Picture the fairy tale… Following an effortless bush ceremony, guests raise their glasses to toast the bride and groom in a sand river or on an outcrop overlooking spectacular mountain ranges. Followed by a gracious banquet celebration set in an open-air boma, with softly glowing lanterns, crackling fires, crisp white tablecloths, and the background orchestra of the wild.

There is little as unique as a wedding celebration in the African bush.  The thrill of wild animals roaming the savannah nearby, the stunning beauty of nature as the backdrop, and the exclusivity of remote lodges in iconic wildlife reserves make a Bush Wedding an easy choice for a dream wedding, filled with breath-taking moments and joyful surprises that will pamper and delight any couple.

From small intimate ceremonies to larger weddings, a Bush Wedding is sure to create memorable experiences, one that your guests will be talking about for years to come.
