Things To Do
Here's just a taste of things we recommend doing in this amazing country!
Our wedding venue is located in Paarl, a small historical town in the heart of the Cape Winelands, not far from Cape Town. The Winelands area is a stunning part of the country definitely worth exploring! Paarl is lovely, but the larger towns of Franschhoek (35min drive from venue) and Stellenbosch (25min drive from venue) should definitely not be missed!
In Joburg, some of the best neighborhoods to explore are: Braamfontein, Greenside, Illovo, Linden, Maboneng, Melville, Newtown, Parkhurst, Parktown, and Sandton.
In Cape Town, check out City Bowl (including Bree & Long Streets), Bo-Kaap, Waterfront, Green Point, Seapoint, Woodstock, De Waterkant, Camps Bay, Kalk Bay, Granger Bay, Fish Hoek, Simon's Town... the list goes on!

Franschhoek Bastille Day Festival
Franschhoek, Western Cape, South Africa
Franschhoek, which means "French Corner" in Afrikaans, is a charming historical town in the Winelands that was originally settled by French Huguenots. The annual Bastille Day Festival celebrating this French heritage is an extremely popular event with local Capetonians and international tourists alike! If you'd like to check out this event, it is essential you buy your tickets (& make restaurant reservations) in advance!

Pilanesberg National Park
Pilanesberg National Park, NW, South Africa
Pilanesberg is a great national park and game reserve about a 4hr drive from Johannesburg. We've had great luck on safari here, seeing all Big 5! We definitely recommend doing guided night and early morning game drives, the experiences can be vastly different. If you have a rental car, it's also easy (and safe!) to do daytime self-drives in the park (just don't get out of your vehicle except in designated areas).
