Journey from the stillness of the wild to the rhythm of sea. I would love to invite you to Safari to Sea — a 7-night luxury wilderness wellness retreat in South Africa, in collaboration with A Taste of Wellness & Kenton Yoga. An intimate retreat of breath, beauty and balance.

What to Expect

Imagine starting your day with yoga as the sun rises over the African bush, then heading out on a game drive where lions, elephants, and rhino roam free, dinner around the fire and under the African Sky. After three nights at Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, we’ll trade the savannah for the sea — four nights at Homewoods Boutique Beachfront Hotel, where rivers, dunes, and beaches invite us to explore and unwind.

Each day will flow with yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness, alongside transformational workshops and specialised therapies. There will be time for stillness, adventure, laughter, and connection — shared in an intimate circle of just 8 guests.
