WELLNESS IN THE WILD
More travellers are ditching jam-packed holiday itineraries in favour of conscious travel experiences. A new trend called “mindful travel” focuses on freeing yourself of your normal responsibilities to allow yourself to reconnect with nature and nourish all aspects of your being Southern Africa is the perfect place to unwind in
diverse beauty, while enriching your mind and soul. Here are our top picks for wellness travel:
STAR-GAZING IN THE NAMIB DESERT What better place to reflect and reconnect with the universe than
under a clear, starlit sky? Thought to be over 55 million years old, the Namib Desert is free of light pollution, so the clarity of the night sky is magnificent. A number of companies offer a range of eco, guided or camping tours. Visit:

CAMP YA KANZI Based in Kenya, this award-winning eco-luxury camp is located
on a private game ranch and supports the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust. A visit enables you to revel in its natural beauty and wildlife, as well as participate in a range of wellness activities such as yoga and meditation classes in the middle of the savannah at sunset. Visit:

SEE THE WORLD DIFFERENTLY Dyer Islands Cruises, a premier boating company based in
Kleinbaai in the Western Cape, offers a safari unlike any other. Seeing the marine Big Five in their natural habitat is an unforgettable experience. Visitors can board a purpose-built, eco-friendly tour vessel to
have close encounters with whales, sharks, dolphins, seals and penguins in the company of experienced marine biologists and guides. Revel in the beautiful scenery and when you tire of gazing at the ocean, look up and appreciate the abundance of beautiful birdlife. Visit:
