South Africa Wedding and Honeymoon Destination
South Africa
is one of the prime wedding and honeymoon destinations of the world. Astounding
in its beauty, South Africa is home to pristine cities, dramatic scenery and
safari delights. Notable attractions include the Victoria
and Alfred Waterfront in Cape
Town, Table
Mountain, Zulu
Villages and the Wine
Route on the Western Cape. From Table Bay harbour, take a boat trip to Robben
Island or head inland to see if you can spot the Big Five! Whether it's
an action-packed honeymoon you're seeking or a more relaxed one, South Africa
won't disappoint. What adds to the value of this wedding and honeymoon destination
is its affordable prices due to the favorable exchange rate.
South Africa offers remarkable richness of contrasts. There are the
sharp-edged summits of the Drakensberg
Mountains, the fertile coastal region
of KwaZulu-Natal and the vast lands of never ending horizons and mysterious
fauna of the inland.
South Africa's seasons are exactly contrary to those in Europe. Clear
differences exist between the moderate climate of the interior and the
Mediterranean climate of the coasts. South Africa can be visited all year
round.
- How many days should be taken into account for a wedding
in South Africa?
In principle a couple can be married soon after their arrival as

copies of the first 6 pages.

The Addo Elephant National Park is situated approximately 75 km
north of Port Elizabeth in the Sundays
River valley. The park is the home of a herd of 316 elephants. This herd
is the only one, which is living so far south in Africa. In former times one
believed, that those elephants are a sub-species of the African Elephant. But
research has proved, that the elephants in fact are the African Elephants.
Their salient red colour they get from the red earth. The female elephants do
not have tusks.
The Gorah Elephant Lodge is situated in the park. The Gorah
House was built in 1856 and is now a National Monument. The Gorah House
has two dining rooms, two living rooms, one library, one Curio Shop and
a water hole in front of the main terrace. There is also a Boma with
pool and sun terrace, where you can enjoy dinner. An experienced ranger
will take you on game drives or discover the nature horse riding, hiking
or cycling.
You will be accommodated in luxury tents. Please note, that the Camp has
no electricity. In the tents are solar lamps but no plug sockets.
Every day the elephants are coming up to the main house to drink out
of the small water hole, a daily nature event! These are the settings in
which your wedding will be arranged. The terrace looks as in the classic
feature film "Out of Africa".
