The resort has a selection of beautiful wedding venues. For outdoor and small wedding parties, planners have the option of using the Boma where guests can experience a traditional bushveld dinner in natural surroundings. The Okavango Suite can accommodate up to 250 people and can be divided into two smaller rooms for smaller wedding parties. The Moremi Suite comprises three separate rooms that can be opened out into one large room to accommodate up to 100 people.
