After an invigorating yoga practice, we will begin our journey to Botswana. Along the way, we will jump right into our safari adventure with a Boat Cruise and Game Drive through the Chobe National Forest. Potential exists to see all 5 of the big game right here on your first day. Keep your eyes open for leopards, rhinos, elephants, lions, buffalo, giraffes and other wild friends before you even arrive at our destination!

We'll start our day with yoga and spend most of our time relaxing on the property, journaling, and connecting our circle more deeply through the stillness of the African Savannah. When evening arrives, we'll venture out for a walking safari and watch the breathtaking sunset together before returning to the lodge for dinner. Before bed, we'll gather once more for meditation under the stars.

After yoga and a relaxing day at Munga Plains, we'll set out on a lengthier game drive. As we dive a bit deeper into the park and explore its divers ecosystem, you will be sure to meet more and more varieties of animals. Chobe is famous for its elephants and is home to an extimated 50,000 of them, so it is highly likely that we will see them along the way. You may also spot antelope species like impalas, kudus and sables, or elegant giraffes grazing on tall trees. When we return to the lodge, we can share our wonder at our group dinner and retire to the yoga shala later for a meditation on connection.

Today starts as usual with a mindful movement practice in the morning and a leisurely early afternoon before our highlight: a Mokoro safari on traditional canoes. Thousands of years ago, the Bushmen used dug-out canoes to effortlessly move around the Okavango Delta. Today, eco-friendly versions are used for game viewing safaris and the mokoro has become the iconic symbol of the Delta. Gliding over mirror-like bodies of water in one of the most idyllic spots in the world is an experience that is quite unrivalled. From this vantage point, the size and scale of all you see seems even more special.

-note that this is dependent upon seasonal rains and floodwaters. If we are unable to do this activity, a similar one will replace it.

After an inspired movement class, delicious breakfast and lunch and time to relax, we will make our way into the local village to learn more about the area and culture in which we are immersed. Situated on the former tribal land of the Basubiya people,  Munga Plains honors their cultural heritage by hiring local staff, supporting artisans, and collaborating on community projects. As guests, we get to experience local traditions and lifestyles, ensuring that our visit positively impacts the community.

After dinner, we will venture out for a night game drive to see if we can spot all of the animals that are more shy during the day.

As we prepare to move beyond our circle and ripple back into the world around us, we will explore what it means to carry such an experience with us beyond Botswana. Expect lots of time for connection, journaling and envisioning your impact. In the afternoon, we will take our final game drive to soak in the wild one last time. 

After a light breakfase, you can choose to transport back to Vicoria Falls Airport and on to your home destinations, OR, stay a few more days for an incredible mobile safari inside of Chobe National Park.
