Marcel is incredible!!! Very detail oriented, kind, and goes above and beyond to accommodate everyone in the group. As a young woman solo traveling abroad I was naturally a bit skeptical.. no one that I knew had gone to Namibia for a vacation but I had this intuitive pull to take this trip and I am so glad I did. I had the best time ever, learned a lot and saw a lot. Marcel picked great lodging spots (their websites do not do them justice.. lodging in person is so much better than what they have online). Also, in my humble opinion this is NOT a yoga retreat, this is a safari yoga ADVENTURE! I have done yoga retreats where you live, breath and do yoga like 3x a day; this is not one of those experiences. Yoga is definitely part of the experience but you'll be doing so many activities throughout the entire trip, I cannot say that yoga is the main course, it's more like the dessert of the trip. And honestly after doing so many activities throughout the day, it's really nice to end the day with Marcel yoga session, she's a great yoga teacher (showed stretches I have never done before). In my opinion, the main course of the trip is Namibia, and of course Marcel's guidance/knowledge about Namibia/all the animals. Fantastic trip 11/10 would recommend!!!!!! :)
