No, however the recommendations are to have your routine vaccinations up to date. If you plan on doing a safari, check in with your family doctor for anything you may need.

Despite the fact that South Africa has 12 official languages, English is the most widely spoken in Cape Town.

We recommend arriving on Nov 15th, no later than November 16th (two days before the wedding) to adjust to the timezone and climate.

Cape Town is wonderful to explore, but like any major city, it’s important to stay aware. We recommend not walking alone at night and sticking to well-populated areas. If you’re unsure about a neighbourhood or activity, feel free to ask us or do a quick search beforehand — some spots may seem inviting but aren’t ideal for tourists. When in doubt, check in and stay smart!

November marks the beginning of the summer season in South Africa. The climate is warm with plenty of sun and temperatures usually ranging from 21-29 Degrees Celcius. However it can be variable and get quite chilly in the evenings and early mornings. Pack summer clothes but bring a light jacket for the breeze or nights.

To ensure an intimate and enjoyable celebration, we kindly ask that only the guests listed on the invitation attend. We promise there will be plenty of great company, delicious food, and awkward dance moves to keep you entertained!

We plan to have the ceremony outdoors, and the reception indoors.

There are no hotel blocks available, so we recommend booking accommodation as soon as possible.

South Africa has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to drinking and driving. Your blood may not have an alcohol content of more than 0.05% (this means that even after one small drink you could be over the limit).

Tourists in South Africa can take advantage of a tax refund on purchases, which is most worthwhile if you’re making bigger purchases. Be sure to save your receipts and keep the items easily accessible, as you’ll need to show them at the airport when departing. The refund is typically processed 2–3 months after you leave the country.
