While we fly you up to a remote spot on the rugged west coast, we will arrange for your partner to spend a relaxing day in the wonderful spa at Ellerman House.

While the uncut diamond is sent to be cut, polished and fitted in an exclusive Stellenbosch studio, you will be whisked back to Cape Town in time for a romantic sunset dinner with your partner.

At a secluded spot we will set up a sumptuous champagne breakfast spread in a secluded jungle clearing, with only the odd hippo and elephant for (distant) company. This is where the proposal or vow renewal can take place, blessed by the local High Priest and captured by a professional photographer. The sublime diamond ring will be presented before you witness the sunrise over the majestic Victoria Falls.
