The most important day for our guests is the actual wedding and celebration day: 17 July, 2027.

We recommend you arrive one or two days beforehand, to check into your accommodation and get used to the weather and the area you’re staying in.

We’ll cover:

• The wedding celebration itself, including the ceremony, dinner, and party.

Guests are responsible for:

• Flights to and from Tanzania

• Accommodation

• Any optional excursions before or after the wedding

We'll do our best to make everything easy by providing recommendations, practical information, and help with logistics.

Most international visitors to Tanzania will need:

• A passport valid for at least six months after your arrival.

• A tourist visa, which can be applied for online through Tanzania's official e-Visa system.

• It is possible to apply for a visa on arrival, but we strongly recommend applying in advance to make your arrival smoother.

• If you're planning to join us in Zanzibar after the wedding, please note that they require international visitors to purchase a mandatory local travel insurance (currently USD 44 per adult).
  
  For more travel information regarding Tanzania look up the information provided by the Norwegian ministry of Foreign Affairs.

We recommend staying in Masaki, where the wedding venue is likely to be located.

Masaki is a peninsula on the northern side of Dar es Salaam and is one of the city's most popular areas for visitors. You'll find many restaurants, cafés, beaches, and waterfront venues nearby, including Sea Cliff Hotel, The Slipway, and Bravo by Coco.

We'll share specific accommodation recommendations closer to the wedding.

We'll provide recommendations for:

• Airport transfers

• Transportation to and from the wedding venue

• Shared transportation opportunities with other guests

Getting around Dar es Salaam is generally easy using ride-hailing apps, taxis, and private transfers.

We recommend bringing:

• Lightweight summer clothing

• Something dressy for the wedding

• Comfortable shoes

• Swimwear

• Sun protection

Tanzania is warm year-round, but evenings can occasionally be breezy near the coast.

We’d love for your little ones to join us for the ceremony as we exchange our vows.

For the reception (celebration), however, we have chosen to keep the celebration adults-only.

We know many of you are travelling a long way to celebrate with us, and we hope you'll treat the evening as an opportunity to relax, reconnect, and enjoy a memorable celebration together.

Our reception is designed as an evening of shared dining, dancing, and festivities that will continue late into the night.

Thank you for your understanding. We can't wait to celebrate with you all.

We're aiming for a summer elegant atmosphere and we love to dress up!

Think:

• Light, comfortable fabrics

• Colourful outfits are very welcome!

• Cocktail, semi-formal and Lounge suit/Day Dress attire

Most importantly, wear something you'll feel comfortable celebrating in.

We'll be serving a mix of:

• Tanzanian and East African flavors

• International options

More details will be shared once the menu is finalised.

We'll be staying in Tanzania for approximately three weeks after the wedding and would love for anyone interested to join parts of the journey.

Our current plans include:

Zanzibar (4–5 days): Zanzibar is famous for its white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and unique blend of African, Arab, and Indian influences. Whether you're interested in relaxing by the ocean, snorkeling, exploring historic Stone Town, or taking a sunset dhow cruise, Zanzibar offers something for everyone.

Safari in Mikumi National Park: A chance to experience Tanzania's wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and lions.

The Usambara Mountains: A peaceful mountain region known for beautiful hiking trails, scenic viewpoints, local villages, and cooler temperatures.

Joining us is completely optional—we're simply sharing our travel plans so anyone interested can join us along the way.

We will:

• Share proposed itineraries, dates, and estimated costs

• Organize group bookings where practical

• Help coordinate logistics

You will be able to:

• Join our group plans

• Travel independently

• Join only the parts that interest you

Not at all!

You're welcome to:

• Attend only the wedding

• Join some of the post-wedding activities

• Spend additional time traveling independently

• Join us for the entire adventure

Whatever works best for you.

We want this to be a warm, memorable, and enjoyable experience for everyone.

For us, this celebration is about:

• Bringing together friends and family from around the world

• Sharing a place that means a lot to us

• Creating new memories together

• Enjoying great food, beautiful nature, and good company

We're excited to celebrate with you and hope you'll be part of it. 🌍✨
