I am over-the-moon excited to invite you to the first CO-ED + Intermediate/Advanced wellness retreat offering hosted by Kala MacDonald, featuring guest teacher Daniel Novoa! We welcome yogis already advancing beyond the foundations of their practice, as well as those who wish to experience something new, fun, and challenging!
This all-inclusive luxury wellness safari will take place at the Shambala Private Game Reserve, just a scenic trek from beautiful Johannesburg, South Africa.
Our group will live in and enjoy the privacy of the Nelson Mandela Villa, where Mr. Mandela himself lived and worked for some time. I can personally attest to how much care, respect, and love the animals receive at Shambala, and we will be so lucky to meet them in nature during our adventures here, which will include guided game drives, brush walks and cruises down the Douw Steyn Dam. We will certainly also leave time for stargazing, spa treatments, daily practices, and dedicated silence.
While I usually hesitate to use the phrase “once in a lifetime” due to the incredible, private venue, the villa space being the former of Mr. Mandela (and host to many big names and celebs since, ahem, Oprah), the location being absolute luxury nestled in nature in gorgeous South Africa, and all this combined with wellness practices, time to be silent and still, time to adventure and explore, all-inclusivity, and more, it truly may be fitting to call this a once in a lifetime experience. You will leave our wellness bubble refreshed and reset, with new lifelong friends, and having seen some of the most rare peeks of safari nature, up close and personal.
I do hope you’ll join!
