Yoga and Wildlife Retreat
This has been a dream of mine since as long as I can remember: To visit Africa and stay on or near an Elephant Sanctuary. Randomly, Sheldrick Wildlife came through my IG feed …. no idea why … but I’d like to think it was by magic. And here we are … going to Kenya, to stay within the grounds of Tsavo National Park for (6) nights and (7) days along the banks of the Galana River.
Unique Indeed:
This year, I adopted an elephant for my mom for Mother’s Day. So … I thought, with this retreat, why not adopt an elephant for every participant who attends this retreat. Leading up to the retreat, you will receive; a personalized adoption certificate, access to unique content, the latest Keepers' Diaries, videos and photos, and monthly email updates on your orphan and the project. And then, when you arrive Tsavo East, you will be able to visit one of the Elephant Reintegration Units, meet your adopted elephant and learn more about the project first-hand.
Nutritious Meals
Laura Bunting, owner of Safari Catering Co. personally designs all the menus. Having led numerous Wildlife and Safari Retreats, I’d say this woman knows what she’s doing. We will have meals at the Camp and also experience “Sundowners” in the Park.

Loose Itinerary
Since we are literally in Tsavo Park, most of our day will be spent on safaris, wildlife, and exploring the park. Each day will be different but it could include game drives, enjoying a bush breakfast, watching the sunset, or visiting the Elephant Reintegration Unit, where you can meet your adopted Elephant!
We have lunch in the camp and rest after a long, luxurious morning of exploring! You will have time to yourself to rejuvenate, connect with others, swim in the pool, or treat yourself to a massage. Our afternoon yoga will be more restorative and relaxing.
Luxury Eco Lodges
The conservation-focused properties we stay in Tsavo East National Park, operated by Sheldrick Trust, ensure that all proceeds from our stay directly contribute to wildlife preservation and support various projects within Tsavo.
