The retreat

Come solo.
Leave with lifelong friends.

Spend seven days in the heart of bird-rich native bushland, at a boutique lodge that hosts just nine guests at a time. Two game drives a day — one at sunrise, one at sunset — bring something new every time: elephants at the waterhole, a pride of lions at dusk, a sky that does something different every single evening.

Between drives, mornings open with yoga and the kind of hearty breakfast that actually keeps you going. Evenings are shared meals under the stars or fireside in the lodge's boma. Whether you come for the yoga, the wildlife, or simply to hear yourself think again — this one tends to exceed the brief.

Where you'll stay

A sanctuary for ten, not a hotel for hundreds.

Fenced, malaria-free, and nestled in bird-rich bushland — the lodge is designed to feel like somebody's very beautiful home, not a resort.

Shared Room

Our most popular choice for solo travellers who'd like company and a friendly face on arrival.

Private Room

For guests who'd prefer their own sanctuary to retreat to at the end of the day.

Couples Room

For two who'd like to share the whole experience — and the room.

Our group of seven started as strangers and ended as friends. Whether you go for the yoga, the wildlife, or simply to reconnect with yourself, I couldn't recommend this retreat more.

Before you go

Quick questions, answered.

Do I need to be experienced at yoga?

Not at all. Every retreat is built to welcome complete beginners and seasoned yogis in the same room — we'll always offer options to make a pose bigger or smaller.

What should I pack?

Comfortable yoga wear, a reusable water bottle, a journal, and anything that helps you feel like yourself. We'll send a full packing list once you've booked.

Is travel insurance really compulsory?

Yes — it's the one non-negotiable on this trip, given the remote location and activities involved. We'll ask for proof of cover before departure.
