About this trip

Embark on an extraordinary 3-night mobile safari adventure through the wild heart of Botswana, designed to immerse you in some of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife regions. Starting in Munga Plains after the yoga retreat "Into the Wild", this journey takes you through the predator-rich plains of Savuti, the enchanting waterways of Khwai, and culminates with a scenic flight to the vibrant town of Kasane. Experience the best of Botswana’s natural beauty and wildlife while enjoying the comfort and convenience of a fully supported mobile safari.

What is a "Mobile Safari" ?

On a mobile safari, you’ll journey through remote and pristine areas in rugged 4x4 Land Cruisers, specifically designed for comfort and optimal wildlife viewing on off-road terrain.


As you travel, you’ll stay in simple yet comfortable camping tents, set up at exclusive HATAB (Hospitality and Tourism Association of Botswana) sites within Botswana’s renowned national parks, including Chobe National Park and the Moremi Game Reserve. These dedicated camping areas are carefully selected to offer prime wildlife viewing opportunities while ensuring your safety and privacy.


Our experienced team handles all aspects of the camp, from setting up the tents and preparing fresh, delicious meals to managing all logistics, so you can fully immerse yourself in the safari experience. While the tents are modest in size, they provide all the essentials you need for a comfortable stay in the bush. Safety is a top priority; our camps are set up in secure locations, and our team is trained to ensure your well-being throughout the journey.


A mobile safari offers a unique adventure, combining the thrill of up-close encounters with wildlife and the simplicity of life in the bush, all within the security and care of a dedicated team.

What to expect?

On this mobile safari, you can expect an authentic and immersive experience in the wilds of Botswana. Each day brings new opportunities to explore diverse landscapes and encounter incredible wildlife, from majestic elephants and big cats to colorful bird species. You’ll travel in sturdy 4x4 Land Cruisers, perfectly equipped for navigating off-road terrain, allowing you to reach remote areas that few get to see.


Expect a well-organized and safe adventure, with a dedicated team handling all logistics, ensuring you can focus on the excitement of your safari experience. Whether it’s a sunrise game drive or a quiet evening by the campfire, each moment will be an unforgettable part of your journey into the heart of nature.

Reviews

We had an awesome, action packed yoga safari retreat! Starting with a hike around Victoria Falls then a boat ride that consisted of a yoga safari on the Zambezi River where we saw elephants and hippos. The following several days Marcia led amazing yoga sessions that were tranquil, meditative and educational in a beautiful, peaceful atmosphere overlooking the Botswana African plains. The Munga team was great, especially Haskins the safari guide who has an incredible sense of finding animals and extreme knowledge of identifying wildlife…I never imagined we would see a live lion chase!! The glampling accommodations were very nice, food was good and the resort had very nice amenities. I also enjoyed learning about the culture and meeting the local people! I‘m grateful for being able to experience this yoga safari! I highly recommend Marcia’s retreats…I’ve attended a few…as she always combines the best of yoga, adventure and culture.

Unforgettable Retreat A fantastic experience from start to finish! As soon as I arrived at Victoria Falls Airport, I was warmly welcomed and from that moment on I was in the best of hands. The visit to Victoria Falls was an impressive experience, and the yoga session on the Zambezi River at sunrise was simply unforgettable - a magical atmosphere that will stay with you forever. On the way to Munga Plains, we were able to spot the first animals, which made the journey itself a bit of an adventure. Munga Plains is an oasis of tranquillity. The main lobby is very cozy and beautifully decorated. There is always coffee, tea and small snacks available, as well as filtered water which could be used at any time to fill the Munga Plain thermos flask. The cottage is simple but tastefully decorated and equipped with everything you need. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom large. The small veranda invites you to linger and the view is simply relaxing. The refreshing pool was a blessing in the high temperatures in October. Every day the chef spoiled us with wonderful dishes, which he served with a lot of love. The whole team treated us with warmth, respect and tireless dedication to pampering us. The short walk to the shala was another special experience. As soon as you leave the gate, it feels like you leave everything behind and take a step towards yourself. A unique place that offers relaxation and inspiration. Our yoga teacher Marcia was not only extremely professional, but also incredibly empathetic and attentive. From the very beginning, she made me feel truly understood and carefully tailored each exercise to my individual needs and abilities. Marcia took the time to understand exactly what would be helpful and beneficial for me personally and recommended specific exercises that suited me particularly well. Her appreciative approach and patient manner made me feel completely at ease and supported - a teacher who really puts her heart and soul into her work. I can warmly recommend this yoga Retreats in Munga Plains.
