The Place
An intimate camp built with care and purpose.
Every piece of wood, canvas, and thatch in our camp was placed with intention, so that if it were removed tomorrow, nature could quietly reclaim the land as its own. With comfortable en-suite rooms, the camp offers an intimate setting designed for one retreat group at a time.
The Shala
A shala facing the savannah.
Set intentionally a short meditative walk from camp, the journey to the shala becomes part of the practice itself. Open plains stretch toward the horizon, dotted with palm trees and acacias, while wandering zebras occasionally pass through the landscape beyond.
Designed to keep you connected to nature, the shala is open to the wilderness around you. In case of wind and cooler temperatures, transparent canvas screens can be rolled down to offer protection. Fully equipped for up to 20 practitioners, the space includes mats, blocks, belts, bolsters, straps, blankets, aerial hammocks, and sound bowls.
The Tented Rooms
A tent on the plains.
Ten beautifully finished double glamping rooms, along with two reserved for visiting retreat leaders, are each set on their own wooden deck with a private veranda. Inside, you’ll find a wardrobe, fan, mosquito net, and comfortable beds that can be configured as either king or twin.
Each tent features an en-suite bathroom with a flushing toilet and hot-water shower. By night, the soft sounds of the bush drift through the canvas, grounding you in the wilderness around you.

The Main Area
The heart of the camp.
Elevated and tucked behind swaying palms, the main area is a space to gather, unwind, and take in the stillness of the plains. A bar, communal dining area, swimming pool, and relaxed lounge spaces all look out across the savannah.
It invites long meals beneath the thatch and slow mornings with coffee at sunrise.
The Boma & Pool
Fire at night. Water to relax.
The boma is where the camp gathers after dark. Dinner moves here on clear nights beneath the open sky, surrounded by low benches, candlelight, and the distant sounds of the bush carrying through the night.
Just beyond the deck, the pool looks out across the plains. A place to cool off between practice and safari, where the stillness of the water mirrors the landscape beyond.

How it was built
Locally sourced, hand-finished.
Every structure at Munga Plains was built by local artisans in wood, canvas, and thatching grass: nothing prefabricated, nothing imposed on the landscape. Each space was created to exist gently within the plains, in rhythm with its surroundings.
Entirely off-grid, the camp is designed to exist lightly on the land. Water is sourced from our own borehole, with on-site water and sewage treatment systems. Solar power sustains the camp’s daily rhythm.
