Wild Awakening: South African Yoga & Safari Retreat
The Retreat
Wild Awakening
The Wild Awakening Yoga Safari Retreat is a unique blend of yoga, meditation, sound healing, hiking, wild swimming, horse-riding and African safari magic. It’s your chance to reconnect with yourself while exploring one of the most breathtaking places on Earth — the wild heart of South Africa.
The Venues
Nambiti Game Reserve & Drakensberg Mountains
Our luxury safari lodge is nestled in the private reserve Nambiti — Imagine waking to the soft golden light of the African dawn, sipping your morning coffee as elephants wander in the distance.
​
Midway through the retreat, we travel to the majestic Drakensberg mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for dramatic peaks, deep valleys, and pristine rivers. Here, we’ll hike, wild swim, and take in sweeping views that will stay with you forever.
