Tsala Treetop Lodge, Western Cape

The Western Cape has some pretty cute spots perfect for a bride and groom looking to escape, but who wouldn’t want to feel like the modern-day Jane and Tarzan with this tree-top adventure.

Zimbali Lodge, KwaZulu Natal

Who said we need to travel all the way to Bali? Zimbali Lodge is nestled in a coastal forest reserve and offers guests plenty of “Balinese” charm without ever needing to leave South Africa. Grab your surfboard and catch a few waves, or spending your evenings sipping cocktails and enjoying the sprawling swimming pool. This spot is sure to be a paradise for lovers or nature lovers.

Sasi Bush Lodge, Northern Drakensberg

You don’t need to travel far to experience the pitter-patter of snow falling. The Drakensberg is a popular destination for those looking for a snowy escape and there’s nothing more gorgeous than a ‘winter’ wedding. Sasi Bush Lodge is a glamping experience like no other that offers incredible views of the Drakensberg Mountains and a range of  tents that get you close to nature without ever feeling like you’re ‘roughing it.’

Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Eastern Cape

The Big Five, a rugged landscape, and serenity – that’s all you need, right? Kwandwe Private Game Reserve is a hidden gem in the Eastern Cape and is the perfect spot to put your feet up and enjoy newlywed bliss. There are several accommodation options to choose from that provide jaw-dropping panoramic views.

Ulusaba Private Game Reserve

Ever wanted to take a peek inside a billionaire’s private game reserve? Well, now’s your chance. Ulusaba Private Game Reserve is owned by Sir Richard Branson, but apart from that small fact, the property is incredible. Nestled in the Sabi Sabi area and built high upon a cliff, the lodges offer amazing views and luxury. Spend your days discovering the wildlife in this area with daily safari trips before catching the sunrise while cooling off in one of the swimming pools.
