A Day on Retreat
A day on retreat.
Begin the day with a morning practice as the bush slowly awakens around you. Head out on safari to explore the wilderness. As the sun sets, gather for sundowners and dinner around the fire. The week unfolds through cultural workshops, traditional food, and local dance.
A Day on Retreat
Morning to evening, on the plains.
- Early
Light snacks
Fresh fruit, granola, tea, and coffee served in the main area before practice.

Yoga & Meditation
Move the body and quiet the mind in the shala.

Protein-rich dishes post-practice to re-energize.
- Midday
Lunch
After some downtime or a second practice, enjoy a nutritious lunch with salads, grains, and vegetables.

Safari
Game drive, walking safari, or mokoro. Every activity is different. Drives run dawn to noon or afternoon to dusk; full days too.
- Evening
Sundowner and dinner in the bush
Drinks on the plains and a braai featuring local cuisine, accommodating all dietary preferences.
- Night
Around the fire
Storytelling, stargazing, and a good night’s sleep whenever you’re ready.
Roam the Wild
Nature is all around you.
Without fences, animals roam freely and every safari unfolds differently. Home to the highest concentration of elephants in the world, Chobe National Park offers extraordinary wildlife where every sighting becomes a memorable moment.
Honor Local Traditions
The villages next door.
Most of our team come from the Basubiya tribe, whose traditions are rooted in the land. This is an opportunity to connect with the community that forms part of the Munga family.
The Food
A taste of Botswana, with a healthy touch.
Local Botswana recipes, healthy international cooking, and herbs and vegetables from our own garden where the season allows. Dishes draw inspiration from Ednah Rosen’s A Taste of Botswana, bringing local flavors and wholesome dining to the table.
Three full meals are served daily, along with snacks throughout the day. Vegan, vegetarian, and allergen-friendly options can be arranged in advance. Coffee, tea, juices, and water are always available. Our bar offers soft drinks, cocktails, wine, and beer at an additional charge.
What to Expect
The shape of a retreat here.
The blend
Wildlife, wellness, wisdom
Each day weaves together wellness practices with safari experiences and cultural connection. The balance is intentional: the stillness of the bush deepens the practice, while the practice itself changes the way you experience the wild.
Group size
8 to 20
One group only, exclusively hosted for the week. Intimate enough that by the second day, everyone knows each other by name.
Fitness
No minimum
Practices are designed to accommodate all levels and can be adapted to suit everyone. Walking safaris move at a gentle pace and remain accessible. Game drives offer a comfortable drive-in, drive-out experience.
Seasonality
March to December
Our retreats run throughout the dry season. June brings cooler temperatures, while October is the hottest month. Each season in between offers its own atmosphere, wildlife encounters, and rhythm on the plains.
