Itinerary

Day by day.

Your days at Khami Sanctuary unfold in quiet rhythm—anchored by daily yoga sessions, slow nature walks, and moments of stillness under open skies. No rushing, no distractions—just the space to reconnect with your body, your breath, and the presence of wildlife gently moving through the bush around you.

Day 1

Arrival & Exhale

Arrive in Bulawayo and transfer to Khami Sanctuary, where the quiet of the bush welcomes you. Settle into the lodge and take in the views. As the sun sets, join a gentle grounding yoga session to release the journey and arrive fully. Dinner is shared under the stars.

Day 2

Grounding in Nature

Day 3

Breath and Body

Enjoy an early morning slow flow focused on breath and mindful movement. After brunch, relax in the shade with a book or enjoy the sun by the pool. Later, gather for an afternoon yoga nidra session—a guided rest that restores body and mind. End the day with herbal tea and talk around the fire.

Day 4

Silent Retreat Day

Experience a day of gentle silence. Begin with a walking meditation and morning yoga in stillness. The day is yours for inward reflection—read, rest, journal, or simply sit with the sounds of nature. In the evening, a restorative practice deepens your sense of quiet presence and clarity.

Integration & Gratitude
