Not the official way to do it and maybe not romantic enough,
but when push comes to shove you could refill the champagne
into a glass bottle with a screw-cap and claim it was Appletizer ..0..

Does the fiance know that you are posting this, Dad? O-/

Ja, there have been lots of similar requests to SANParks since prohibition, but no real answer...the boy must maar make a plan! :twisted:

If permits are issued it will be chaos! O:V

I'm not advocating smuggling alcohol into Kruger, but I've heard of many people finding clever hiding places in their vehicles. O**
