About this trip

RECONNECT WITH YOUR SOUL AS YOU ENTER A WORLD OF FREE ROAMING WILDLIFE AND MOVE WITH YOUR BREATH AS YOU LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS OF NATURE AMONGST MAJESTIC LANDSCAPES.

We will spend 3 nights at a beautiful lodge close to Namibia’s Greatest wildlife sanctuary - Etosha National Park. Game drives to the park will be with experienced guides in open air safari converted vehicles. Numerous waterholes are found throughout the park and these provide the much-needed water to the animals. The park is home to 114 species of mammals (including Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Wildebeest, Giraffe, Hyena, Zebra, Springbok, Kudu, Gemsbok, Eland) , 340 bird species and 110 reptile species which make game viewing in Etosha a unique experience. If the game viewing itself is not impressive enough, the Etosha Pan definitely is, as it is even visible from space. Morning and afternoon yoga sessions will be held on an outdoor yoga deck amongst nature. 


After our wildlife experiences, we move to the coast for adventurous days in Swakopmund. With German Colonial Architecture, palm trees, good restaurants and gift shops, it has a laid back feel to it.  For the more adventurous, there are a variety of extreme sports from skydiving, quad biking, fat wheel biking, ocean safaris, dune boarding and surfing. Our yoga sessions will be held in the Desert and along the Ocean.


What better way to end this retreat, than with more wildlife and relaxation at Gocheganas Nature Reserve. With 25 different wildlife species, game drives and walking activities are welcomed as an enriching experience. Wellness facilities and treatments of a world class standard ensure a renewal of mind, body and spirit.

Yoga & Acroyoga Safari Retreat was the trip of a lifetime! The itinerary was very carefully curated and full of activities. Our accommodation was beautiful, very comfortable and varied. Etosha Village was right in the heart of nature. We had our yoga sessions with the backdrop of the most beautiful sunsets. The safari park was at our doorstep and both Marcel and Buzzy were very knowledgeable ( also really good company). Our Swakopmund accommodation was located at the doorstep of the desert with dune views from our windows. We had a fantastic flight above the desert at Sossusvlei and a stunning hike on top of the biggest dune. every day was special and unique. Thanks Marcel and Anna for organising, thank you for all the chats and the yoga and acro sessions, it was wonderful!

What a wonderful retreat and experience, led by the attentive, passionate and knowledgeable Marcel! Traveling with Marcel, the founder of Namaste Yoga Safari, feels like meeting up with a local caring friend; it never feels you are part of a group or following a strict schedule as Marcel has a unique ability to feel the the vibe and constantly adjusts the planning and activities to fit the mood of the guests - never too much, never too little. Although she has traveled the world and seen countless wildlife, she is not blasé and is in much in awe of the wildlife as you are, reinforcing the sense of community and intimacy she creates so quickly with her guests. We saw amazing wildlife, lions were incredible, stayed with an incredible conservationist couple who gave us insights into the conservation challenges faced in SA, slept in very well equipped tents and had super good food and desserts. We laughed a lot too! It was my second trip with NYS and I am planning my third one for 2023. Thank you Marcel for hosting this wonderful retreat.

Muriel, where do I start - it's because of beautiful souls like you, why I do what I do, and LOVE what I do;) Without you it would not be possible to share these amazing adventures and special moments... - WE fell asleep with the roars of lions in a distance - WE woke up to the most beautiful sunrises and laid in savanasa underneath the African sky - WE moved with our breaths and grounded ourselves with the surrounding nature - WE tracked wildlife on our safari drives and saw countless stars at night - WE laughed - WE licked some sun - WE listened - WE observed - WE learned - WE had delicious meals while viewing the animals out in their natural habitat - WE had fun - WE relaxed - WE made memories - WE - WITHOUT ALL OF YOU, WE would not be possible - and I know WE will make some more great memories in the next destination... PS: Still using and loving my LUSH products:)))) xxx

This Retreat was such a unique and fulfilling experience, it was very well organised whilst still allowed for flexibility of the group's needs. Marcel has incredible knowledge and energy which she radiates. The safari/conversation camp was a really rare opportunity to see a non-commercialised and ecologically grounded game reserve in a fairly unvisited part of South Africa. The activities were tailored around the group and the daily yoga was great, Marcel adapted it to our activities and needs throughout the week. Thank you so much, I can't wait to travel with you again.

Ohhhhh Buffalo Soldier ;)))) This trip is one to remember - so many good times and great laughs. I just read this again about buffalo spirit animals - such great meaning to it and especially love the part where they say: " The Buffalo totem requires you to establish a deep connection to the Earth. It will ask you to support the endangered species of our planet. Thus, he will bring you ‘strength of character’ as well as an independent spirit. With this power animal, you will generate prosperity, abundance, and have plenty of resources. This manifestation cannot be pushed or forced. Therefore you must follow the most natural path". Hmmmmm - Maybe no coincidence that you were in very close contact with a buffalo while establishing a deep connection with yourself and to earth, while on a yoga & wildlife conservation retreat supporting endangered species?? ;) - Something to think about... https://www.spirit-animals.com/buffalo-symbolism/ Our paths will meet again somewhere for sure!! xxxxx
