Experiences & Highlights

Wellness in the bush means unhurried days, soft light and spaces designed for rest. In Tanzania, Jabali Ridge offers soothing treatments and a pool carved into rock after days among baobabs and elephants. The Retreats at Namiri Plains provide private dining and quiet decks where silence settles after sunset. Chem Chem Lodge sits between lakes and old trees with gentle yoga and long lunches that stretch into nap time. In South Africa, Lion Sands Ivory Lodge brings in room spa time and riverside tranquility, while Simbambili and Simbavati Hilltop Lodge add serene pools and shaded salas.

In Namibia, Little Kulala pairs starry nights with desert stillness and slow mornings. On the Zambezi, Toka Leya offers river views and a calm spa to ease travel days. Winelands stays such as Erinvale and Lanzerac add easy walks in vineyards and restorative treatments. Guides set gentle schedules, breakfast can arrive late, and private vehicles allow you to shorten or lengthen drives as you feel.
