After the glamour and excitement of Saturday’s Hollywoodbets Durban July, the perfect close to an unforgettable weekend came with the Savanna Sunday Soirée — a golden hour sunset session held at the stunning Savanna Manor at Canelands Beach Club on Sunday, 6 July 2025.
Set against the calming backdrop of the Indian Ocean, the soirée embraced the crisp, dry spirit that Savanna is known for. Picture this: luxury cabanas, laughter echoing from every corner, chilled drinks in hand, and the mellow sounds of the ocean in the distance — all setting the tone for an effortlessly stylish Sunday unwind.
The event kicked off in laid-back fashion, with Courtnae Paul setting the musical mood with smooth, feel-good tracks as guests mingled and enjoyed the golden hour glow. As the night deepened, DJ Zinhle turned things up a notch, bringing her signature energy to the decks and getting everyone moving. The dance floor truly came alive when Mörda (Bongz)took over, lighting up the stage with a fiery set that had guests dancing into the night — the perfect remedy for any lingering Saturday fatigue.
The guest list was a who’s who of South Africa’s entertainment and influencer scene. Familiar faces included Mpho Popps, Celeste Ntuli, Moshe Ndiki, Sithelo Shozi, Mbali Nkosi, Bheki Ndamase, and Farieda, among many others — all friends of the brand and key figures in the industry, coming together to celebrate the close of an extraordinary weekend.
The Savanna Weekend of Marvels officially began on Friday with an exclusive pre-party, followed by a hilarious Saturday at the Savanna Marquee at Durban July, headlined by the #NeatGivahs comedy collective who brought the laughs live and in full colour.
Sunday’s Soirée was the cherry on top — a warm, stylish, and joy-filled evening that captured the heart of what Savanna does best: great company, unbeatable vibes, and moments worth savouring.
As the last song played and the final cheers echoed into the night, one thing was clear — the #SaviviWeekendOfMarvels wasn’t just a series of events, it was an unforgettable experience
