With Ilala Palms framing the skyline and the Zambezi River flowing by, the private ceremony venue is intrinsically romantic. The riverside venue is a hidden gem on the blue-green stretch of the Zambezi. Guests arrive on luxury cruise boats, and from the river, it looks as though the trees have been gently parted to reveal an enchanting oasis where you will say your I Do’s. The serene setting comes to life with floral arrangements and an arch of your design.
After the ceremony and sunset cruise, guests are transferred to the Wild Horizons Lookout Café. The iconic restaurant is the perfect place to have your first dance, indulge in a three-course meal, and create life-long memories.
