WPD10Jf: Wedding: Kruger Park + Mauritius

Day 1

You will be met at Mpumalanga Airport and meet and introduced you to the beauty of the Eastern Transvaal on your 2-hour drive to your luxury game lodge in the world famous Kruger National Park.

Game-viewing opportunities should present themselves almost immediately in this vast 2-million hectare game sanctuary. Hopefully you will see several species of antelope, zebra, wildebeest and maybe even giraffe before we reach your lodge.

Check in, settle-in and relax in your bushveld surroundings and enjoy your first safari game drive in an open-top game viewing vehicle accompanied by a lodge ranger, in search of the Big 5. Later enjoy dining under clear African skies!

Day 2

Set off early this morning on an open-top game viewing drive with your lodge ranger, to take advantage of the best game viewing conditions of the day.

Explore the vast Kruger Plains, which offer magnificent game viewing opportunities and the highest concentration of lion in the whole of Africa. Hopefully we will see several of the Big 5 today - Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Leopard and Rhino – before returning to the lodge for breakfast.

The rest of the morning is free for relaxing at the lodge or beside the swimming pool.

In the afternoon enjoy another open-top game drive with your ranger. With nearly 150 different species of mammals and over 100 species of reptiles in the Kruger Park, we hope to see hippos, crocodiles, cheetah, giraffe, kudu, sable antelope, waterbuck, warthogs, baboons, wild dogs and a wide variety of other interesting animals. With over 500 different bird species in the park, outstanding bird watching is also guaranteed - including eagles, vultures, storks, fish eagles and kingfishers.

In the evening, enjoy the balmy weather and pristine stars of the Southern Sky and Milky Way, as you have never seen them before – including the spectacular Southern Cross.

Day 3

Wake at leisure on this your WEDDING DAY.

Around midday meet your Marriage Officer to discuss your wedding and the significance of the commitment you are about to make to each other. This is your opportunity to raise any special requests you may have regarding the ceremony.

Then relax and enjoy every moment of this your special day, without any of the pressures of a formal wedding, as you exchange vows in one of the world’s greatest conservation areas in a uniquely African setting under warm blue skies! Your photographer will record special moments, as you create memories of a lifetime.

After exchanging your vows, toast your marriage with champagne. Then enjoy a celebratory game drive at sunset, followed by a romantic dinner under the stars in the atmosphere that only the African bushveld can provide.

Day 4

Enjoy breakfast in bed this morning as Mr and Mrs!

Later transfer to Mpumalanga Airport for your 2-hour flight to Johannesburg and connecting 4-hour flight to Mauritius.
