Join me within the magnificence of Mother Nature in all her glory ~
Exploring the Spirit that moves thru all beings
I first journeyed to Africa in 1991 and
have returned several times to explore different countries
AND every time I come home I have wanted to return
Again and Again and Again!
I’ve dreamed of sharing this most special place in my heart with
friends and family, yogis and adventurists …
Be.ing in Africa is life affirming + life changing.
The magnificence of Mt.Kilimanjaro
The graciousness, spirit and beauty of the people
Being in nature so close to wildlife is unexplainably jaw dropping …
Yoga means union ~ It is to connect, to join, to align.
Yoga is the way you live your life.
Yoga then means to me it is imperative to
Create + embrace meaningful moments each day
I have intentionally chosen the adventures within our itinerary with the mindset to:
~ Support local communities + organizations and their humanitarian efforts
~ Stand in solidarity preserving nature + wildlife thru conservation efforts
~ Provide access + opportunities for education + empowerment
~ I am committed to Meaningful + Responsible travel AND Giving Back.

Yoga, game drives, explorations… This is YOUR adventure to follow your energy and interests as they present themselves!

We will be met upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport and privately transferred to our home away from home complete with amazing views of Mt. Kilimanjaro for our first few days in Tanzania. If you arrive prior to our start dates ( June 1 / June 16 ) private transfers can be arranged for additional fee.
After settling in, stroll the property, find a quiet space in the gardens, swim, nap… as you wish!
We will enjoy an early evening with Gentle Yoga in the Yoga Shala before our first amazing dinner. Early to sleep, the stars will lull you to sleep!
Overnight: Chele Chele Villa

Awaken with Yoga and continue unwinding from our travels. After a farm to table breakfast we will drive to Arusha National Park for a days game drive complete with homemade picnic lunch. Arusha Nat’l Park is the perfect place to begin our Safari!

Abundant herds of elephant are known to reside here as well as giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and even leopards can be spotted! After checking in we might meet at the pool or enjoy our own personal decks, sunken couches and outdoor bathtubs (!) ( in addition to the ensuite ones inside ) before our first dinner at Lemala …

Heading out after an early breakfast we begin our privately guided drive in 4 by 4 safari vehicles to the Serengeti’s “Endless Plains” where we hope to be graced with The Wildebeest Migration. Although only a few hours away we will enjoy a slower more relaxed approach with a game drive en route to Nanyukie Camp. Open savannah grasslands, granite rocky outcroppings, the immensity of the Serengeti … Lemala Nanyukie was a place where “big” cats were studied… might a cheetah hop on our bonnet?! Settle in, unpack, lounge at the pool, there is a sundowner awaiting you before dinner!! One yoga practice ~ timing tbd
Overnight: Lemala Nanyukie Camp
8th June, 2024 & 23 June, 2024
After breakfast we will either be privately led for a morning and early evening game drive with lunch at the camp or a full day game drive with picnic lunch. Remember EVERYTHING is optional ( game drives, yoga but please not the meals! ) and at any point you can stay back to enjoy the beauty of where we are at.
One yoga class ~ timing tbd
