Walking Safari
We have our own private ranger to take us on walks every morning and afternoon (all activities optional). He will guide us safely and share invaluable insight into the ways of the fauna & flora around us.
Yoga & Meditation
Maggie and Beatrice will facilitate yoga and mediation each day. They have both been teaching yoga for many years and met while completing their Jivamukti teacher training in India. They shared a jungle cabin together for a month and discovered how much they had in common, above all their love & respect for nature.
Maggie has a passion for African wildlife & conservation and has spent time in various national parks all over Southern Africa with her family. Currently teaching yoga in London, her dream is to spread the sense of wholeness & peace that she experiences in the African bush, as well as in her regular yoga & meditation practice.

Beatrice believes with consistent practice, it opens opportunity to create and nurture connection with ourselves and with others. In addition to building strong physical bodies, yoga allows us to become flexibility in the body AND the mind. It helps us conquer fears, avoid injury, improve balance, and lead a more mindful and conscious life. Yoga brings people back to their natural state, one of true happiness and joy.
