Recharge spiritually and physically in pristine wilderness

We are happy to organize a unique safari experience in our remote walking camp in the heart of the African bush. This special trail is both for beginning and seasoned yogi’s and all other people wishing to participate in the magic of pure and undisturbed African nature. Being completely immersed in nature is a life-changing experience that will rebalance you and reconnect you to yourself. The focus of the trail will be on inviting and stimulating a deep sense of inner peace. You will feel nature’s power and the primal energy of the prolific wildlife that surrounds you. This deep connection with all natural elements and animals will rejuvenate your soul and ground you to the earth again. Early morning and late afternoon yoga or mediation sessions and musical experiences will be mixed with eventful bush walks and educational game drives.

A unique combination of the power of nature and soul

The bush will invite you to reconnect to her and to yourself. We will coexist peacefully with all big and small animals around us. Observing their behavior in their natural habitat will inspire us on our journey within. We will use different silence, yoga, meditation and other exercises during our walks and will invite you to share your experiences later that day by the campfire. All yoga and meditation sessions will be led by our professional yoga teacher. Your personal sound massage experience will be performed by our very experienced music and massage couple from Costa Rica. They will also arrange all musical celebrations and fire ceremonies. All bush walks and game drives will be led by our guides who will take care of your safety. They are highly trained and work in a safe and ethical way without impacting nature or its animals.

Day 1 :

Driving to camp with afternoon game drive, introduction and meditation session

Upon arrival at Maun Airport you will be picked up by your guides and driven to our camp in the Okavango Delta. In our unfenced camp you will get an introduction to the guides plus a safety briefing. We will go on a game drive where we will have sundowners and you will introduce yourself in a circle to the group. We will close the day with a meditation session.

In the next few days we will explore our area to get an understanding of the animal presence and their movements. As we prefer to walk in small groups we will split the group in two smaller groups and alternate the morning and afternoon safari parts of the program for those days. The personal sound massage experience will be held individually throughout the week.

What should I bring regarding my health?

We have a comprehensive First Aid kit in camp, on board our vehicles and on walks; we cannot however cover everything, if you have any medical problems or existing medical conditions please bring enough medication and inform us of these problems as soon as possible.

Do I need vaccinations?

We do not know what you have already been vaccinated for. So for vaccinations, please consult your local GP or health provider.

Do I need to take malaria pills?

Our camp is in a malaria area. Although it is very remote and therefore very unlikely for malaria to occur, it is better to be safe than sorry. We suggest you speak to your local GP or healthcare provider and take the action he/she recommends as there are various differing ideas about what prophylactics to take, if at all. Some of the prophylactics can cause side effects such as nausea, headaches and a lowering of your resistance to the sun and it is important to bear in mind that malaria can be contracted despite taking tablets. We provide insect repellent but you are welcome to bring your own and please use them liberally, especially in the warmer months.

What is the weather like?

Summer (October – April) is hot in the middle of the day, sometimes as high 40 degrees Celsius in October, our hottest month, but this is uncommon, becoming cooler but still warm at night. The average day time temperatures are in the mid 30’s dropping to the low 20’s during the night. Botswana is a summer rainfall region and late afternoon showers can be common from December to April.

What clothing should I bring?

Bring along a good jacket, scarf, gloves and woolen or fleece headwear if you are travelling in winter. It can get quite hot during the day so light summer clothing is also a must. The best was to deal with winter is to dress in layers.

Can I drink the local water?

Although Botswana’s water is generally safe to drink, we supply filtered water. It is important to remember to drink enough water while on safari. If you are traveling in the summer months you should bring rehydration salts to add to your water. One sachet per person per day will be sufficient and will prevent any dehydration problems. Rehydration salts are available in most pharmacies in powder form, which is the most suitable for travel.

Are all food and drinks included?

In Camp all meals are provided; please inform us if you have any special requirements or if you are allergic to any food. Water, tea and coffee and soft drinks are available all day. Wines, beers, spirits are available at sundowners and in the evening.

Are there any limitations for luggage?

On safari we prefer to travel light. If possible restrict to hand luggage only. Otherwise duffel/soft bags are preferable, as these pack easier into aircraft and vehicles, hard cases are not recommended.

Do I need to bring money?

Since your training is prepaid, you will not need to travel with much cash. Botswana currency is in Pula (P) and Thebe(t). Pulas can be collected with your credit- or bank-card at the ATM in Maun before departure to the bush. The best denominations to bring to Botswana are Euro and US Dollars.

Do I need to tip?

Tipping of our staff is optional and the amount is entirely up to you.

What are necessary items to bring?

Binoculars are a must for safari. 10*42 is an ideal magnification, but any will do.
A camera with extra rechargeable batteries.
A good torch, handheld or better: head torches with 3+ LED units (Petzl, Black Scorpion are good brands)

Is there electricity in camp?

As it is almost always sunny, we run on solar power. We have adequate electricity in camp and charging facilities for local, USB and European plugs. USA clients should bring converters to South African or European plugs.
