Weddings and honeymoons in the bush
When people think of eloping, they often dream of white sandy beaches, azure turquoise waters and swaying palm trees. But there is another way to say I do, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, that doesn’t involve getting sand in your dress and having lobster-baked tourists gawking at you. Welcome to the safari wedding – an intimate, exclusive, and ultimately, hopelessly romantic escape just for two. You can say your nuptials with backdrops of savannahs, teeming with zebras or elephants drinking from a waterhole, continue your celebration with world-class African cuisine served around the fire or picnic style near a river with hippos as company.
Hopelessly romantic

Michelle explains, “I believe love should feel natural and never forced. And what’s more natural than raw, untamed nature? For me, sitting around a crackling fire in the middle of one of the largest conservation centres in the world, enjoying local delicacies, and returning to a warm safari tent is hopelessly romantic.”
