We want to say that having all of you attending our wedding is the best gift you can give us and a wedding gift is not necessary. If you would still like to give us a gift anyway, cash is the best option since we will traveling after the wedding back to New Zealand and do not have much room in our luggage. However, if you have thought of the perfect gift and would like to give it to us, we would be more then happy to accept your generosity.

Wedding Day Attire
The attire is semi formal with a vintage safari spin. We also recommend that you wear a hat because the ceremony site is only partly shaded.Comfortable shoes are also a must because the ceremony site is in the bush. To give you some ideas we did some research on what vintage safari could look like and we have pasted so images below for you to have a browse through.
The first selection of images is from the original Banana Republic Collection( interestingly enough they used to be purely a travel clothing company) This is a collection of some classic with some rather interesting names like the marathon dress.

South Luangwa National Park
South Luangwa National Park : January, February, March and April
This period is known as the green season and is considered to be an unusual but interesting time to visit.
With mean maximums around 30C and mean minimums around 18C, temperatures are not an issue at this time. Elevated levels of humidity may be a little uncomfortable at times, but should be nothing compared with the conditions in late October and early November. The main issue is rain, with all four of these months taking their fair share, although gradually reducing as the weeks pass. With the average number of rainy days per month peaking at 15, it is clear that there should be plenty of good clear weather in between, but dramatic storms and lighter showers are not usually too far away.
With the game having largely dispersed away from the main river system and the grass having grown significantly, gameviewing reaches its most challenging at this time of year. But whilst the volume of sightings may decrease, there is no reason for the quality of sightings to fall away. Many people, including most of those who live in the valley, consider this to be the most magical time to be out in the bush. The place is verdant and vibrant, with lush foliage, lots of wildflowers and butterflies. It is a time of relative plenty, when most of the animals choose to have their young.
There is a really nice presentation of the park during the green season in the video section below.
Very few camps remain open at this time, which severely restricts choice, Nkwali Camp and Kapani Lodge being the standout options. With there being so few visitors around, it does make the place feel very remote and special.
The green season also tends to deliver some pretty good pricing too, making this an extremely smart time for more relaxed visitors to be out on safari.
