Special Occasions: South Africa Honeymoons & Weddings

South Africa honeymoons, weddings and intimate special occasions Kalahari desert dune patterns Exceptional wedding choices & cuisine for the special bridal couple at Tswalu Kalahari Reserve

Tswalu, where time is measured in the shifting colours of an infinite sky….where better to embark on a new life with your soul mate to celebrate the event that must forever stand out in your memory. Tswalu game reserve has designed three exceptional wedding choices for the special bridal couple which will enable you to brand your celebration with unique touches.

The Sand Celebration is ideal for the couple who seek that special corner away from the fuss and stress of guests and the fanfare of a big wedding.

There is a choice of a variety of stunning venues in the camp or in the bush, where the minister will perform a unique and beautiful wedding ceremony.

French champagne and a magnificent Tswalu wedding cake will put the seal on your new life together.
You can choose to bring the evening to an end with a private deck dinner under the glittering kalahari stars – otherwise known as "the diamond skies".
Breakfast in bed on the morning after the wedding – or perhaps a 30 minute massage to prepare for the rigours of game viewing.
Of course all the standard inclusions apply.
Prior to the wedding, Tswalu will ensure that the wedding couple’s clothes are perfectly pressed and the bride will have a separate room, subject to availability, to prepare for her great moment.
A specially selected wedding gift will put the stamp on this never-to-be-forgotten occasion.

This package is based on 3 nights stay for the bridal couple only.
Rates: R37 000 - All inclusive of accommodation

Our Boitumelo Celebration – aptly named since the word "boitumelo" in Tswana means "happy" - has been designed specifically for the couple who seek that special intimacy, but want a touch more pizzazz and flamboyance! Not only are all the privileges of the sand celebration included, you can also enjoy:

The services of a professional photographer who will take up to 150 pictures of the bride and groom and forward them to any address in the world and;
Within an hour of the pictures being taken, they can be emailed to addresses provided in advance.
A bridal bouquet and button-hole flower for the groom will add that touch of glamour and beauty.
Of course all the excitement and exhiliration can be fatiguing, so an hour’s massage for both bride and groom will ensure that you are destressed and prepared for the challenges!
Each day a private vehicle will be waiting for you so that you can embark on gloriously romantic and intimate safaris to experience the spectacular beauty of the kalahari and watch the stunning sunsets over the dunes.
When available, a private game viewer will provide you with fascinating insights to desert wildlife and nature.
On one special night a private bedroom will be set up for you under a mosquito net on the rolling dunes, so that you can savour the awe-inspiring beauty of a kalahari night under the stars…..

Our Neo Celebration is for those who want to share their happiness and excitement with their friends, including all the advantages of the sand and boitumelo celebrations.

Tswalu has prepared special rates per guest, and even provides disposable cameras to record all those special moments.
The couple can also choose to hold a private boy’s and girl’s party before the wedding, which would certainly prove to be a hit!
Beautiful additional touches include a bridal bouquet, button-holes for the groom and party and table flowers to add colour and glamour.
An African choir with all its incredible richness and harmony will tinge the whole ceremony with a unique african flavour.
A romantic aura is added with a special wedding turn-down in the room and the couple can still enjoy their intimate moments the day after the wedding with a horse-ride out to the dunes for romantic sundowners.
