KASANE, BOTSWANA, June 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Munga Plains, a new retreat center offering a unique fusion of yoga and safari experiences in the heart of the African wilderness, has opened its doors with a soft launch in May 2024. Nestled within the vast expanse of Chobe National Park, Botswana, it’s the ideal location to disconnect from daily distractions and reconnect with like-minded individuals, vibrant local cultures, and rich nature and wildlife.

Last month, Munga Plains invited a select group of yoga teachers, photographers, and content creators from around the world, all accustomed to the finest retreats and most awe-inspiring locations, to test out the experience. Starting in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, the retreat took these ten guests through Chobe National Park and culminated in five days at Munga Plains’ comfortable glamping site with rejuvenating yoga sessions and a variety of thrilling safari and cultural activities. The dedicated Shala set amidst the open plains became a sanctuary of tranquility and inspiration. Read more about the soft launch retreat and reviews from the first guests.

“If you're looking for a captivating and enchanting experience that combines the tranquility of yoga with the excitement of a safari adventure, this retreat is for you. I can't wait to return and soak in the magic of Munga Plains all over again!”
Lisa Tonelli-Smith, Iyengar teacher, Australia

“Genuinely one of the best experiences of my life. I can't fully put into words how beautiful this trip was - the space, the staff, the country, the people, the wildlife, the classes, and to see how much of an amazing impact this place has on the local community.”
Katrina Crossley, Vinyasa teacher, UK
