Romance in the bushveld

A weekend in the bushveld can certainly do wonders for stress levels. The peace and serenity that is offered can really rejuvinate the soul and detox the system. The sunsets, the quietness of the night, the beauty of the flames as the staff get a small fire going, waking to the birds singing and so much more, is what makes the bushveld so special. We often advise couples to drop things in the city and take a weekend break into the bushveld. Many anniversary couples tell us how the beauty of the bushveld has rekindled the romance in their relationship and so many couples try to do this romantic weekender at least three or four times a year. It’s good for the soul besides the awesome cuisine and the pampering done by the staff. The romantic picnic by the dam seems to be at the top of many couples list and the sunset game drives are a simply “must do”. Bushveld romance has topped the charts in South Africa for couples (regardless of age), wanting to get away, be pampered, relax and fall in love all over again.

Weddings on Safari|Bushveld Safari Weddings

Safari Bush Weddings are very romantic and filled with fun. Brides on safari are normally very relaxed and the ceremony is done in the middle of the bushveld with wildlife peeping through their hideaways, trying to make sense of what is happening. Most times the wedding party is small and everyone is comfortably sitting in the landviewer/cruiser that is used especially for bushveld sunset safari cruises.

The cruiser leaves the lodge just before sunset and the party are taken into the bush as the African skies start to burst into colour as the sun says goodday to the mountains and meadows and grassy veld that seems to go on for miles and miles and miles. The minister and photographer are along on the safari and the ceremony takes place with the sunset as a backdrop. Everyone shares a champagne toast after the vows have been exchanged before returning to the lodge where the bridal couple and their guests (if they have any) are served a delicious bushveld bridal dinner to be remembered … always and forever.

The luxury honeymoon tent is sprinkled with rose petals, champagne on ice and loads of little “extras” that add to the romance. Bridal couples can stay on for a honeymoon, be it 3 nights or more with plenty of activities to keep them busy and plenty of peace and tranquility to heal the mind and soul and spa treatments to rid the body of any built up stresses. And…. with romantic picnics, bushveld wine tasting tours, microlighting, hiking and so much more on the activities list, bridal coupes normally return to the African bushveld lodge over and over and over again. An experience that is truly Africa in every sense of the word and treasured by couples throughout the world.

Bush Weddings in Africa

Bushveld weddings in Africa are very popular for couples around the world and tying the knot under the African skies is one of the most sought after wedding packages around the globe today. There are millions of these bush wedding packages available throughout Africa, from budget ones right through to over the top luxury ones, and each one done uniquely for the couple based on requirements and budget.

We have viewed many photo albums collected from clients and friends who tied the knot in the bush and one common denominator is the African sunset. Breathtaking doesn’t even begin to describe the beauty given off by an African sunset. The excitement of having natural wildlife witness your exchange of vows in the bushveld is difficult to explain and many couples feel that the bushveld weddings are the most romantic of all wedding packages on offer today. In true African style, the atmosphere is relaxed and everyone seems to go with the flow of the day.

South Africa has the very beautiful Dinokeng area on the outskirts of Gauteng where a game reserve will be opening first quarter of 2010 and slap bang in the middle of this proposed game reserve is the Tamboti Bush Lodge where bushveld weddings are done, almost on a weekly basis and not just on weekends. Safari and bushveld weddings are done during the week at sunset as well. Couples have a variety of venue options to choose from and can choose picnic receptions, champagne breakfast receptions, luxury braais and even sit down a la carte in the restaurant.

Bushveld weddings, honeymoons, anniversary and even bushveld romantic getaways are fast becoming number one venues for romance in South Africa and the team at the Travelling Bride agree whole heartedly judging by the feedback received from all of our clients.
