6 DAY LUXURY YOGA SAFARI
reconnect with yourself in nature
This April 2025, immerse yourself in a luxury yoga safari in one of Africa’s most remote, untouched locations. Anabezi’s first annual Wellness in the Wild Retreat brings the tranquility of yoga in one of Africa’s most stunning landscapes. This experience invites you to slow down, to find balance, and to truly connect with the natural world around you. Each day begins with being present in nature: an invigorating yoga practice as the sun rises over the Zambezi or a game drive where you will witness some of the most spectacular wildlife Southern Africa has to offer, grounding you in the present moment.
In honor of our very first yoga retreat at Anabezi, we are offering a special reduced rate on accommodation for your stay with us. Join us on this mindfulness journey in the heart of Zambia’s wilderness at 50% off our standard green season rack rate for 2025!

With the Zambezi River flowing nearby and the vast African sky above, you’ll find a sense of peace and clarity that only nature can provide. This is your time to slow down, to listen to the rhythms of the wild, and to truly focus on your well-being.
In the evenings, as the sun sets and the sky fills with stars, you’ll gather with like-minded individuals to share stories, reflect on the day, and savor the luxury of your surroundings. This yoga safari is not just a retreat—it’s an opportunity to rediscover the joy of living fully and mindfully, supported by the timeless beauty of the Lower Zambezi. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or new to the practice, this experience offers something for everyone, providing the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and spiritual rejuvenation.
