Her story is one of serendipity and a deep connection with the African wilderness. Today, she invites you to join her on a soulful adventure, combining the ancient practice of yoga with the thrilling experience of a safari.

The Safari Yoga Retreat

The Safari Yoga Retreat is designed to immerse you in nature's wonders. Each day begins with gentle yoga sessions led by Jacquie, where you'll find your center and connect with the world around you. The open-air yoga platform provides a unique backdrop – a sweeping vista of the African savannah. With the rising sun as your witness, you'll practice yoga and meditation, allowing your spirit to soar.

Embrace the Safari Experience

Beyond the yoga mat lies a world of adventure waiting to be explored. Hoedspruit is renowned for its wildlife, and Pungwe Safari Camp is your gateway to the untamed African bush. Jacquie's intimate knowledge of the region and its inhabitants ensures that every safari expedition is a memorable one.

Venture out on morning game drives to witness the majesty of Africa's Big Five – lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinoceros. As your guide navigates the rugged terrain, you'll have your camera ready to capture these remarkable creatures in their natural habitat.

The magic of Hoedspruit doesn't end with the daylight. Sunset safaris offer a different perspective of the bushveld, as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. It's a time of transition, when the diurnal animals retire and the nocturnal creatures begin their nightly forays. Jacquie, with her extensive knowledge, will share insights into the captivating world of night-time safari.

Bush Breakfasts and Starlit Dinners

The retreats also include unique culinary experiences. Imagine enjoying a sumptuous bush breakfast in the company of zebras and giraffes. Or savouring a starlit dinner under the African sky, surrounded by the sounds of the wild. The cuisine is a fusion of flavours, with dishes that delight the senses and fuel your adventures.
