South African Wedding-Moon
I’ve decided I may have to give up traveling, as I recently returned from the greatest trip of my life, and I can’t imagine anything ever comparing.
Okay part of that is an exaggeration ;). I did spend the last two weeks of March in South Africa for my “wedding-moon” - part-wedding, part honeymoon - and it was absolutely magnificent!
Our 14 nights in South Africa included Johannesburg, safari (and wedding) in the Sabi Sands, Cape Town, the Winelands, and a gorgeous private nature reserve on the coast, about two hours south of Cape Town. It was the perfect combination of city/action and leisure/relaxation – a balance I often strive to reach for my clients as well.
The wedding day was better than I could have dreamt. It started with the usual game drive (I never miss one when in Africa!) and a leisurely breakfast at Dulini River Lodge (which is looking BEAUTIFUL after recent renovations). My now-husband Dave and I then split up to get ready, and the wonderful staff at the lodge made sure I had everything I needed – including bubbles of course!
The ceremony went off without a hitch, despite temperatures breaking 100 degrees that afternoon. The team at Dulini River Lodge could not have been more wonderful throughout the whole process, and I truly felt like we were (and will forever be) part of their extended family. Since we didn’t invite anyone (sorry, mom!), we had one main focus after exchanging vows: get on the game drive vehicle with our photographer and find animals to be in our wedding photos! Luckily the Sabi Sands is one of the best areas to find wildlife year-round, and the elephants in particular didn’t disappoint!
My love for South Africa seems to grow with each visit, as it is such a diverse country with an incredibly wide variety of experiences to offer. Whether for a wedding, a honeymoon, an anniversary, or just a vacation to escape the weather or work back home, South Africa is always a great option. Are you looking to experience the magic of South Africa? Get in touch and I’d love to help!
