Vow renewals, anniversaries, engagements, honeymoons and milestone birthdays – there is much to celebrate in life and why not whilst on safari? The Ngare team loves planning a celebration whatever the occasion. And they do it in Maasai style: with beautiful beadwork, dancing warriors, extraordinary backdrops and of course the warmest Tanzania service and hospitality

MAASAI BLESSINGS

Couples either wanting to renew their vows or celebrate a milestone wedding anniversary can do this at an authentic, low-key sunset celebration in our Maasai boma. The husband is presented with a Maasai shirt and beaded walking stick and the wife with a traditional beaded skirt, top and beautiful Maasai jewelry. They arrive in the boma accompanied by singing and dancing maidens and warriors. After a performance by the warriors the elders will bless the couple.

AN OUT OF AFRICA ENGAGEMENT

What could be more romantic than a proposal on your safari, with sweeping views of the Lake Manyara. With such a setting we have yet to have a refusal!.

SPECIAL BIRTHDAYS

Whether it’s just a couple travelling together celebrating a milestone birthday, or the multigenerational gathering of a family clan, the lodge loves to throw a party. These take place in our Maasai Boma at sunset, accompanied by toasts with traditional Tanzania ‘dawa’ a beautifully beaded Maasai gift is presented and the warrior performance dedicated to the birthday celebrant.
