The Best Honeymoon Destinations in Africa | Vogue

"Guided horseback safaris around Kenya’s vast Masai Mara let you trot alongside elephants, giraffes, and herds of zebras much like adventurers did centuries ago. Over week-long trips with Black Saddle, days flow from leisurely rides through the bush to adrenaline-pumping crossings of hippo-filled rivers and close encounters with lions, which have grown accustomed to being around horses over the last 30 years. Evenings wind down at a mobile tented camp pitched in scenic spots such as a Mara River tributary or the Soit Ololo Escarpment, where safari-style tents come with hot bucket showers, private drop-loos, and soft linen bedding, and sundown cocktails and candlelit dinners add a romantic finish." - Chris Schalkx
