Overview

The Ceremony

Say ‘I do’ in the heart of the South African bush, on the edge of the dam where the hippos come to play or from the deck at Rock Lodge – the possibilities are endless and it’s totally up to you. You may decide to wait until you arrive at Ulusaba to choose your preferred location, but here are just some of our favourites:

The Reception

There are almost as many choices of location for your reception as there are for your ceremony. The location will also be dependent on the size of your group.

Bachelor and Bachelorette parties

Ulusaba is not just a great place for a wedding - it’s also an amazing setting for your bachelor or bachelorette party - otherwise known as stag and hen parties. Our only piece of advice? Don’t plan these parties the night before the wedding!

In addition to parties in the evening, we’ve also organised some daytime activities. Here are just a couple of ideas:

For the boys…

A trip to the Xikwenga Dam for a spot of fishing - the rule is: if you catch it you have to eat it. We’ll have a braai ready just for this purpose.  Afterwards our Rangers will organise ‘bush Olympics’ with prizes for the star performers…

For the g i r ls…

An indulgent spa morning. All the girls get together around the Safari Lodge pool after breakfast for some serious pampering. Our two Aroma Boma spa therapists will be on hand for heavenly manicures and pedicures while you enjoy a spot of swimming, sunbathing and the odd sip (or two!) of champagne (additional charges will apply for this activity which is only available when both lodges are hired exclusively)

How big a wedding can I have?

Ulusaba has 21 rooms and suites spread over two lodges. Rock Lodge is perched high on the summit of a koppie with views over the South African bush below. Nearly 500 metres away is Safari Lodge. Built along the banks of a dry riverbed, Safari Lodge guests cross swing bridges between the exquisite tree house style rooms.  There are restrictions in place in the Sabi Sand Reserve on the number of guests and vehicles permitted at any one time and so the maximum number of guests we can accommodate when both Rock and Safari Lodges are booked exclusively is 42. Hired separately, the maximum number we can accommodate at Rock Lodge is 20, and the maximum number of guests at Safari Lodge is 22.
