Wedding Packages

Makanyi Lodge, set amid the unspoiled African bushveld is the most unforgettable dreamscape for an idyllic South African wedding. Be it an intimate ceremony for just the bride and groom or a celebration with friends and family, we are more than happy to assist with the arrangements to make memories that last a lifetime for the happy couple.

* The law in South Africa requires foreign couples to attend an appointment at the Department of Home Affairs before they can be legally married in South Africa. Since this is time consuming, we suggest that you process all legal marriage documents in your home country.
