Join us for an 8 day, 7 night yoga safari retreat at the base of Mount Kenya in Ol Pejeta Conservancy!
Reconnect to the heart of the wilderness by enjoying unlimited guided game drives, as well as diving deeper into the physical, mental and spiritual elements of the yoga practice within one of the country's most breathtaking areas.
100% of the proceeds from this retreat will be donated to Go Light Our World (GLOW)’s solar projects and Kindred Connection's animal conservation projects in Kenya. Not only will you be investing in a life-changing experience for yourself in a beautiful location; but you will also be giving back to the local community, as well.
