South Africa Wedding and Honeymoon Destination
South Africa is one of the prime wedding and honeymoon destinations of the world. Astounding in its beauty, South Africa is home to pristine cities, dramatic scenery and safari delights. Notable attractions include the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town, Table Mountain, Zulu Villages and the Wine Route on the Western Cape. From Table Bay harbour, take a boat trip to Robben Island or head inland to see if you can spot the Big Five! Whether it's an action-packed honeymoon you're seeking or a more relaxed one, South Africa won't disappoint. What adds to the value of this wedding and honeymoon destination is its affordable prices due to the favorable exchange rate.
South Africa offers remarkable richness of contrasts. There are the sharp-edged summits of the Drakensberg Mountains, the fertile coastal region of KwaZulu-Natal and the vast lands of never ending horizons and mysterious fauna of the inland.
South Africa's seasons are exactly contrary to those in Europe. Clear differences exist between the moderate climate of the interior and the Mediterranean climate of the coasts. South Africa can be visited all year round.

The Addo Elephant National Parkis situated approximately 75 kmnorth of Port Elizabeth in the Sundays River valley. The park is the home of a herd of 316 elephants. This herd is the only one, which is living so far south in Africa. In former times one believed, that those elephants are a sub-species of the African Elephant. But research has proved, that the elephants in fact arethe African Elephants. Their salient red colour they get from the red earth. The female elephants do not have tusks.
The Gorah Elephant Lodge is situated in the park. The Gorah House was built in 1856 and is now a National Monument. The Gorah House has two dining rooms, two living rooms, one library, one Curio Shop and a water hole in front of the main terrace. There is also a Boma with pool and sun terrace, where you can enjoy dinner. An experienced ranger will take you on game drives or discover the nature horse riding, hiking or cycling.
You will be accommodated in luxury tents. Please note, that the Camp has no electricity. In the tents are solar lamps but no plug sockets.
Every day the elephants are coming up to the main house to drink out of the small water hole, a daily nature event! These are the settings in which your wedding will be arranged. The terrace looks as in the classic feature film "Out of Africa".
