...Say 'I do' in the most stunning 'cathedral 'of all
Cathedral Peak in the Drakensberg Mountains
Getting married is such a special time -and all couples want a memorable, beautiful setting in
which to exchange their vows. Somewhere special and romantic... and few places are more
breathtaking and special than the magnificent Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Mountains (a World Heritage
Site) in South Africa's Zulu Kingdom.
Cathedral Peak in the Central Berg, offers some of the most spectacular scenery imaginable.
That's why it was chosen as the location for the new, luxurious Didima Camp, which has been themed
around the art of the San people due to its fantastic rock art shelters nearby. Didima is ideal for
weddings as it is large enough to accommodate fairly large wedding parties -while still retaining
an intimate feel to it and rates are extremely reasonable. Guests can just stay over for the night
of the wedding if they wish as there is no minimum stay (unlike many other hotels who have a
minimum 2 or 3 night stay making it rather expensive) -but at this incredibly reasonable rate, most
guests will want to stay on longer to enjoy the many walks and hikes in the area.
The Camp offers 2 four-bed chalets, a six-bed bungalow and 62 two-bed luxury chalets that are
side by side with an optional inter-Ieading door ...making them ideal for families as they can be
converted into a four-bed family unit with self-catering facilities. The Camp also boasts a
fantastic honeymoon suite with crisp white linen, picture windows boasting views of the mountains
and romantic fireplaces in both the bedroom and the comfy lounge. The bathroom boasts a jacuzzi
bath and shower for two...
But the real seller is that the camp has its very own twin thatched wedding chapel and adjoining
reception venue. The chapel is magnificent ...with its entire back of glass -framing the
magnificent splendour of Cathedral Peak! An amazing backdrop in which to exchange vows and capture
the moments on camera.
There is a lovely and very capable organiser who will see to their every need -who can arrange
everything from the flowers, to menus, to ceremony handout, seating plans and baby sitters -all at
a very reasonable cost! They can also put couples in touch with local, reputable florists, DJ's,
photographers and anyone else they might need!
