Hoedspruit, South Africa - Date 05/25/2025
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Our Women Only 7-day Walking Safari Retreat aims to reconnect you with the Earth and with yourself thanks to the raw power of the South African savanna. Under the magic of the New Moon, we invite you to push past your fears and unlock your inner potential through moderate walking safaris, yoga, meditation, life coaching, a bush sleepout and more, all amongst the wildlife of Big 5 game reserves in the Greater Kruger. You will be hosted at two luxurious lodges along the banks of the perennial Olifants River: Bundox River Lodge and Sashwa River of Stars. The retreat also supports Koru Camp, a local conservation project with a mission to empower wildlife communities: by taking part, you are sponsoring 3-nights at Koru Camp for a local Girl Club!

ABOUT THE ORGANIZER
Our retreat is a collaboration between Tsala Trails and Tanzanite Travels and will be hosted by 3 amazing women:
Natalie is a wanderer and has many travel miles under her belt, across three continents - from backpacking routes to five-star stays and everything in between. A keen yogi since 2007, Natalie is a Yoga Alliance certified yoga instructor, meditation guide, and certified life coach with a special focus on exploring the feminine psyche. She brings these skills to the fore in her program designs for women's trips.
Daniella embodies the spirit of adventure! She has spent twelve years as a field guide in Africa. From humble beginnings in the Kruger National Park to the luxurious Sabi Sands Big-5 Private Game Reserve, Daniella has seen sights most people only dream of!
And finally, Eurydice uprooted her whole life to South Africa to become a Field and Trails Guide and recently travelled to India to be able to teach yoga out in the middle of the African bush. She has a passion for environmental education, whether that's connecting local communities with their wildlife heritage or reconnecting people to themselves and what matters through the wonders of nature.
