When we announce the theme and you guys provide the centre stage looks 😎🔥

Welcome to Burlesque Safari ✨🐆

Sequins, feathers, glitz, glam, animal prints & show stopping looks took over the night as everyone stepped into their alter egos for an unforgettable evening under the African stars ✨

A dance floor that never slowed down, voices singing along all night long & an atmosphere that felt straight out of a dream.

Pretty sure we’re all thinking the same thing right now… can we go back already? 😆

We did it… we survived the first day back in the real world 😅✨ But wow, did the Monday blues hit hard after the weekend we just experienced 😆

So we figured it was only right to share the best shades of blue from our Saturday Pool Party 🥳💦☀️

An afternoon under the African sun, drinks in hand, your favourite people poolside, while DJ’s Syzo & Jenica kept the energy high with the ultimate feel good beats 🕺🏼 🪩

We danced, we grooved and we definitely made a splash all afternoon long 😎

Day one… you absolutely blew us away ✨🔥

Pure perfection from start to finish ~ every single one of you brought the energy and made it a day to remember.

From the magic of our game drives to a sundowner session like no other… Aperol in hand, our DJ setting the tone with those foot stepping beats, indulgent Magnum moments and fire dancers bringing the heat as the sun went down 🔥

The ultimate way to end the day ~ the Beats in the Bush way 🐆🎶

An official sponsor of Beats in the Bush, bringing a little extra indulgence to our African dream✨

Set against our picturesque bush backdrop, Magnum became part of the magic ~ sunset sundowners, unforgettable views and a drinks stop experience like no other 🌅

In the heart of the bush, every Magnum ice cream became more than just a treat… it was part of the experience. One bite and you were fully immersed in the magic of Beats in the Bush.
