From the lush greens of the savannah after the summer rains to the copper hues of an autumn sunset, wonderfully warm Lowveld winter days or the new beauty of spring, Thornybush is a magical safari wedding venue at any time of the year.
Whether you love the idea of a classic wedding celebration or prefer a more intimate blessing, there is little to beat the romance of getting married in the heart of the African bush. At Thornybush, we are passionate about creating memories that last a lifetime, so we take exceptional care to ensure our bridal couples – and their guests – experience a dream safari wedding.
