Your wedding. Your vision. Your way.

There are ample good reasons why iNsingizi Lodge & Spa has become the venue of choice for couples seeking a warm, personal and relaxed country wedding in the African bush – not to mention why we’ve been included in Country Life’s 10 spots to tie the knot.

But perhaps the single greatest reason, that stands iNsingizi Lodge & Spa out from other venues, is our personal touch – and with it, our meticulous attention to detail in taking care of your wedding needs.

We specialise in turning your dream wedding into reality – a wedding that’s recognisably so you, with your fingerprints all over it, but at our signature thatched chapel and reception venue that’s uniquely African.

And once it’s all over, we have the ultimate antidote to all those weeks of pre-wedding nerves and stress: Our on-site spa is a wonderful spoil for bridal couples. Before leaving for home or honeymoon, indulge in a luxurious treatment – the perfect ending to a magical weekend.

Since your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, it should hold special memories. Yet as you both plan and look forward to your wedding day, you’ll probably feel rather overwhelmed by the extent of preparation involved.

We recognise just how stressful it can get to orchestrate all the behind-the-scenes logistics that goes into making one of the defining milestones of your life unforgettable.

We’ll relieve you of this burden, by ensuring that your special day is thoroughly and flawlessly handled to the last exacting detail by our experienced and seasoned professionals… and not by you!

We build your dream wedding around you. That way, you as the bride and groom get to relax in the sure knowledge that all the details will be handled by consummate professionals … and that you, your family, friends and guests are assured of a carefree and unforgettable day.

Why we’ve become the venue of choice for couples seeking a warm, personal and relaxed country wedding in the African bushveld.

Our Location
iNsingizi Lodge & Spa is nestled in the beautiful craggy hills of Mid Illovo (between Durban and Pietermaritzburg) on a 350 hectare private estate where some of our wild game will no doubt find their way into your photographs! It’s breathtakingly “away from it all”, yet so close to major cities – Durban, Pietermaritzburg and Johannesburg.

Our Approach
We specialise in personal weddings, where your requirements are our priorities and your chosen friends and family are not just numbers. And this means that the wedding of your dreams – with quality catering, stand-out decor, homely accommodation, a relaxed atmosphere and the breathtaking beauty of the African bush – is within easy reach at iNsingizi Game Lodge & Spa, at a price that’ll leave you smiling.

Our Style
Our wedding venue is flexible enough to allow you to reflect your own unique personal style to the finest detail. Our team will work with you, so that the end result not only has your guests oohing and ahhing … but also thinking the whole affair was just so “you“.

Our Previous Successes
While our reputation for being a wedding venue of choice precedes us, we don’t take this for granted and treat every wedding as an opportunity to further entrench our good name for hosting unforgettable weddings. We can say this with confidence because it’s what our previous clients have attested – word of mouth has proven to be our greatest advertisement. Check out our testimonials page.

Our flexible approach allows each bride to reflect her own unique personal style. Once you’ve chosen your wedding date, we’ll look at the various options available for your reception and ceremony.

We’ll then systematically work through who needs to do what and by when, and whether you require any of our additional services or those of our reliable and highly rated suppliers and recommended referrals.

Once this is all done, we’ll turn our attention to what you and your guests will be eating and drinking on the day. We have a number of options and, in consultation with you, we’ll customise these to ensure you’re thrilled with the menu you choose.

Two weeks (14 days) before your wedding day, we’ll ask you to advise us of your final guest numbers to enable us to start preparations well in advance.

At the same time, you’ll need to give us any changes to your accommodation and bar requirements, and advise us of other logistical arrangements, such as florist and minister arrival times.

Once these changes are given, the preparations will be considered final and no alterations, cancellations or amendments will be entered into.
