Our Story
After years of groen mambas, gravel roads and adventures that rarely went according to plan — we are saying YES under the African sky. We can't imagine a better backdrop or better people to share it with than you.
— Arno & Simoné
The beginning
It started with a German song and a late night under the stars — and we haven't really stopped talking since.
Somewhere along the way
A small Jimny, packed three times past sensible, the electricity giving up somewhere along the way — that's where we knew, whatever the challenge, we'd take it on together.
March 2025
Three hours of nervous wandering, a proposal video that failed to record, and a ring that nearly got lost along the way — the question was the easy part.
The Weekend
Join us for the whole weekend or just the main event.
From 17:00 · Lapa fire pit
Roll in, drop your bags, grab a drink. We are firing up the coals — prego's, steak house chips and stories under the stars. Casual all the way — plakkies and shorts are perfect.
Ceremony 15:30 · Reception to follow
Outdoor ceremony at the bushveld chapel, drinks & canapés on the deck, then a long-table dinner and dancing until the bushbabies tell us to stop.
09:00 – 11:30 · Main lodge
A slow Sunday breakfast — eggs, bacon, French toast, mimosas and one last coffee together before everyone hits the road. Come in your comfies.

Open in Google MapsDress Code
For the wedding day: long dresses, suits or chinos with a blazer. Earthy tones welcome — and here is the palette we are celebrating in:
Any shade welcome — lighter or deeper, all good.
Evenings can cool down — bring a shawl or a layer.
One important thing — skip stilettos. The ceremony is on grass, and there is a gravel path between venues. Block heels, wedges or smart flats are perfect.
Friday's braai: properly casual, whatever feels good around a fire.
Sunday's breakfast: come in your comfies.
What to Pack
Gifts
Truly, having all of you together in one place is the real gift. If you would still like to bless our first chapter, a contribution toward the honeymoon would mean the world.
Honeymoon Fund
A contribution toward our first adventure as a married couple.
Frequently Asked
Can't find what you're looking for? Reply to your RSVP confirmation email and we'll get back to you.
Yes — the whole weekend is adult-only. We adore your little ones, but we want everyone (you included) to be fully present, have a glass in hand, and let loose. Please arrange care for the kiddos at home.
Our wedding is strictly by name on the guest list — no plus-ones, sorry. The lodge has limited space and we wanted every single seat to be someone we know and love. If your invite lists a partner by name, they'll find themselves on the list when they RSVP.
We're going unplugged for the ceremony itself — phones away, please. Our photographer will catch every angle. After the I-do's it's open season. We'll share a photo upload link with you in your confirmation.
Signal is patchy. Wifi works in the main lodge.
Tell us on the RSVP form and we'll brief the kitchen. Vegetarian, halaal, gluten-free, allergies — all sorted. We just need to know by 30 September.
30 September 2026. The lodge needs final numbers six weeks out — we'd love yours sooner if you know.
