Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge

Experience the ideal start to married life with an exclusive, intimate wedding at Sabi Sabi. A background of Africa's unspoiled bush, an award-winning, luxury lodge and a professional organising team to see to every detail, makes an Earth Lodge wedding idyllic and memorable.

The choice of settings, menus and times makes each wedding unique, and the lodge's distinct design ensures a style to meet any requirements. From lavish to low-key, every celebration can be tailored to specific requirements and is overseen by the professional team, leaving the wedding couple to relax and enjoy every moment of their special day.

Earth Lodge is sculpted into the earth - hence its name - and was designed to be virtually invisible from the exterior. Twelve spacious suites feature every luxury including a huge en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers; a beautifully hand carved and unique wooden bed, private plunge pool and personal butler. The Amber Suite is ideal for the wedding couple, featuring a beautiful bedroom and bathroom, lounge, private dining area and private gym. The bride and other guests can make use of the Earth Nature Spa, which offers a full range of beauty and wellness therapies to relax and prepare for the 'big day'.

Add to this the unforgettable safari experience that is synonymous with Sabi Sabi and the stage is set for the wedding of a lifetime. The reserve is blessed with a great diversity of habitat and wildlife giving an excellent chance of close encounters with the Big 5 - lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino - and all species indigenous to the area. Here visitors will experience ever-changing landscapes and rhythms: from the clear light of dawn, to the pastel haze of late afternoon, the fiery sunsets and the sudden onset of night. Against this backdrop, animals and birds abound as they have done for centuries - undisturbed and unfenced.

The wedding blessing itself can take place looking out onto the bush, and the celebration afterwards can be hosted in the Earth Lodge dining area, in the outdoor boma or in the beautiful underground wine cellar. Whatever the choice, the cuisine will reflect the setting and be prepared by the lodge's renowned chef.

For those couples who have been married at home with friends and family, what better way to embark on married life than with a romantic, relaxing honeymoon at Earth Lodge? Honeymooners from all over the world have enjoyed the tailored packages that include a honeymoon suite, private candlelight dinners, petal-strewn beds, flower baskets and champagne.

The relaxing rhythm of the bush provides the perfect setting to relax and reflect and prepare for the years ahead. Morning and evening game drives, bush walks, excellent cuisine, a health spa and Zen meditation garden are all part of Earth Lodge's unique character.
