Destination Wedding: Kenya, Safari Weddings on the Equator

Wedding facts

A local wedding tradition in Kenya is to bind the bride and groom's wrists in grass as a symbol of their commitment to each other.

Kenya requires a three-business-day residency before you can get a marriage license. You need a birth certificate and proof of divorce (if previously married). There are no medical tests, and tour companies will arrange for document processing.


When to go

The peak season is May through mid-August. Another peak season runs from December to January 15. Prices vary only a little from high to low season.


Insider tips

Be prepared for the lengthy flight -- a whopping 15 hours from New York to Kenya via a direct South African Airways flight.
