WEDDINGS

Your Big Day should be all about YOU - and not about last-minute hotel bookings, rental car reservations or day tours for your guests.

Let us take care of that for you...

Planning your wedding is a big deal, and if it's a destination wedding you have even more on your plate. The last thing you need to be saddled with, is acting as travel agent to your international guests and giving travel advice, booking tours, recommending restaurants or organising sightseeing trips. At the same time you want to make sure your guests have a truly special time - they've flown thousands of miles to be here after all. What to do? 

Well, that's exactly where we come in. We will take all the travel-related stress off your hands, and leave you free to focus on what really matters: creating a magical Big Day. And best of all? There's no additional fee for the wedding couple. 
Why book with us?

How can we help?

As a Destination Wedding Travel Specialist in Southern Africa, there are a number of ways in which we can make the lives of you and your wedding planner easier in the run-up to your Big Day, and afterwards. Not only will this leave you free to focus on planning your wedding, but it will also ensure your international guests have a magical time in South Africa and our neighbouring countries which complements your beautiful wedding. It's a win-win for everybody. Especially you :-)  

Examples of how we can make your life easier include:


  • Day Tours: Give your overseas guests a chance to bond with local family and friends on a special day tour. We can organise group excursions for one day or more to explore our beautiful country - from laid-back picnics on a secluded beach to outdoor activities like cycling through the Winelands or driving around the Cape Peninsula in a sidecar. 


  • Personalised Travel Itineraries: Most international guests want to use their time in South Africa to also go on safari and discover Cape Town, or even travel to other countries in the region like Namibia and Botswana. We will work closely with them to design a travel itinerary that is perfectly personalised to their needs, budget and personality so they have the best time while out here for your wedding without you having to worry about a thing. 


  • Wedding Day Transport: Save your guests the hassle of driving to your wedding venue on the Big Day by letting us organise shuttles or larger busses to transfer them. An added bonus is that nobody needs to worry about drunk driving late at night.


  • Hands-On Reservations and Bookings: In the final weeks before your Big Day  you definitely do not want to spend your time giving travel advice, making restaurant bookings or sorting out snags like guests who can't find their guesthouse. We will work directly with your guests or your wedding coordinator to make sure all things travel-related run as smoothly as saying "I do".    


  • Handcrafted honeymoons: We know all the most romantic spots in Southern and Eastern Africa as well as the tropical Indian Ocean Islands. From a safari in Botswana, gazing out over the Victoria Falls, soaring in a hot air balloon over the Serengeti or kicking back on a gorgeously blonde beach in the Maldives, Mauritius or Reunion - we will work with you to design a honeymoon that will leave you breathless. One you'll talk about for decades to come.ο»Ώ

"Make your adventure matter". That is the philosophy behind The Travel Cafe's Pack for a Cause initiative. We encourage all our guests coming to South Africa πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦ to bring a few items with them from a list of much needed essentials (even just 1 or 2 items). Donations are then in turn given to township communities, with the help of our charity partner Isibane se Afrika where it really makes a difference! A huge thanks to our guests Emma and her mother Nancy from Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦, who not only had a super time travelling through the Western Cape with our curated itinerary, but took the trouble to really help out those in need by donating so many books, food, games and sanitary items to our philanthropic project that the Travel Café team has been supporting now for over 5 years. πŸͺ˜ Thanks again Emma and Nancy, your HUGELY generous donations greatly appreciated and already being out to good use πŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸŽ„πŸŽ ο»Ώ #makeyourtravelmatter #forceforgood #packforacause

Just in: South Africa's locally grown Rooibos is among the season colours at the 2024 New York Fashion Week, taking a little piece of our country to the far corners of the globe. β˜•πŸ˜ Pantone LLC, the global authority on colour and provider of professional colour standards for the design industries chose the Rooibos Tea Pantone as one of the Top 10 standout colours of 2024, that will be shaping trends and design. 🀩 The benefits of Rooibos extend far beyond wellness with the full-bodied red colour, imbued with rich, woody notes, now being taken up by brands like, Gucci, Zegna, and more. Just as people often use Rooibos to revitalise themselves, the colour palette can be equally refreshing. We cannot wait to see what clever creations designers come up with, using the tones from one of our favourite drinks. 🌿 #rooibos #newyorkfashionweek #proudlysouthafrican #rooibospantone

Think of a safari in Africa, and your mind immediately takes you to a pride of lions, watching elephants at a watering hole all the while sipping a G&T at the back of Land Cruiser, glancing over that classic sunset. And you wouldn’t be wrong. But what if you have already seen the Big 5 many times over and long for something new, something different? Perhaps something a bit more immersive –that really gets you up close and personal with nature? Chances are you will walk away with a newfound appreciation of the wonders of the natural world, and fortunately South Africa has no shortage of alternative safari options to consider. South Africa is home to several biodiversity hotspots – areas with significant levels of biodiversity. The Cape’s small fynbos biome for example is so rich in different species that just on the Table Mountain National Park alone there are more different types of plant species than in the whole of Britain. Many of these plants occur nowhere else on earth other than our flat-topped mountain. Similarly, South Africa is also home to more than a third of the world’s succulent species.

Winter is here, and so are the whales! The first southern right whale baby was spotted in Walker Bay in late June and this indicates the start of the incredible whale season in Hermanus, just under 2 hours drive from Cape Town.β„οΈπŸ‹πŸ€© From June to late November, 100's of Southern Right Whales 🐳 migrate to these waters from their Antarctic feeding areas to breed, care for their young and play in our shallow waters for roughly 6 months every year. The sight of these massive, gentle and inquisitive creatures is truly exhilarating for everyone – and for those that love nature, it is completely mind-blowingly astonishing. 😍❀️ Whale watching in Hermanus can be experienced in various ways; either from land, by boat or from the air via a scenic flight. For the thrill-seekers, the closest encounter out there, is a guided ocean kayaking trip that promises to ignite your spirit of adventure and offers a unique way to explore the pristine coastlines. πŸ˜† Book your whale watching tour now through our team at The Travel Café Cape Town for an unforgettable adventure: www.thetravelcafe.co.za/contact #hermanuswhales #whaleseason #whalewatch #southernrightwhales #whalewatchingtour
