One of the most profoundly healing experiences for your nervous system is reconnecting with nature. Experience the heart of Africa and the cradle of humanity on this epic Yoga Safari Adventure!
Botswana offers one of the world's finest safari experiences. A leader in sustainable tourism, Botswana's parks and game reserves are some of the most well-protected in the world.
Chobe National Park is Botswana's first national park, and also the most biologically diverse, home to over 2500 species of plants and over 650 species of trees. With its unparalleled wildlife encounters, peaceful boat safaris, rich birdlife, accessible cultural experiences, and luxurious lodges, Chobe offers far more than just a typical safari!
Located only 90 minutes drive from the UNESCO listed Victoria Falls which straddles both Zambia and Zimbabwe, Mosi-oa-Tunya is the world’s greatest sheet of falling water and the beginning and end point of our adventure. Our adventure begins with Yoga by the Zambezi River and an opportunity to experience this natural wonder up close and personal!
Botswana is one of the most stable countries in Africa and on the top 10 safest countries to visit in the world. Botswana is consistently ranked as one of the safest countries in Africa. It sits landlocked in the middle of Southern Africa, sandwiched between Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe and provides an ideal basecamp for advenurous yogis to explore the diversity and majesty of the African bush and Kalahari Desert.
Chobe National Park boasts massive herds of elephants, estimated to be around 50,000 and the largest wildilfe concentration by area in Africa. Across the four ecosystems of the park there are large concentrations of lion prides, African Leopard, African Wild Dog, Antelope, Impala, Zebra, Wildebeest, Hippopotamus, and over 500 species of birds.
Home of the San Bushmen, Botswana has been considered important as the birthplace of modern humans. Archaeological evidence of habitation includes stone tools and animal remains indicating that all areas of the country were inhabited at least 400,000 years ago.
Connecting with local communities to experience life as they do and learn about their cultural traditions is part of the trip itinerary.
Imagine waking up with sunrise yoga with the sound of lions roaring in the distance!
