Overview
Spend twelve engaging days traveling through southern Africa on an inspirational journey and wildlife Safari
You will travel authentically with an intimate group of eight people with Dawn as your trip leader. This Adventure is created in collaboration with Michael Haines of Safari & Company who has been in the forefront of African safaris for the past 30 years. An African safari is a journey like no other; you feel connected to this ancient land and it’s genuine people.
The journey begins in Africa’s mother city – Cape Town. Enjoy three days exploring this iconic destination with its stunning coastline and mountains. From Cape Town you fly north to the vast wilderness of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Enjoy eight days on safari in pristine wildlife areas, from the Kalahari Desert to the plains and rivers of the Okavango. You will be expertly guided all along the way by local guides, who will show you Africa’s most amazing wildlife. Interact with the spiritual Bushmen tribe, the original inhabitants of this part of Africa.
Join Dawn on this inspirational African safari with presence and gratitude. Traveling with purpose and moments of integration, brings in a beautiful sense of grace as we move through unknown lands to greet new cultures, eco systems, people and animals with Awareness. Dawn will offer optional mindfulness meditation and light yogic movement for all levels.
DESTINATIONS
We have carefully selected exclusive villas and private reserves that offer the exclusivity and behind the scenes experience that is unparalleled.
Go on safari game drives in search of desert wildlife such as zebra, oryx, springbok, lions and more. If there is still water in the Makgadi Salt pans, large herds of migrating zebra can be seen. Educational walks with local Bushman people are also a highlight.

These natural wonders provide a tranquil haven for an abundance of African wildlife to thrive.
