Safari Elopement in South Africa

Are you thinking about a Safari Elopement in South Africa? If you dream about getting married somewhere unique and special and have always wanted to go on safari, we have something very special for you: Combine these two amazing experiences into one unforgettable, incredible elopement day in South Africa! Enjoy an overnight stay for two at a classy South African game lodge, in our biggest Big 5 reserve - the Greater Kruger National Park. Say your I Do's surrounded by the South African bushveld, while on a game drive.

• The exact times of your elopement itinerary depend on the time of the sunset. These are rough time estimates for your Safari elopement in South Africa.

• 2:00 PM

  Start getting dressed and ready for your wedding ceremony later in the afternoon. This will include hair and makeup for the bride(s) as well as quick solo photo shoots for the couple while getting ready and before the ceremony. Allow 1,5 hours for this.

• 3:30 PM

  We’ll start with a first look so that you can see each other looking amazing and ready to get married.

  We will then move to the ceremony area. The ceremony area depends on the chosen lodge and game reserve rules. The marriage officer will perform your ceremony. Once done, you will toast each other with a cold glass of bubbly.

• 4:00PM

  We then go on a late afternoon game drive to do a newly-wed couple shoot and see what animals we can see.

• 5:30 PM

  Once the sun has gone down, we will return to the lodge, where you will freshen up in your room and sit down to a romantic South African style dinner for two.

You are welcome to extend your stay on either side of your wedding, at your own cost. You are also welcome to invite guests, at your own cost.
