What Exactly Is a Wellness Safari

Exploration blended with self-care

For all the reasons people go on safari - to escape everyday routines, leave behind city tensions, connect with the beauty of wildlife - a wellness safari only adds to those purposeful intentions.

It's a restoration of your physical and mental wellbeing: all the benefits of a healthful retreat, exploring emotional and personal growth, with the luminous backdrop of Kenya's and Tanzania's parks and wildlife.

Mindful and Physical

Guided meditation, massage, yoga - and a bike ride past the animals

Take a break from the 4x4 for a directed nature walk encouraging mindfulness and a real connection with Africa's flora and fauna - its close-up bouquet of colours, smells and sounds.

A bike ride past grazing buffalo, giraffe and zebra offers a new perspective and a physical challenge, while a state-of-the-art gym with elephant and antelope views rounds out the exercise options. After a day hiking or biking, a well-earned massage, spa or ayurvedic treatment is just the ticket.

Getting Ready

Preparing for your wellness journey

Before you depart, think about what you'd like to gain from the trip - strict relaxation, a reconnection with self or others, time to reflect on life goals, or something else entirely.

What activities will best enable those things? You'll certainly enjoy blissful sunrise meditations, but don't overlook the joy an exciting game drive brings to every aspect of your wellbeing - and don't miss the chance to connect with local communities along the way.
