Botswana Soul Safari
A yoga and safari journey through Victoria Falls, the Chobe wilderness and the wide, star-strewn skies of Botswana.
A retreat of contrasts
Experience the magic of Africa on this unforgettable yoga and safari retreat through Victoria Falls and Botswana. Begin with two awe-inspiring days at the world's largest waterfall, where the sheer power of the water sets the tone for renewal, adventure and connection.
From there, cross the border into Botswana near Chobe National Park, where the retreat unfolds as an immersive glamping experience surrounded by untamed wilderness. Each day blends deep yoga practice, mindful movement and meditation with thrilling safari excursions, elephants, lions, hippos and abundant wildlife in their natural habitat.
Between practices and game drives, you'll share meaningful cultural exchange, traditional music and storytelling, and savor authentic local cuisine, a rare chance to reconnect with yourself, the land and the spirit of Africa.
