7-Day Wellness Escape: Yoga, Farm-to-Table Dining & Safari in Kenya

Reconnect, Rest & Rewild is a 7-day yoga retreat that balances structured practice with spacious free time. Each day includes two yoga sessions: a morning flow to energize and an evening restorative practice to unwind. The sample schedule shows sunrise meditation at 6:30, followed by a yoga class with fresh juice and fruit, a hearty brunch at 10, and then hours of unstructured time until an afternoon stretch session. Dinners are 3-course affairs under candlelight, often followed by fireside gatherings or special activities like a Full Moon Cacao Ceremony or an African music experience.

What sets this retreat apart is its commitment to cultural respect and community. It's not just about personal transformation; it's about experiencing Kenya authentically. Included excursions take you to Nanyuki town to explore markets and literally jump the equator, as well as a guided forest walk to the Mau Mau Caves, where you can take a refreshing dip in a waterfall. These are unhurried, sensory experiences that complement your inner journey.

Accommodations at Kilima Gardens are boutique and eco-conscious, with handcrafted Kenyan details and views of either the garden or Mount Kenya. Some rooms even have outdoor showers. You'll have access to a Nordic sauna, cold plunge, infinity pool, and a treetop deck for yoga and stargazing. The property is exclusively yours during the retreat, so you can truly relax without outside distractions. Daily housekeeping and laundry service are included, making your stay effortless.

Alice, your host, brings a unique perspective as both an NHS doctor and a yoga teacher with 9 years of practice. Her trauma-informed approach ensures a safe space for all. She specializes in Hatha, Vinyasa, and Restorative yoga, and incorporates Reiki sessions into the week. Her love for Kenya, where she spent her childhood, shines through in the thoughtful details and connections she shares with guests.
