Eight days in the heart of Africa
Accommodation and meals
Enjoy 2 nights in shared rooms, at the incredible Phalwana Lodge, in the Greater Kruger Area of South Africa.
We’ll stay in private, beautifully appointed villas at Phelwana Game Lodge. Spaces are tranquil, rooted in nature, with lounging areas and a private pool for moments of rest or reflection.
Our retreat is offered on a half-board basis, meaning breakfast and dinner are included. Mornings begin with a wholesome buffet - fresh fruits, cooked options, grains - to fuel your day. In the evenings, we come together over three-course dinners that offer meat, fish, or vegetarian choices, always prepared with care. Lunch is available à la carte when we are at the lodge or between excursions.
Pricing & deposits
To secure your space, a £500 non-refundable deposit is required, followed by monthly instalments in the run up to the retreat start date.
