Soulful Reconnection

Our bodies need nature, and there is nowhere quite like the African continent to reconnect with the world at its most elemental – and with yourself – and to experience a deep sense of wellbeing.

From transformative journeys deep in the rainforest, where you’ll fill your lungs with the immaculate air of a place barely touched by humanity, to isolated beaches where wellbeing is intrinsic to the way of life, and ancient deserts where silence prevails and one can simply sit in contemplation, the continent is full of magic and healing powers.

We can’t imagine a better place to switch off and reconnect with yourself than when surrounded by azure waters and cotton-candy sands on a desert island. Welcome to Benguerra Island, where everyday troubles seem a million miles away and where the lapping of the waves gently soothes your soul. And did we mention there’s a spa if you need a little extra help?

Namibia

The NamibRand Nature Reserve in the Namib Desert is one of the quietest places on earth. It's a big claim to make but it is true.

Africa awakens instincts and intuitions that we perhaps didn’t know we had. In Botswana, you'll feel a sense of place at the campfire, flames flickering and lions calling in the night; on a game drive or a walking safari in the presence of the continent’s greatest wildlife; or on a mokoro, gliding peacefully through a landscape unchanged by time…

The blend of spiritual depth and natural beauty experienced on a trip to Ethiopia is a profound, transformative experience. The soul of the country is deeply rooted in ancient Christianity, with churches like Lalibela symbolising its sacred heritage, but the vast landscapes that echo ancient humanity's origins are equally as awe-inspiring for all visitors.
