“Just imagine—marigold twilight floats on the air, you spot a bathing hippo winking at you from the distance, and a server onboard asks if they can refill your rosé. Don’t mind if I do.”
I am over-the-moon excited to invite you to the third annual CO-ED luxury safari wellness retreat offering hosted by Kala MacDonald!
This all-inclusive luxury wellness safari will take place at the Shambala Private Game Reserve’s historic and iconic Nelson Mandela Villa, just a scenic trek from beautiful Johannesburg, South Africa. We will be the only guests on the reserve, so get ready to take up some space on this epic 26,000 acre private game reserve just for us.
Our group will live in and enjoy the privacy of Shambala during our stay, which will be reserved in its entirety for our intimate group. The space includes multiple private suites with en-suite and private patios, plus common areas including dual living room spaces, al fresco dining area, heated pool, bonfire courtyard, multiple fireplaces, and more. 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, bush walks and champagne soaked cruises down the Douw Steyn Dam. We will certainly also leave time for stargazing, spa treatments, daily practices, and so much more!
I do hope you’ll join!
