Six countries, and what it actually takes to marry in each of them — the season, the supplier base, and what your guests are in for.
South Africa
The winelands an hour from Cape Town are the region's most photographed wedding landscape, and for good reason: estates that host weddings every weekend of the season, a supplier base deep enough that you can compare four quotes for anything, and guest accommodation on site.
Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is one of Africa’s most breathtaking destination wedding locations, offering couples an unforgettable blend of natural beauty, romance and authentic African hospitality.
Botswana
Botswana is a small-wedding country: the Chobe riverfront and the Okavango lodges do thirty guests beautifully and two hundred not at all.
Namibia
Namibia is for couples who want the photographs to look like nowhere else: dunes at Sossusvlei, the coast at Swakopmund, and a light in the last hour of the day that photographers talk about the way other people talk about weather.
Mauritius
The easiest destination wedding in the region to actually organise: resorts on the east and west coasts run weddings as a product, with in-house coordinators, packages that include the legal paperwork, and a supplier list they will hand you.
Lesotho
The least-planned wedding destination in the region, which is the whole appeal.
Finding the perfect place for your guests to stay shouldn’t be another thing on your wedding checklist.
