You are a health & wellness facilitator, a teacher, a healer, a coach and you want to share your skills and techniques in a meaningful way in a WOW environment that creates transformation just by being there. Or you’re an individual who wants to get a group together for a retreat and you’re looking for both a venue and a facilitator.
You’re in the right place! We have a selection of outstanding opportunities for your retreats and workshops – from camping out or “glamping” under the stars in the African savannah to more luxurious establishments, from fully catered packages to self-catering with the option to hire a chef to prepare healthy local cuisine.
Whether you are a professional with an existing client base or you are a group of friends looking for a transformative experience in the wilderness, we can tailor-make a holistic workshop or retreat just for you. The themes below are just some ideas to get you started.
Transformation is a journey of self-discovery that begins with stepping away from the old you and discovering a more expanded, energised and resourceful self. And what better setting to evoke this expansion than the wide-open spaces of natural wilderness? Nature is also a place of nurturing and safety where you and your clients can feel supported in your processes and find inspiration and guidance.
Massotherapy, spa treatment, reiki, shiatsu, arts, yoga, pilates, qicong…
A mat, a few light clothes, your good vibe and off you go, immersing yourself in nature for a few days guaranteed to stretch body and mind. Start your day with an early reiki session accompanied by antelopes, zebras and elephants grazing in the background. Enjoy healthy foods and smoothies between sessions and after meditative walks through the surrounding wilderness.
Express yourself by practising your art in nature: writing, dancing, drawing and more.
After a beautiful day of discovery in the African bush, enjoy some “alone” time for self-reflection about your transformative experience on your journey, write in your journal, read an inspirational book or simply savour the silence and spectacular beauty around you.
Our volatile and unstable world forces our leaders to require holistic thinking rather than the old way of command-and-control. Leadership is now more about seeing wholeness and about connecting personal development with business enterprise – and what better place to get a bigger picture trusting your intuition than the open wilderness of Africa?
A safari in nature, far from the familiar environs and habits of the city, helps people reconnect to their natural leadership skills, to their emotional intelligence and sense of observation, so that they can be guided by heart and vision to implement or improve Conscious Business.
We take care of all arrangements when needed, including liaising with decision-makers in your organisation.
Open focus, silent retreats, breathing techniques
A mindfulness or silent retreat invites you to practise stillness and full attention to the present moment, letting go of concerns and discovering the peace and vitality within. Nature is mindful and in-the-moment, so imagine how you will feel after a silent walk in the savannah or a few hours sitting by a watering hole observing the wildlife, slowly becoming one with the natural surrounds.
Speak with us about venues particularly suited to silent or quiet retreats with no disturbances, allowing for an unforgettable transformative experience with yourself and the use of our health & wellness workshops.
Art therapy & psychology
Art therapy combines the creative process and psychotherapy, facilitating self-exploration and understanding, Using imagery, colour and shape as part of this creative therapeutic process, thoughts and feelings can be expressed that would otherwise be difficult to articulate.
An eco-psychology retreat is about exploring ways of expanding your emotional connection with your natural environment. It helps you develop a sustainable lifestyle and remedy the pervasive sense of alienation that comes from living away from nature.
Your art therapy or eco-psychology retreat in nature will support you in reconnecting with your own essence. We believe nature and true community are medicines for the soul.
EFT, TRE, EMDR, kinesiology, sophrology, energy healing
Energy psychology is a collection of therapy practices that combine Eastern approaches to the mind and body with Western psychology. The latest neuroscience findings on trauma emphasize the importance of including non-verbal, body-oriented systems to effectively treat emotional problems.
If you are a teacher or practitioner of any energy or consciousness-based therapy, imagine the increase in power your clients will receive in sessions alternating with game drives, bush walks and good, healthy food. On top of that there’s the natural healing vibration that builds up when a group meets with a positive intention and without interruption from all the duties and distractions of the world, solely focused on having an enjoyable transformative experience together.
Cooking, special diets, detox, fasting, naturopathy
Want to change an unhealthy eating pattern? Or take a deep dive into a detox or fast? Or just explore local African cuisine? A nutrition-based workshop or retreat will immerse you in a new world of tastes, aromas and possibilities.
Depending on the area where the retreat or health workshop takes place, you will have the opportunity to visit community projects where you can buy directly from local farmers as you interact with them and learn from their cultures, thus supporting their sustainability. Fresh products will all be free-range and, where possible, organic as well.
If you don’t want to do the meal preparation yourself, we can find a professional chef who can be available for all meals or just selected occasions. Specific diets can be prepared for on request (vegetarian, vegan, keto, banting, etc.).
Indigenous medicinal plant, naturopathy…
Traditional plants – Traditional cultures believe that both nature and humankind are endowed with intelligence and spirit. They understand that plants have a spirit, so many trees and plants in the bush are believed to have special powers and medicinal uses. You will learn about them on guided walks with a local expert.
Teacher plants – Let us find for you the perfect nest for a ceremony using teacher plants such as san pedro or ayahuasca. Enjoy a profound journey in the most nurturing, caring environment and in perfect communion with nature.
We organise plant ceremonies with facilitators or doctors who are recognised experts in the practice and are legally insured for these health & wellness practices.
In Africa, the cradle of humankind, many forms of spiritual shamanic practices coexist. Shamans are highly respected and revered healers. They are also called to work with the land, animals and the environment.

Add onto that a drumming session, and your whole body and spirit will be emotionally transported beyond rational understanding, opening your mind and body to a transformative experience only few get to enjoy in this capacity.
