Destination Weddings in South Africa

Get married in South Africa - a country of tremendous diversity and the perfect place to celebrate your wedding in the midst of all its natural beauty!

In Cape Town in the southwestern corner of the continent, you will find the best of Africa and Europe combined. The romance of the Old world is in the vineyards and orchards, in the rolling hills and lush valleys of the wine land, dotted with historic homes.

South Africa's majesty is found in the surrounding mountain ranges with their nature reserves, and in Table Mountain with its massive cliffs, rich flora, particular mammals and birds.

With a cableway to the mountain's top and, as you look down, the most spectacular view of the world will unfold before your very eyes. A romantic scene will be you and your bride walking together in the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens to gaze at the dazzling colors and the unusual shapes of a myriad of indigenous plant species!

The Cape of Good Hope, with its haunted waters, is intriguing. In the 17th century the legendary Flying Dutchman ship was unable to round it and vanished, while several other vessels sank along the coastline in the same pursuit. At this location Southern right whales will swim along with their calves and the baboons will stare at you.

In South Africa you will see the quiver trees, the Halfmens trees, called elephant trunks because of their shape, the black rhino, reptiles and snakes galore. Drive your Land Rover along the west coast, up to the mighty Orange River, and find where the first diamonds were discovered, admire the Augrabies Falls and enjoy a canoeing trip.

Visit the Kalahari, a never-ending sea of red sand dunes that four-wheel-drive enthusiasts can explore because of the many trails. Listen to the sound of the Roaring Sands, admire the black-maned male lion, the cheetah, the leopard, and the brown hyenas; find yourself in a bird watchers paradise.

The Southern and Eastern Capes are a beach-lovers dream with miles of golden sand. Visit the Wilderness, one of South Africa's most important holiday resorts, visit the Lake District, dive in the Knysna lagoon to marvel at the sea horses.

For a change of scenery you will have several excellent opportunities for big game viewing in the reserves and parks of this area and all of Eastern South Africa. The Kruger National Park is the country's first and most popular game reserve, where you can find all the commotion of the animal kingdom of Africa in one place. See you there!
