Details
Sounds of Africa retreat is the promise of an unforgettable one-week journey through Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) and Chobe National Park (Botswana), where daily yoga and sound healing practices will invite presence, reconnection and restoration; and be combined with epic safaris in Botswana’s authentic and exclusive wilderness, along with cultural and community moments. This retreat is designed for those who are longing for a real break away from everything, to restore, reconnect with themselves, and experience a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in the African wilderness. You can expect: - daily gentle & deeply recharging practices (yin-yang yoga, yin yoga, yoga nidra and sound healing journeys) designed to invite presence, reconnection and restoration - multiple unforgettable safaris in Botswana’s authentic and exclusive wilderness (expect elephants, giraffes, zebras... and very likely lions too) - cultural & community moments, such as a drumming workshop or visit to the local village - accommodation in a beautiful premium glamping-style lodge surrounded by the savannah (yes - there's also a pool ;-)) No particular experience in yoga or meditation is needed - the retreat is intentionally gentle and accessible (except if you are pregnant for safety reasons, due to the jeep safaris and remote location). Good to note that most people who have already signed up so far are coming alone, in case you're also a solo retreat-er!

Opened in May 2024 near Chobe National Park in northern Botswana, Munga Plains is a premium glamping and yoga facility, including 11 eco-tents with ensuite bathrooms and a yoga shala overlooking the savanna. Each tent at Munga Plains includes: double (or twin) bed(s), a luggage rack, wardrobe, veranda, fan, mosquito net, ensuite bathroom with shower to ensure a comfortable stay and retreat experience amidst breathtaking landscape and the whispering sounds of the African bush. The main living area at the heart of Munga Plains includes a lounge deck, bar & dining area, swimming pool and boma fireplace, and each eco-tent is set on wooden decking, and was built and furnished with artisanal locally crafted elements. With its special location, Munga Plains offers a truly remote escape, ensuring disconnection from the day-to-day, blending comfort with the wild, and offering an immersive experience in nature that rejuvenates the spirit. The camp is surrounded by the stunning beauty of the African wilderness, and is a prime location to discover local wildlife while being tucked away from the main tourist avenues and safe from any wildlife intrusion. It is both sustainable and self-sufficient: solar power, water treatment, and agriculture on-site, promoting conservation and local jobs. Please note the first two nights will be hosted in a partner hotel in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.
