Dream Wedding at Side by Side Safaris

For a long time, we envisaged a unique wedding, one that would truly stand apart. As soon as we discovered Side by Side Safaris, we knew it was our dream destination. We were especially fascinated by the enchanting settings and the nearly surreal luxury lodging located right in the heart of South Africa's game-rich savannah. We had expectations for a wedding that was just as magical.

And those expectations were fully met!

The Wedding Day

To say that our experience with Side by Side Safaris was unforgettable would still be an understatement. The entire arrangement from the ceremony to the party and our accommodation was meticulously considered down to the smallest detail by the Danish host family. The ceremony, made all the more romantic with soft guitar music playing, was held by a riverbed near a small waterfall. The celebration took place in a lavish English-colonial-style building, adorned for the festivities with everything from African taxidermy trophies to the most beautiful table settings. The food was beyond anything one could dream of, blending local delicacies and European-inspired dishes, all enhanced by music that danced to our every sense. The luxurious accommodation consisted of large, thatched family huts, featuring among other things a jacuzzi, minibar, bathtub, and the most stunning views of the wild untouched nature.

The Following Days

Initially, we harbored concerns about the potential for the ensuing days to be lengthy for our guests. After all, we were a group of 50, staying for 6 days. Thankfully, Side by Side Safaris commands a vast nature reserve, ensuring the days sped past filled with photographic safaris, pool parties, mountain hikes, afternoon drinks, and quality time with family and friends around the campfire. Indeed, there was also time for hunting for those enthusiasts among us.

Highlights of the African Dream Wedding

The opportunity to hold the biggest celebration of our lives in such surroundings, alongside family and friends, is an experience that will always be etched in our hearts! Another highlight was the entire sequence of capturing wedding photos, unfolding in the most beautiful selected locations on the open savanna and in the mountains, against the backdrop of rich wildlife.

Family-Friendly Luxury Safari

Our family constitutes many minors, therefore, it was essential for us to opt for a safari destination where children could take center stage. On the day of arrival itself, the entire team behind Side by Side Safaris displayed an immense commitment to meeting all conceivable needs around the many children. Almost instantaneously, we found ourselves in capable hands, experiencing a sense of tranquility that allowed us to relax, enjoy each other, our family, and our dream wedding.

Recommendation

We cannot possibly recommend Side by Side Safaris enough. If you dream of a genuine adventure wedding in the heart of Africa, this is the place for you. Here, you will not only experience an unforgettable wedding, but also an adventure that surpasses all expectations.

We are deeply grateful that Side by Side Safaris made our dream wedding a reality.

“I must confess, I am the kind of woman who has always meticulously planned her wedding in her mind. It turned out to be even better than my wildest dreams.”
