South Africa is a great place to learn about the past from
Nelson Mandela to the harmonies of Ladysmith Black Mambazo. And of course with
the political reformations that have taken place in Modern times, it has been
appealing for many to go visit there.
These are some great reasons to visit South Africa, however,
there are some things that you MUST know before you go there. This will help to
make your trip a lot smoother so you know what to expect when you get there and
you aren’t taken aback.
So let’s chat about a few things now.
Pay attention to your location and be aware of your
surroundings
Just like any place that you go there are nice parts and not
so nice parts. In the cities of South Africa, these differences can be found
within one block of each other. It is recommended that when you see suspicious
activity for you not to engage and go the other way.
Keep everything you bring with you simple
Don’t pack anything expensive (clothing or jewelry). Bring
affordable clothing and technology. Pay attention to where you are. If you show
off expensive items or that you have money, you can expect unwanted attention
or thieves to be interested in you and you definitely don’t want that.
Don’t be flashy with your money when you are dealing with
vendors
They will try to take advantage of you and charge you more
for items that don’t have to be pricey.
Rent a simple and affordable car that will get you around
When you are renting a car there, don’t get a fancy car. Car
theft is common in South Africa. It is highly advised that you don’t get a
convertible and that you do all of your highway driving before sunset as that’s
when car theft is more popular. Driving yourself around South Africa is
relatively safe, but you might want to learn the local laws and road etiquette
before hitting the road.
South Africa is such a diverse country so be open-minded
A famous South African, Desmond Tutu, described South Africa
as, “We of many cultures, languages, and races become one nation. We are the
Rainbow People of God.” There are 11 different languages there so that’s
pretty unique and awesome. It’s important to remain alert to stay safe and
respect the culture.
Doing further research yourself about the country will help you avoid any stressful situations and make your trip a lot more enjoyable for everyone. Need help with tours and excursions while in South Africa, go here.
Now that you are engaged, you and your fiancé must be
thinking… where should our wedding be? Should we have it someplace local or
should we go abroad for our nuptials?
If you want to go abroad and have a destination wedding at
your favorite spot or a place that has significance in your relationship that
is great! However, you may not be sure how to plan something in a foreign
country plus add on the stress of a WEDDING, but don’t worry about it girl…
We got your back. We can help you plan your destination
wedding on YOUR budget. Yes, you heard that right – we can plan your wedding on
YOUR budget and no one else’s.
So here are some key tips that we would like to share with
you about planning a destination wedding. Without further ado, let’s get to it.
Keep your wedding guest list small.
We understand that sometimes, you just want to invite
everyone under the sun to your wedding because it is a BIG DEAL. However, you
need to be realistic about who and how many people you want to invite to your
big day. This will not only save you money when it comes to booking the venue
and food, but it also means that you don’t have to keep over 100 people’s
calendars in mind when you are planning for your big day!
Let your natural surroundings do the talking.
Often when you are investing in a destination wedding, you
are already in a beautiful location. Therefore, you don’t need to splurge on
expensive and elaborate decorations and centerpieces. Keep things simple. Allow
you and your guests to take in the natural surroundings. Sometimes it is all
you need with a few occasional accents, ultimately saving you some money by not
splurging on decorations.
Choose a weekday for your wedding day.
Hear us out when we say that a weekday is a great move when
it comes to choosing your wedding day. Not only can you get your venue for a
fraction of the cost, but your guests can get even more budget-friendly options
on hotels and flights. It’s something to consider when selecting your wedding
day.
Extend your trip for your honeymoon.
Most destination weddings are often held at the beautiful
beach locations, so why not stay there for your honeymoon too? You are already
there. No need to book another flight or even another hotel room. Depending on
which hotel you partner with for your wedding, you may even have the opportunity
to reap in some rewards. Many resorts will offer special honeymoon packages
with perks when you get married on property, or you may have the option to move
to a sister property nearby or upgrade your room for a change of scenery.
Use Zoom or Skype to deal with international vendors.
We recommend you use Zoom or Skype to handle your
international vendors. You can have free calls using those apps. It will save
you some money in the long run. Avoid high international costs with your cell
phone company.
These are the top five key tips that can help you plan your
destination wedding on YOUR budget.
The last thing we want is for you to be stressed out on your
wedding day. We don’t want you worrying about the catering, decorations, and
making sure that the wedding venue is set up to greet your guests.
The only thing that we want for you to think about is having
the best day of your life, and getting all dolled up for the love of your life.
