WEDDINGS

At Garonga

Your wedding is one of the most memorable days of your life. A destination wedding in South Africa makes it even more unforgettable. Garonga Safari Co. offers you a place of tranquillity combined with the romance of nature and wildlife. We assist with all the event details so all you need to do is live out your dream wedding in style.

The Ceremony

Your wedding ceremony can take place in any of the stunning areas at Safari Camp, Little Garonga or MCH. For a backdrop of incredible views, there is the Sleep Out Deck or say ‘I do’ in the middle of the bush itself. Little Garonga is an excellent exclusive-use venue to accommodate your closest family and friends for post-ceremony celebrations.

The Garonga staff are highly capable of catering to your individual needs and creating a truly unforgettable wedding day for you. Before the ceremony, indulge in a delicious breakfast followed by a relaxing massage. Afterwards, enjoy a light lunch on an elevated deck or game drive in the bush with some bubbly, followed by a romantic soak in the Bush Bath or Star Bath.

Garonga Ethos

Safari Camp

Game drives are at the heart of the Garonga experience, allowing you to encounter the Big 5 and other wildlife up close. Your stay will typically include a morning and afternoon game drive in our open-air Land Rovers. Two of our experienced and qualified guides will lead you through the bush, impressing you with their knowledge of the great variety of wildlife in the reserve. Their tracking skills are exceptional, giving them the advantage of locating animals based on their recent movements and enabling your safari sightings dreams to come true. On a morning game drive, as the animals are waking up, tuck into tea, coffee and snacks in the bush. Then, in the late afternoon, sip on a cocktail or glass of wine as the sun slowly dips below the horizon. In addition to the Big 5 (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, and rhino), look out for cheetah, spotted hyena, black rhino, African wild dog, hippos, crocodiles, diverse plains animals and colourful birdlife.
