BUSH WEDDING VENUE

Once you fall in love with the African bush, it is hard to imagine getting married anywhere else. Colin’s Horseback Africa is the best choice for an intimate and personal wedding for a couple who love horses and lions. The emphasis is on authentic values of eternal love, family and friendship and things that really matter in life, instead of “putting on a show”.

FANCY ARRIVING ON A HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE?

The garden ceremonies usually take place on the lawn in front of the lodge, but there is also a Bush Chapel up in the mountains. There is also an opportunity to enter into the ceremony with a horse-drawn carriage. Should it be a rainy day, the ceremony will be moved to the large rustic barn with the tractor, wooden ladders and paraffin lamps as a backdrop. A marquee tent is also an option.

The bride will have the opportunity to express herself in the most natural way and, if she chooses, be completely involved in the making of her own very special day. The groom will not have to “put on airs” to impress his friends as he can just be himself. This is genuinely the place for the free-spirited couple.

WHY ARE OUR BUSH WEDDINGS SO POPULAR?

In addition to the bridal couple having the freedom to ‘shape’ their own special day, bush weddings are also unique and memorable in that the décor is harvested from nature itself as a token of everlasting affection between two people.

With regards to Cuisine, the bridal couple can choose either the in-house option from The Wild Horse Restaurant, or they are welcome to bring in an external caterer.

The Lodge will also cater for traditional weddings if preferred.
