BOTSWANA RETREAT 2026
BOTSWANA RETREAT 2026
31st Oct – 7th Nov 2026
WILDLIFE, WELLNESS & WISDOM
The thing about a WILDYOGIS retreat is it’s always a bit different. You have me for a start and I’ve never liked a ‘run of the mill’ experience. If you know anything about me, you will know I love WILDLIFE. I feel deeply that, yoga and nature are intricately linked. There is nothing like CONNECTION with the wild to bring you back to the moment and into your body.
I have always dreamed of running a SAFARI and yoga combo. I used to run trips to Africa to see some of the world’s most iconic wildlife and I have thought about trying to put something together for a while now. So, when research dropped MUNGA PLAINS at my feet, I investigated further… & I was very impressed. They have set up a beautiful camp nestled within the breathtaking expanse of CHOBE NATIONAL PARK. A perfect place for immersive safari experiences & a yogic connection with the wilderness. You are going to LOVE it!
