Looking for the best the destination for your wedding is a big deal. For some people, the ideal wedding destination is in the rich places in Europe or the tropical in the Bahamas or Hawaii. A lot of people underrate Africa! From blue waters to historic landscapes and exotic falls, here are the ten best places to get married in Africa.

1. Victoria Falls: Victoria Falls is a beautiful waterfall setting on the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Listed as one of the seven natural wonders of the world, it is a breathtaking wedding destination in Africa. A beautiful waterfall as your backdrop, with serene lagoons, islands and wildlife as a backdrop creates the most picture-perfect wedding at Victoria Falls.

There is a hotel planted right at the edge of the falls in Zimbabwe and a luxury lodge on the other side in Zambia. Either of these can serve as the perfect venue. After the wedding, the wedding party can enjoy sunset river cruises or guided game drives.

2. Zanzibar, Tanzania: Located in East Africa, this island is amazing for beach weddings with its spectacularly picturesque beaches, turquoise waters, boisterous markets and historic buildings and architecture. It provides the best backdrops of white sands and tall palms swaying in the winds. The sea breeze is always invigorating to both couple and guests, giving them a sense of relaxation before, during and after the wedding.
From snorkeling to a dose of the rich culture in museums, there is a lot to do in Zanzibar even after the wedding.

With only 10 well-spaced tents along the Talek River, you’re sure to enjoy the utmost privacy and exclusivity during your small destination wedding in Africa. Each tent is beautifully furnished in a classic style that pays homage to the romantic ‘explorer’ days of yesteryear. Think hand carved mahogany furniture, antique chests and historic prints, plus open-air Victorian bathtubs from which to watch elephant and giraffe quench their thirst at the river.
