South Africa | 20 – 28 april 2025
A 3-step retreat:
A mythical destination, as much for its grandiose landscapes and animals as for its culture, history and gastronomy, the “rainbow nation” welcomes you warmly during these 9 days of detox and well-being in the African wilderness.
Your journey will take you to the Limpopo region, lungs of the country, where the vast majority of fruits and vegetables are grown.
Limpopo is also the region of the wilderness and safaris, in particular the small town of Hoedspruit, a little safari hub where rangers, lodge managers and tourists meet!
20 – 28 April 2025
9 days / 8 nights
Immerse yourself in adventure with our 5-star safaris, where our expert guides will accompany you for an unforgettable experience. Visit a Conservation project. Be in awe at the majesty of the Blyde River Canyon, the third largest canyon in the world…
Immerse yourself in a wildlife paradise where every sunrise reveals new treasures to be discovered in the heart of the private game reserves.
