When it comes to choosing your wedding venue, you need a location that reflects your needs, desires, and values. A venue that highlights your unique love story, where your wedding can be thoroughly celebrated with the people you love. You need a venue like Shikwari Nature Reserve. Tucked away near Hoedspruit in Limpopo, the reserve offers you and your significant other a relaxed and personal approach to bush weddings. Surrounded by natural vegetation and mountain views, this intimate reserve allows for a more laid-back celebration while effortlessly capturing the beauty of the African wilderness.
Weddings Surrounded by the Beauty of the Wild
What has set Shikwari Nature Reserve apart from larger lodges is its approachable and customisable nature, because at Shikwari, your wedding is all about you. Everything is customisable with no fixed format, allowing you and your significant other to design a wedding that feels relaxed, personal, and connected to nature.
When booking Shikwari as your venue, you are able to choose everything from your décor, menu, and overall style, allowing your celebration to feel truly unique. Ceremonies are usually held outdoors, with the breathtaking natural surroundings forming the backdrop, while receptions can take place under the Bedouin-style tents or within the lodge’s grounds.
Shikwari Nature Reserve caters to many kinds of celebrations, from intimate gatherings of close friends and family to larger ceremonies, making it adaptable to different sizes and budgets. Depending on which of their three wedding packages you select, you and between 20 and 100 friends and family can access items such as candles for tables, flower décor, a cake and specials on accommodation.
Dining is another flexible element at Shikwari. Each wedding package offers you anything from casual braai-style meals to more formal multi-course options, depending on your preferences. It’s with this adaptability that it makes it easy to create a wedding experience that feels personal and suited to you.
Accommodation and Activities
At Shikwari Nature Reserve, accommodation is designed to be comfortable while maintaining a connection to nature. In the Shikwari Suites, sit back and unwind in one of six luxury thatched suites, each positioned to offer you and your guests’ privacy and views of the surrounding bush. These suites include en-suite bathrooms, outdoor showers, and private patios, creating a relaxed and immersive stay for your guests.
If you and your guests are looking for a more affordable accommodation option, just 500 metres from the main lodge, the Pangolin Rondavels offer a relaxing stay. Each room is well-equipped with comfortable amenities such as ceiling fans, and your guests can gather for a traditional braai in the nearby boma, ensuring the celebration can go on longer than the wedding itself.
Embark on activities like bush walks where you and your guests can encounter the wildlife that call the reserve home. Meanwhile, during an animal feeding adventure, you can stroke the zebra stallion, Little Boy, an activity that few other locations offer. Your guests can also enjoy guided activities such as a full-day Big Five Kruger Park trip or a boat cruise down the Blyde River Canyon.
