KENYA

Your journey begins with a warm welcome in Nairobi, where you’ll settle into the comfort of PrideInn Azure Hotel. For those arriving earlier or already settled at the hotel, there will be the option to join a short, 30-minute yoga session to unwind and gently arrive in the body after travel. In the evening, enjoy a relaxed group dinner; your first chance to connect with fellow travellers and ease into the shared rhythm of the days ahead. A soft landing before the adventure truly unfolds.

Today marks the official beginning of your safari adventure. After breakfast, we travel by 4x4 safari vehicles from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara, a region known for its wide open savannahs and rich wildlife. After settling into Mara Olodare Camp, we head out for a sunset game drive; your first introduction to the landscape and wildlife of the Mara, with the chance to spot elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and, if we’re lucky, big cats. In the evening, we return to camp for a relaxed group dinner, sharing impressions from the journey and the first sightings of the retreat.

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Maasaï Mara with a full-day safari adventure. Spend the day driving across savannah plains and along riverbanks in search of incredible wildlife moments. Enjoy a short yoga session and picnic lunch in the heart of the reserve. In the evening, gather around a cozy bonfire to share stories under the stars.

The day begins with a visit to a local Maasai village, offering insight into their traditions and crafts, with time to connect and browse handmade souvenirs if you wish. From here, we continue our journey toward Nakuru, crossing through Kenya’s changing landscapes. After checking into the hotel, the afternoon is yours to rest and unwind after travel. In the evening, we gather for a gentle yoga session before dinner, easing the body and preparing for the days ahead.

This morning, we visit Lake Nakuru National Park, famous for its stunning lakeside scenery and abundant wildlife. Keep your eyes open for flamingos, black and white rhinos, and the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe, with a chance to spot leopards or even tree-climbing lions. After a wildlife-rich game drive, we continue to the Sanctuary Farm in Naivasha, where the retreat setting, community, and nature fully welcome you for the next part of the journey.

These three full days at the Sanctuary Farm are your time to truly unwind, soak in the beauty of the surroundings, and let the retreat experience fully settle in. Mornings can begin with yoga, offering a gentle start to the day, or simply a quiet moment to enjoy the farm and its views. Throughout the day, you can choose from a variety of included activities: take a peaceful boat ride on Lake Naivasha, enjoy guided nature walks through the grounds, or go horseback riding among zebras, giraffes, and antelopes — with options suited to all levels, from gentle rides to more adventurous excursions. Between activities, relax, read, or simply soak up the sanctuary’s serene atmosphere. All meals are freshly prepared by our private chef, offering nourishing and creative dishes. These days are designed for freedom, connection, and restoration; a chance to move, rest, and explore however you wish.
