South Africa, with all it has to offer, is swiftly becoming the ultimate wedding destination for those seeking a wedding with a difference.
Imagine … a wedding ceremony in the heart of the African bushveld with a herd of elephant sipping water at a nearby waterhole…taking a romantic walk in the beautiful lush vineyards nestled in the Banhoek Valley… a romantic cruise on the Vaal River, sipping champagne whilst watching the beautiful African sun set.
The Zorgvliet Portfolio has all of this to offer and more . . .
