You Teach. We Handle Everything Else.

Bring Your Group to Africa, Without Becoming a Safari Expert

Africa Yoga Safaris is a retreat travel curation company. We don’t run the yoga classes or safari activities ourselves — we design and manage the journey around them, working in association with trusted local partners, including Victoria Falls Yoga, who lead our Yoga With Elephants, Yoga on the Zambezi and Yoga at Victoria Falls experiences.

For retreat leaders, that means one point of contact for an entire trip across Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia or South Africa. Our team has a combined 50-plus years of experience arranging safaris and retreats in this region — we handle the logistics so you can focus on holding space for your group.

The Process

How a Group Retreat Comes Together

Retreat leaders travel free — ask us about our policy for group leaders when you enquire.

1Enquire

Tell us about your group size, teaching style, preferred destination and rough dates. No commitment required at this stage.

2Design

We build a full itinerary around you — lodges, transfers, practice venues and safari or river experiences — and share pricing for your group size.

3Confirm

Once you’re happy, we lock in every booking, deposit and contract directly with our partners on your behalf.

4Lead

Arrive and teach. We’re on the ground managing logistics so you can stay fully present with your group.

Victoria Falls Yoga

Our on-the-water and riverside yoga experiences — Yoga With Elephants, Yoga on the Zambezi and Yoga at Victoria Falls — are delivered in association with Victoria Falls Yoga. Their instructors know this stretch of river intimately; we build the rest of the journey around their practice.
