About your trip

Join us for 6 nights and 7 days of Yoga, Safari and a Hike in South Africa


Our Yoga and Safari Retreat in stunning South Africa is designed exclusively for you. Unplug, unwind, and let us handle the details. Connect with fellow warriors, soak up the sun, and tap into nature's healing power—all while exploring the wild.  Come home rejuvenated and ready to conquer the world.

About the Retreat

For nearly a decade, I’ve been bringing small groups of like-minded souls to the heart of South Africa for a once-in-a-lifetime experience — and this year could be your turn.

This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a week where the wild meets the deeply peaceful. Each day begins with the sun rising over the African bush, the distant call of lions and birdsong carrying on the morning breeze. You’ll start with energising Vinyasa flows, grounding breathwork, and moments of quiet reflection. Afternoons might find you in a 4x4, spotting elephants, giraffes, or rhinos on safari, or relaxing by the pool with a fresh juice in hand.

Evenings are for slow, soulful Yin practices, sunsets that set the sky on fire, and shared dinners under a blanket of stars.

This retreat is perfect if you’re craving…

  • Adventure – Witness wildlife in its natural habitat on daily game drives.

  • Connection – Spend time with an intimate group of supportive, inspiring women.

  • Rejuvenation – Nourish your body and mind with yoga, meditation, and delicious fresh food.

  • Transformation – Step away from daily pressures and reconnect with your truest self.

Stacey Howe

With over 15 transformative retreats led across Greece, South Africa, and the UK, Stacey is deeply passionate about creating space for women to reconnect with themselves through the power of travel, mindful movement, and soul-nourishing experiences. Her retreats blend adventure with stillness, designed to inspire deep connection, self-discovery, and lasting transformation.


Trained in Ashtanga Vinyasa, Mandala Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Aerial Yoga, Pregnancy Yoga, Meditation, and Sound Bath Facilitation, Stacey weaves each of these practices into her retreats with a focus on intuitive movement, embodied awareness, and energetic balance.


Having owned and run several successful yoga studios, she has witnessed the profound transformation that happens when women gather with intention. Whether practicing under the sun-drenched skies of Greece, meditating to the sounds of the South African bush, or journaling beside the waves in Nicaragua, Stacey’s retreats offer more than just yoga—they offer a space to remember who you truly are.

South Africa

South Africa is an incredible and diverse country that has a special place in our hearts. It is a place that makes your soul happy and humbles you as a human in ways that cannot be explained with words.

Nature teaches us all we need to know about life, harmony, balance and strength, and from that the idea of nature and yoga retreat slowly started to develop. The importance of the conservation of wild animals and the natural beauty of the reserve allows us to have a deeper connection to nature and through it to ourselves.


Sun rise meditation - As you meditate and practice yoga with the sun rising and capture those special moments of game viewing on our daily safaris you become humbled by the beauty of the natural world.


Switch off and Connect - The aim of the retreat is to switch off from the rat race and the constant noise of the city, immerse yourself fully in the wilderness and to learn to come back to those moments through yoga and meditation.
