Weddings and Blessings

View our wedding brochure

In the heart of the Kenyan Bush there are plenty of places to get married and toast the happy couple, but here are just some of our favourites:

Lone Tree Hill
With stunning savannah views, it’s a beautiful location to say 'I do’ covered by large canopied trees.

Big Rock
Expect panoramic views of the conservancy and incredible sunsets; it’s a special spot for the ceremony, sundowners or bush dinners.

Pool Deck
This location is perfect for smaller weddings, receptions or private dinners. The infinity pool extends the view during the day and in the evening is lit up with candles and lamps creating a romantic atmosphere.

Fire Deck
From this spectacular elevated space with views out into the gorge, watch the sun set while the firepit provides the perfect romantic atmosphere.

Shepherd's Nook
This area offers privacy and is a small but beautiful area. It’s also the perfect spot to continue the celebrations with a reception or bush dinner.

From dancers to dinners here are just a few ideas of how you can get the party started!

Maasai Dancers
For a traditional celebration the Maasai dancers perform their traditional song and dance, which involves the men jumping in the centre of a circle formed by other Maasai warriors. This is traditionally performed to try and impress the young women with their athleticism!

Bush Dinner
A bush dinner is the perfect setting for couples looking for an intimate romantic and is an ideal setting for smaller groups.

Bush Game Drives
Spend your first moments as a married couple amongst the wild animals roaming the Kenyan plains.
