According to Briefing.com, Boeing’s latest results show “a mix of clear progress and lingering challenges,” emphasizing the company must still prove that its turnaround efforts can lead to consistent profitability.

In contrast, European rival Airbus reported a 14% rise in profits to USD 1.1 billion, highlighting the gap in financial performance between the two aerospace leaders. However, Boeing has regained a lead in aircraft orders for 2025, recording 774 net orders by the end of September, compared to Airbus’s 514.

Under the revised timeline, Boeing expects commercial deliveries of the 777X to begin in 2027, delayed from the earlier 2026 estimate. The program is expected to remain a cash drain for the initial years after launch but could turn cash flow positive by 2029, according to Chief Financial Officer Jay Malave.

Meanwhile, Boeing is also dealing with a labor strike at its St. Louis defense operations, where over 3,000 workers recently rejected the company’s latest contract proposal. Ortberg stated that the facility continues to operate under contingency plans, with production running at roughly the same rate.

Union leaders, however, criticized Boeing’s decision to recruit replacement workers, citing the complexity of precision manufacturing and the value of experienced labor.

“These are complex, precision-built products and they cannot replace the skilled, experienced IAM members who have dedicated their careers to this work,” the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 837 said in a statement.

Shares of Boeing closed down 4.4%, as investors weighed the company’s progress against ongoing financial and operational setbacks.
