Welcome to the Yoga & Wellness Safari, a deeply restorative journey set in one of Kenya’s most iconic conservancies. Over six rejuvenating days, you’ll trade urban noise for the call of the wild, blending sunrise yoga sessions, immersive game drives, and meaningful conservation encounters in a setting where serenity meets raw African beauty.
Your retreat unfolds in the untamed sanctuary of Ol Pejeta Conservancy, home to the Big Five, the last two northern white rhinos on Earth, endangered Grevy’s zebra, and a community-driven model of conservation success. Ol Pejeta offers an intimate, purpose-led safari experience with rich wildlife diversity and powerful stories of protection and hope.
You’ll stay at The Safari Cottages, a peaceful, owner-hosted hideaway tucked deep in the bush. With only a handful of thoughtfully designed cottages, the atmosphere is personal, private, and quietly luxurious, perfect for reconnecting with yourself and the natural world around you. Farm-to-table meals, authentic hospitality, and fireside evenings under the stars create a rhythm of ease and reflection.
Throughout the week, your days will flow between yoga, game drives, visits to local women’s cooperatives, and moments of deep stillness. From the thrill of spotting lions at dusk to preparing Swahili dishes over open flames, every experience is curated to awaken your senses, support conservation, and nourish your spirit.
