5 Reasons to Host Your Wedding at Madikwe Hills

20 January 2022

Searching for a safari wedding venue in South Africa? Madikwe Hills Private Game Lodge caters for small and intimate weddings of up to 24 guests. Here’s why you should consider us as your dream bush wedding venue.

1. Incredible Ceremony & Reception Settings

Both the wedding ceremony and reception typically take place in the heart of the bushveld or on the main deck of the lodge overlooking an active waterhole, although this is entirely up to the bride and groom. We can think of no better place to celebrate your union than surrounded by the relaxing sounds of nature, under the great African sky.

2. Convenient Location Just 5 Hours From Johannesburg

Madikwe Hills is approximately 4.5 hours drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria in the North West Province. We will gladly assist you and your guests with road or flight transfers to our nearby airstrip through our reliable partners.

3. Stunning Backdrops for Your Wedding Photographs

A pictures speaks 1000 words so we’ll let them do the talking.

4. Honeymoon Suite Bliss

The Honeymoon Suite at Madikwe Hills is set high up on a hill with jaw-dropping views over the lush wilderness. The suite features a private plunge pool, an outside shower, a spacious lounge, four-poster king size beds, a stocked mini-bar and air conditioning. With scenic views of a watering hole, you’ll be almost guaranteed wildlife sightings from the comfort of your private deck. You won’t be able to resist the claw-foot bath tub built into a well-concealed outdoor corner for a secluded soak.

5. A Built-in Safari Honeymoon Destination

Not only is Madikwe Hills a dreamy venue for a bush wedding, the reserve is also an unforgettable destination for a honeymoon. Think twice daily game drives, dining under the stars every night and game viewing while having your morning coffee. Why not extend your wedding to include a built-in romantic safari honeymoon in the bush? We also recommend combining a stay at Madikwe Hills with a stay at other luxury lodges nearby for more well-rounded start to your lives together. Check out our packages here.
