Quick Answer

A Wedding in the Wild, Coordinated Down to Every Guest.

A safari wedding brings your ceremony and reception into the African wilderness — under acacia trees, on a crater rim, or at a sundowner viewpoint — with a private lodge buyout for your guests.

EXG coordinates the ceremony, guest travel, dining, and photography end-to-end, and can arrange either a legally binding Tanzania ceremony or a symbolic celebration paired with a legal ceremony at home.

"BUCKET LIST ITEM!!! We had a GREAT time on our Safari. Giraffes, and Elephants, and Hippos.. oh MY!! Our favorites were the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide (Manuel) was awesome. He and the other guides communicated via radio so when one spotted something amazing we had a chance to see it too! EXG is affordable luxury. We spent every day on game drives."

Common Concerns

Thinking It Over? Here's the Honest Answer

Isn't planning a destination wedding overwhelming?

Not with EXG running it. Our U.S. team and Tanzania partners coordinate the ceremony, lodge buyout, dining, and every guest's travel as one plan — you make the decisions, we handle the logistics.

Will our guests actually be able to get there?

Yes. EXG books and manages flights, transfers, and rooms for your whole group, so guests just show up ready to celebrate — no one is left to navigate Tanzania on their own.

Does it actually count as a real, legal wedding?

It can. Couples either marry legally in Tanzania or handle the legal paperwork at home beforehand and treat the safari ceremony as their symbolic celebration — both are common and both are real weddings in every sense that matters.
