Safari & Yoga Retreat South Africa | Ujima Lodge

REDISCOVER YOUR WILD

Safari Serenity

Safari, Wellness & Time to Reset

This retreat is designed to bring together the energy of safari with the calm of yoga and time to truly unwind. Days unfold at a natural pace — from optional sunrise movement as the bush comes to life, to Big Five game drives out in the wild, followed by slow afternoons by the pool and relaxed dinners under the stars.

Whether you’re experienced in yoga or completely new, the retreat is open and accessible to all. It’s simply a chance to step away, recharge, and enjoy the beauty, space and wildlife of the African bush.

What to Expect

No two days are ever quite the same on retreat , the bush has a way of rewriting the script. That said, there is a rhythm we gently follow each day.

Mornings begin softly at sunrise, with the sounds of the bush coming to life. After a fresh brew of your choice, we gather for a grounding and energising yoga practice. Following a hearty, nourishing breakfast, the day opens up, time to relax by the pool or indulge in a wellness treatment. For those feeling more adventurous, you can walk or cycle through the reserve, passing zebra or catching a quiet moment with impala along the way.

After lunch, we head out for a Big Five safari, returning as the light softens, often pausing for sundowners as the day draws to a close. Evenings are unhurried, dinner under the stars, lanterns glowing and fires lit.

This is just a glimpse of a day on retreat. No two are ever quite the same, just like the bush itself.
