Wedding Safari

Wedding safaris Begin your big day with a game drive or walking safari, arrive at the altar on horseback and get married with Mt Kilimanjaro in the background and local Maasai as witnesses.

An amazing safari wedding welcome combines raw African wilderness with luxury hospitality. Signature arrival touches include chilled champagne (or sparkling local juices) at the bush airstrip, hand-carved wooden welcome boards, scented hot towels infused with lemongrass, and traditional Maasai warrior song-and-dance greetings.

Arrival & Camp Welcome Amenities

Personal butler or safari guide waiting with chilled bubbly, fresh fruit skewers, and cold botanical-infused hand towels.

Unpack to a bed draped with local wild-flower petals, bottles of fine wine, a handwritten parchment itinerary, and woven sisal baskets.

Custom canvas tote bags containing insect repellent wipes, high-factor mineral sunscreen, a pocket Swahili-English phrasebook, and a customized leather-bound safari journal.

The bride steps out from her tent, resplendent in her wedding gown, perhaps, embellished with delicate, traditional Maasai bead jewelry. Maasai warriors now line the path to the altar, holding spears and other traditional weapons, forming a striking red escort. The groom awaits on a grassy patch with maybe, the shade of acacia umbrella tree overhead while the nuptial minister stands by, ready to officiate a union of two souls.
