Botswana Safari Retreat with Cally Albrecht
June 5–11, 2027
The safari that's been on your bucket list for years. This is the one.
You've talked about Africa for years. The safari that always felt too big, too far, too hard to organise on your own.
In June 2027, that changes.
A small group of just 12 women head deep into wild Botswana for a once-in-a-lifetime safari adventure through Chobe National Park, one of Africa's most extraordinary wildlife regions.
Elephants crossing quietly in front of your vehicle. Lions resting in the long grass. Sunsets on the Chobe River. Firelit dinners under a sky full of stars. The kind of trip that stays with you long after you fly home.
And the best part? You don't plan a thing.
Every flight connection, transfer, meal and game drive is handled, so you simply arrive, exhale, and experience Africa in a way that feels safe, intimate and completely looked after.
This isn't a wellness retreat with a bit of safari added on. It's a real African safari, softened beautifully with movement, breathwork, connection and rest.
Wild on the outside. Held every step of the way.
Expect to experience:
This is a curated, intimate African adventure designed for women craving something deeper than a normal holiday.
Adventure. Connection. Rest. Perspective.
And the feeling of finally doing something you’ve dreamed about for years.
Over 7 unforgettable days, you'll experience
Daily safari game drives through Chobe National Park
Sunset river safaris along the Chobe River
Wildlife encounters with elephants, lions, giraffes, buffalo and hippos
Luxury safari-style glamping tents, ensuite, with private verandas
Firelit dinners under African stars
Cultural experiences with the local Basubiya community
Optional yoga, movement and breathwork with Cally Albrecht
Time to swim, rest, read and take it all in
A small group of just 12 like-minded women
Why Botswana?
Because it still feels wild.
Botswana is one of Africa’s most untouched and wildlife-rich countries, known for extraordinary safari experiences without the crowds.
This is where nature still leads.
Days begin before sunrise as the bush slowly wakes around you.
Elephants gather at the riverbanks.
Giraffes move across the horizon.
Hippos surface beside the boat at sunset.
And somewhere between the vast skies, the silence, the wildlife and the rhythm of life here… something shifts.
Africa has a way of reminding people what matters.
Example Day in Botswana:
6:30 Coffee or tea as the bush slowly wakes around you
7:00 Optional movement, stretching and breathwork with Cally in the open-air shala
8:00 Breakfast overlooking the savannah
9:30 Guided experience connected to the local landscape and community
11:30 Time to swim, rest, read or take in the stillness of being off-grid
13:00 Lunch shared together at camp
15:00 Afternoon game drive, walking safari or sunset river safari on the Chobe
19:00 Dinner under the stars
20:30 Storytelling, deep conversations, stargazing or traditional dance around the fire
All activities are optional, so you’re free to do as much or as little as you like. There is always space to slow down, take a breath and experience Africa in your own way.

What to expect
This week-long Botswana safari takes you deep into the wild, blending game drives, culture and moments of stillness in one of Africa's most extraordinary landscapes.
Each day begins slowly, with optional movement and breathwork led by Cally Albrecht, a way to ground yourself before heading out into the wild, never the focus of the experience.
You'll stay in comfortable, solar-powered glamping tents with ensuite bathrooms and private verandas over the savannah, where wildlife passes through and the landscape becomes part of your everyday rhythm.
Meals are crafted by Ednah Rosen, author of A Taste of Botswana, from fresh, seasonal ingredients grown on-site. Expect nourishing, generous meals that bring everyone together after a day of exploration.
Between game drives and river safaris, there's space to slow down. Afternoons by the pool, quiet moments in nature, or simply time to take it all in.
And when you want time to yourself, that space is always there.

Straddling the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, it is the largest waterfall in the world based on combined width and height, creating a stunning and awe-inspiring spectacle.
Victoria Falls holds significant cultural importance for the local communities. It has been a place of reverence and spiritual importance for centuries. The falls are steeped in legend and lore, with local tribes having numerous stories about the origins and powers of the falls.
