Newlyweds Charlene and Isaya Yunge enjoy romantic honeymoon by the lake

Charlene Ruto and her husband, Isaya Yunge, have shared a glimpse of their honeymoon, posting romantic photographs showing them enjoying quiet moments together beside the waters of Lake Victoria following their wedding in Tanzania.

The newlyweds appear to have taken time away from the attention surrounding their marriage, choosing a scenic lakeside location for their getaway. Their photographs capture them surrounded by enormous rocks, calm waters, boats and a striking old tree whose thick, exposed roots stretch towards the shoreline.

The couple also embraced coordinated dressing for their outing, opting for complementary neutral-coloured outfits that gave them a relaxed yet elegant appearance.

Isaya wore a cream-coloured top paired with beige trousers, while Charlene chose a beige shirt layered over a white top and flowing white wide-leg trousers. Their outfits blended with the natural colours of the surrounding landscape.

In one of the photographs, the two are seated together at the base of a massive weathered tree. Charlene leans affectionately towards her husband, wrapping her arms around him as they enjoy the moment.

The tree, with its thick trunk and sprawling roots, forms a prominent feature of the photograph. Large boulders sit along the water’s edge, while boats can be seen floating nearby. Across the water, a distant shoreline creates a scenic backdrop.

Another photograph captures Charlene standing behind Isaya, holding him closely around the waist as they look towards the surrounding scenery. The images show the couple spending time together in an intimate setting away from the formal wedding celebrations.

Away from their honeymoon photographs, Charlene has also updated her Instagram biography to reflect her new marital status.

The daughter of President William Ruto now describes herself as “Joyfully married to Isaya Yunge”, publicly acknowledging her union with the Tanzanian entrepreneur.

Isaya has equally shared glimpses of their time together through his Instagram Stories, with the couple continuing to give followers occasional updates following their wedding.

Their latest photographs come days after they exchanged marriage vows in Mwanza, Tanzania, on Friday, November 6, 2026.

The wedding took place at Malaika Beach Hotel, with family members, friends and prominent guests from Kenya and Tanzania attending the celebrations.

President William Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto were among those present to witness their daughter’s marriage. The President escorted Charlene down the aisle before she joined Isaya for the ceremony.

Charlene wore an elegant white bridal gown featuring floral details, long sleeves and a flowing veil, while Isaya appeared in a formal suit.

The celebrations included elaborate floral arrangements, a decorated outdoor ceremony space and a reception overlooking the waters of Lake Victoria.

The couple also posed for photographs amid colourful smoke displays and fireworks, adding to the celebrations surrounding their union.

Their wedding followed a traditional Kalenjin engagement ceremony held on August 8, 2026, at Intonna Heritage Farm in Kilgoris, Narok County.

The traditional ceremony, known as Koito, brought together members of both families to formally celebrate the relationship and observe customary marriage proceedings.

The couple’s wedding preparations continued in November, with Charlene holding a bridal shower on November 3 before a Mother’s Blessing ceremony hosted by First Lady Rachel Ruto on November 4.

Since exchanging vows, Charlene and Isaya have continued sharing moments from their celebrations, with their latest lakeside photographs offering a glimpse into their first days as husband and wife.
