Discover African Monarch Lodges’ Retreats In The Wild
Rest is no longer indulgent. It’s essential.
In a world that moves too fast, rest has become a quiet rebellion.
At African Monarch Lodges, this understanding has shaped a new chapter that moves beyond travel toward soulful, transformative Retreats In The Wild. Rooted in our values of Care, community, and environmental stewardship, African Monarch Lodges’ wellness retreats offer something deeper than escape.
Here, nature is not a backdrop. It is a teacher, a healer, and a facilitator in the journey back to self.
Redefining Luxury: Silence and Soul
Luxury at African Monarch Lodges is no longer defined by thread count or fine dining, though both are thoughtfully woven into every stay. Instead, luxury is redefined as space to breathe, silence that soothes, and a landscape that holds you. It’s the kind of care that runs deeper than service. This is care that considers community, conservation, and the emotional weight our guests carry.
A Movement Toward Meaningful Travel
Our Retreats In The Wild respond to a global shift: travellers are no longer just looking to see the world, they want to feel it, to change with it, to leave lighter and more connected than when they arrived. These aren’t itineraries but invitations to listen and restore with a replenishing African getaway.
Each wellness retreat is designed with intention, rooted in the rhythms of the Zambezi Region and supported by the gentle pulse of the wilderness to give you a rejuvenating experience. Here, nature is not a backdrop. It is a teacher, a healer, and a facilitator in the journey back to self.

Rest & Reconnect: The Art of Mindfulness
Imagine mornings that begin with quiet breathwork beside the river, and days shaped by guided bush walks and intentional stillness. The Art of Mindfulness Retreat is a grounding experience that invites participants to settle into the moment. Presence isn’t a practice, it’s a way of being.
Led by Retreat Facilitator Hella Göbel, this five-night package will cultivate a restorative yoga and meditation practice based on Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program. This mindfulness retreat is specially curated to help you reconnect with your own body and manage daily stressors with mental wellness and newfound ease.
Creative Flow: Writing & Yoga to Uncover Your Story
Creativity often waits patiently behind the noise of daily life. The Writing and Yoga Retreat clears space for it to emerge, combining embodied movement with expressive writing. Gentle yoga sessions open the body, while journaling prompts open the mind. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or simply curious, this retreat is about unlocking what’s already within.
Your Retreat Facilitator, Annemarie Luck, will gently guide you through five days of early morning Kundalini Yoga, daily workshops to help you find and refine your story, and structured writing sessions leading to the first 10 0000 words of your masterpiece, all while finding relaxation in nature.
Wild Woman: Reclaim Your Inner Radiance
For the woman who wants to feel at home in her body, craves deep nourishment and sisterhood – this retreat is for you.
