Can you arrange yoga or spa treatments?

Yes — we work with lodges that offer in-house spa treatments and can arrange a yoga instructor at select properties.

Is this style more expensive?

Not necessarily — it usually means fewer transfers and longer stays, which can be similar in cost to a faster-paced multi-park trip.

Can this be combined with a normal safari?

Yes — many guests do an active first half (game drives) and a slower, restorative second half.

Safari Type

Wellness Safari.

What is it

Safari, slowed down

A wellness safari builds in deliberate stillness — fewer parks, longer stays, spa treatments at lodges that offer them, and quiet time built into the schedule rather than back-to-back transfers. It pairs naturally with a Zanzibar or coastal extension for a full reset at the end of the trip.

Best for

›Travellers wanting to properly switch off
›Pairing safari with a beach or spa extension
›Fewer parks, more time in each one
›A restorative trip rather than a checklist trip
