Indulge & expand your creative, artistic interests whilst immersed in the vibrant local culture, breath-taking scenery and magical wildlife on a safari experience in Africa!

 

Imagine painting and drawing under the vast, open skies, capturing the vivid colors and dynamic landscapes that are unique to this continent. 


Embark on a transformative journey that blends the wonders of creativity with the splendor of Africa’s natural beauty. 


Alongside the artistic experience, this journey also invites you to reconnect with yourself through the holistic practices of yoga, breathwork, and meditation. The serenity of the African wilderness serves as the perfect backdrop for these wellness activities.


We not only reconnect with ourselves and nature but also engage with local communities, absorbing history, knowledge and wisdom, whilst supporting conservation efforts. 


This really is the trip of a lifetime, designed to guide you through this transformative experience!

We take you across two countries, visit a natural wonder of the world up-close, experience sailing along the magical Zambezi River, see an array of incredible animals in their natural habitat, as well as indulging your artistic interests, moving your body and connecting deeper within yourself. 


Find your artistic and creative inspiration. 

Learn new skills or improve your sketching and drawing techniques, even try your hand at basket-weaving. 

The thrill of going on a night safari! 

The amazing sights of a variety of very large wild animals in their natural habitat!

Move your body with gentle morning Yoga and Breathwork sessions.

Gaze at the majestic blanket of stars above you, relaxing around the fire-pit in the evenings. 

Relax and reflect through Meditation and Mindfulness.


The perfect balance of learning, relaxation and adventure. 


You will, without a doubt, have a million fantastic experiences you can only have in Africa, so make the most of it! Wake up early, move, learn, observe, create and enjoy the peace and serenity around the campfire each night. 


We've packed everything into this once-in-a-lifetime trip!


LEARN, OBSERVE, CREATE, RELAX...

 

Exploring the world of drawing and sketching is a rewarding journey, regardless of your skill level. 

Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out.

Drawing and sketching offers a unique way to express emotions, capture moments, and communicate ideas without words.


In this magical place, you'll find your creativity flows more freely.

Embrace the experience, experiment with different styles and techniques.

The true beauty of art lies in the personal touch one brings to each piece and how we express ourselves individually.
