Inkwenkwezi

About Us

Tucked along South Africa’s breathtaking Wild Coast, Inkwenkwezi is a world-class big five game reserve with an emphasis on luxury and thoughtful details.

Inkwenkwezi’s prime location in the malaria-free Eastern Cape of South Africa offers many unique opportunities, as it encompasses five different regional ecosystems (biomes) and a tidal estuary. This rich diversity of landscape offers unparalleled wildlife viewing.

The reserve is just five minutes from magnificent beaches and a short, convenient drive from the East London airport.

Your Wedding

Inkwenkwezi’s charming thatched open-air chapel with its red carpet laid out for the bridal couple to walk down to say “I do”. The chapel is situated at Emthombeni (under the old wild fig tree) and paradise garden settings with water features incorporating waterfalls, small ponds and streams with rapids. To capture this beauty way into the night, strategically placed lights light up the garden.

After the service the couple may wonder into our paradise garden for their photo session. The variety of breathtaking scenes, interesting features will give you the opportunity to have a range of unique photographs to keep as mementoes of this important day.

During the photo session the guests are invited to have a pre-arranged Inkwenkwezi welcoming drink. While the tranquil sound of running water relaxes the guest and their chatter carries through the garden as you are being photographed.

On walking into the thatched Emthombeni, you are welcomed and you become one with the enchanting gardens when the big sliding glass doors are opened.
