Remember Who You Are Women’s Safari Retreat
2025-11-28 - 2025-11-30 | Sashwa River of Stars, Sashwa River of Stars, 44KU Struwigrus, 1380, Struwigrus, South Africa
Imagine a women’s retreat that celebrates becoming less, a retreat that creates a space for unbecoming. A place to remove the many masks we as women wear every day.
A space for you to re-emerge.
Embark on a journey of self-rediscovery, supported and guided by the heart-opening, healing power of the wilderness in the Greater Kruger National Park.
Held in the nurturing embrace of Sashwa River of Stars, a plant-based wellness safari lodge nestled on the banks of the Olifants River, this retreat invites you to regulate, reset, and reignite your deepest soul identity.
Your days in the bush will awaken a renewed sense of connection as you move gently between mindful game walks, meditation journeys, and guided group explorations around identity, trauma, creativity, and movement. There will also be time to rest, reflect, and simply enjoy the beauty of this sacred land.
This retreat invites you to remember.
To remember the nature of your soul.To remember the whispers of your heart.To remember your true power.
And the real magic of this retreat? Your time at Sashwa not only empowers you, it also empowers other women. One hundred percent of Sashwa’s profits directly support Koru Camp, a conservation initiative that uplifts local youth and women through transformative wildlife experiences.

Wild Thing Yoga & Safari Retreat
2025-11-07 - 2025-11-11 | Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa
There is a place where the earth still hums with ancient rhythms, where elephants wander freely, the river flows slow and golden, and silence stretches wide like the sky.
The Wild Thing Yoga & Safari Retreat is a sacred pause in the heart of the Greater Kruger National Park. Held at Sashwa River of Stars, a plant-based wellness safari lodge perched on the banks of the Olifants River, this retreat invites you to reconnect with the one that is wild, wise, and alive within you.
Here, comfort meets raw beauty. Thoughtfully designed rooms open onto the wilderness, allowing nature to hold you while offering gentle luxuries.
Between yoga practices, soul-rooted workshops, and daily game drives, you’ll have time to simply be. Stretch out beside the river. Watch giraffes move across the horizon, soak in the sun, and journal under acacia trees.
This retreat is an invitation to rest and remember.
To return your wilderness within.
To feel the medicine of the land.
To remember that we are whole and complete just as we are.
And the heart of it all? Sashwa is a non-profit, so your stay directly supports Koru Camp, a conservation initiative that empowers local communities through education and environmental stewardship. This is travel that gives back, not just to you, but to the land and the lives that sustain it.
