The cost of a wedding in Africa is one of the major benefits of getting married in the African bush or an Indian Ocean island. An African destination wedding package is not only very romantic, it is also affordable! You can get married in Africa, go on honeymoon for a week or two and the cost of all this will still be lower than getting married in Europe, Australia, UK or America (that’s including the airfare). You can plan your wedding and honeymoon in Africa from start to finish.

One of the most popular wedding destinations is South Africa, mainly due to its well developed infra structure and the availability of a wide range of exceptional wedding venues. Cape Town, the Garden Route, KwaZulu Natal’s Midlands, the Drakensberg, Kruger National Park and the Waterberg are but a few wedding destinations to consider. Other popular African wedding destinations are Kenya’s Masai Mara, Namibia’s Namib Desert, Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago and Zambia’s Victoria Falls.
