Description
Your first night’s stay will be in the heart of Nairobi at the Fairview Hotel. A five-star haven with lush green gardens and lovely views. Your African adventure begins the following morning with a visit to a tea farm and Sheldrick’s Elephant Orphange, but not after breakfast and a gentle yoga practice with Megan. On day three, we will take a private charter to Maasai Mara.
Each morning we will wake with the sun for a morning meditation with Chris and a nourishing breakfast before heading out on a game drive by 7am to experience the wildlife when it is most active.
Returning to the camp around 11am, we will have our yoga session before lunch.
In the afternoon, we will have the option to either relax in camp, do a gentle bush walk, game drive (around 4pm-6:30pm), or a talk on yoga or meditation.
In the evenings, we can gather around the campfire for a talk or late afternoon meditation, followed by a special dinner and singing into the evening from the local Maasai.
