Our Approach

Affordable, Authentic, and Soulful Kenya Safari & Yoga Retreats

We believe the most meaningful journeys are rooted in connection — to nature, to local culture, and to yourself. That’s the essence of our Kenya safari and yoga retreats. We blend movement, mindfulness, and real adventure, all grounded in simplicity and respect for the people and landscapes we travel through.

What Makes Our Retreats Different

1. Nature First

We build our retreats around the healing power of nature. From sunrise game drives in the Maasaï Mara to peaceful walks along Lake Naivasha, every moment invites stillness, presence, and awe. Our nature-based safari retreat in Kenya is designed to reconnect you to the wild — gently and soulfully.

2. Yoga & Wellness at the Core

At the heart of this retreat lies a deep commitment to presence, connection, and the kind of self-discovery that unfolds when we step away from our usual rhythms. Nina, a dedicated yoga teacher who began her journey after an intensive training in Thailand in 2018, brings years of experience to thoughtfully guide daily practices that are both grounding and expansive. Keep in mind that this is not a traditional yoga retreat, nor an intensive course. Here, yoga becomes a doorway: a way to awaken the senses, tune into the rhythm of the wild landscapes around us, and soften into stillness after days rich with adventure. With a gentle yet profound approach, our sessions are designed to bring the group together, creating space for individual reflection and collective presence. Each moment on the mat becomes an invitation to feel more deeply, breathe more fully, and return to ourselves, with greater clarity, connection, and calm.

3. No Luxury Markup

We believe wellness and adventure should be accessible. That’s why our affordable Kenya retreat strips away the fluff — but never the comfort. Stay in locally-owned lodges and eco-farms, enjoy nourishing meals by a private chef, and experience the richness of travel without inflated prices.

4. Local Partnerships

We work with trusted Kenyan guides, chefs, and hosts to create authentic, respectful travel. By partnering with local communities, we support ethical tourism and ensure a deeper, more genuine experience for our guests.

Ethical, Mindful, Inclusive Travel

This retreat is for people who care about wildlife, nature and meaningful connections. We are proud to offer an experience that is:

Respectful to local cultures
Mindful of environmental impact
Welcoming to solo travellers, couples, and friend groups

This isn’t a five-star resort escape. It’s a real, rich, and meaningful journey — one where you can slow down, explore, and return home inspired.

Created by Two Friends with a Shared Dream

This retreat was born from a shared love for movement, nature, and transformational travel.

Nina, founder of Rive Gauche Yoga Studio in Copenhagen, leads the yoga and wellness; Kasia, a visual storyteller, documents the journey. Together, they help you connect more deeply to the experience.
