Surrounded by nature and potentially some wild animals, here are a few wedding venue ideas for your bush wedding inspiration.

Having your wedding in the bush will be an experience unlike any other. No matter the time of year, the bush is guaranteed to bring you epic post-wedding photos and an extremely beautiful wedding venue. Guests who have never been to the bushveld will hold this special memory in their heart for a long time. There really is no place on earth like Africa’s wild terrain.
