Where better to celebrate the union of two soul mates than under an ancient Marula Tree on the banks of the meandering Sabie River …The exclusive Lion Sands Private Game Reserve is able to tailor make a wedding celebration which is completely unique and in true African custom. The couple will be able to pledge their vows in the company of close friends, relatives and the African wilderness.

After the ceremony all will be invited to share in the wedding feast, prepared and served in the open savannah under the illuminated Southern Sky. Singing and dancing will continue long into the night until the morning star has risen in the east signifying the beginning of their new journey together.
