YOGA SAFARI RETREAT
KRUGER NATIONAL PARK ~ SEPTEMBER 11 - 21, 2023
Experience True Nature
A once in a lifetime yoga retreat experience! Join our small group Yoga Safari as we journey into the wild of Africa.
The rugged beauty of the African landscape provides the backdrop to our practice; from here we will enjoy sunset walks and come face to face with wildlife in Kruger National Park.
The grounding practices of yoga asana, mudra and pranayama encourage a for a fully embodied perspective;
our reflective practices will clear the lens through which we see the world and ourselves,
allowing you to experience travel in a completely different way.
Firstly, this isn’t a Yoga “Retreat” in the traditional sense. What it is, is utterly fabulous.
The location of the Lodge is absolutely stunning. The accommodation is beautiful, spotlessly clean and completely idyllic. The hosts and staff all go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable, without being intrusive and the food...O. M. G!!
The emphasis is really on the safari element and every day Neil provides a varied schedule. In my opinion these are the gold standard of safaris! The guides are amazingly knowledgeable, entertaining and enthusiastic. Neil is an expert himself and all together this is a far superior experience to a standard safari drive through Kruger. The dawn safari on foot was a highlight for me. ~ Cassie 2019 via Facebook
