Move, Meditate and Mend

Set amidst the beauty of the bush, the communal lodge area overlooks a river-facing infinity pool and deck. The area provides a picturesque backdrop for relaxation and reflection. Here, guests can partake in yoga, meditation and other wellness activities, or unwind with a treatment in the outdoor spa. In fact, guests can book the camp’s three- or four-day wellness retreats, which are personally curated by Wellness Retreat Facilitator, Roeline Hansen. In essence, these holistic itineraries allow guests to engage in transformative wellness practices, including breathwork, yoga, tai chi or qigong. Not to mention magical storytelling beside the fire, stargazing and intention-setting journaling. Additionally, experiences like meditation, art therapy and educational workshops are also available.

The chefs incorporate locally sourced ingredients and traditional cooking methods to impress their guests in the most wonderful, captivating outdoor settings where open flames and smoke play an integral part in the dining experience. Every dish brings with it the magic of regional produce – from African grains and wild berries, to sustainably sourced venison, fresh vegetables and local herbs.
