Quality time is as important in any relationship as communication is. Think lazy days on a Sunday afternoon, a walk on the beach or a candlelit dinner. The perfect date may be different for each couple so we’ve curated 5 ideas that allow you to reconnect and enjoy each other’s company, while still having fun.
1. A Private Boat Ride
An exciting way to enjoy your date, especially if you enjoy being around water. Enter Mukima Boat House.
Situated on the foothills of Mt Kenya, the house is a homey little nook that provides you this beautiful, romantic escape. Mukima Boat House is located on 360 acres giving you hundreds of acres to explore offering walks, row boats, wildlife and birds. It is a close drive from 5 famous wildlife conservancies, and a 15 minute drive from Nanyuki town.
Imagine yourself already here.

2. Horseback Riding
Sound thrilling, right? Horse riding is a good way to embrace the cool air while taking in a spectacular view (not just your partner). You must try horse riding at Olepangi farm as you’re in for a treat. Whether you want to indulge in a little farm ride along the river or perhaps polo on the bush pitch, the farm is perfect for this. It offers fast, slow, easy and slightly more lively horses and a guide so you can enjoy quality time with your date.
