The garden is fertilized with organic compost that is made by the personal gardeners. The gardens provide organic local greens, herbs and citrus picked on a daily basis. Guests are invited to take a private table on 1 of 3 open air dining decks or book an entire floor at the Lookout for a stunning lunch or dinner.

Your wedding day starts off with a formal registry ceremony at Livingstone City offices, followed by a traditional blessing from a local pastor. No matter how big the groups is, the hosts will cater for all of your guests and can arrange suitable accommodation in the surrounding area. The professional staff will take care of everything from legalities required by the registry office (a Zambian wedding is internationally recognized), the blessing, the order of service, flowers, menus, cakes, and guest gifts, to the choir, professional photography and local entertainment (DJ, local dancers), and more.

Honeymoons - The romantic escape is a natural fit for your honeymoon. Each of the six houses is set in a private, intimate area affording picture-perfect views of the Zambezi river and private decks for cozy candlelight dinners under a canopy of stars.
