Duke’s Camp
"Elegance", "romance", "small and personable" are just some of the many descriptions of Dukes Camp. As part of the camp's honeymoon special, the spouse receives 50% off their stay. This offer is combinable with their sister properties, an extra bonus on a honeymoon trip in Botswana.
Mara Nyika
Mara Nyika is an exclusive and romantic camp with lots of thoughtful touches that would help make a honeymoon feel extra special – for example the big copper bathtubs and the private decks, overlooking the sweeping plains of the Maasai Mara.
