WILDERNESS RETREATS
Our Approach
We craft transformative experiences, that draw wisdom from a more ancient way of being, in prime wilderness locations, to empower you for life.
These are exclusive, next-level experiences, designed for those who appreciate an inner as well as outer journey, who enjoy the freedom that comes with periods of silence and who can recognise beauty in both the small and large creations of nature.
01
Wellness Retreats
We invite you to take precious time out from your busy life to deep dive into an awe-inspiring immersion of pristine wilderness and find your rightful place in it. Ease is restored through the rhythm of walking, yoga is infused with the presence of elephants, meditations are inspired by a fever tree forest and joy is regained around the fire with friends. We tee nature up and let it do the rest.
What we focus on:
Prime wilderness locations
Walking so that guests can establish themselves as participants in nature and not mere observers
Explorations of human history and how we belong to that landscape
Conscious movement to awaken the senses so we can engage with the wilderness and re-awaken parts of the modern human that have gone dormant
Invitations to silence
Meditations
Vision questing guidance
Group sharing wisdom gleaned from the wild

Founder, Private Guide and Safari Planner
Being born the daughter of David Attenborough (it’s true but he’s probably not the one you’re thinking of) I don’t believe I ever really had much choice about what direction my life would take. I grew up in the city of Durban, South Africa but for as long as I can remember nature has called to me. Whenever I could I would escape to the forests around my home barefoot and in search of chameleons and red duiker to befriend.
And so in 2010, after completing my Journalism and Media Studies degree, I followed that calling to the wilds of Southern Africa to become a game ranger. I planned to stay for a year but it turned into ten. During that time, I worked at Phinda Private Game Reserve, Ngala Private Game Reserve and Londolozi Game Reserve, some of South Africa’s most prestigious lodges and immersed myself in the natural world. I learnt to track animals with Zulu and Shangaan trackers and spent as much time as I could on foot approaching animals with my guests. I also put my photojournalism degree to use by becoming a specialist photographic guide. I travelled to Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Uganda, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, India and throughout South America in search of wildlife. My greatest adventure was living in Gabon training local guides for the WWF and Smithsonian Institute, where we spent weeks at a time living like early nomads in the dense and remote coastal forests, fulfilling a life-long dream of tracking and habituating wild gorillas. Seeing how embodied and present animals are inspired me to begin practicing yoga. I am a qualified vinyasa and yin teacher and spent six months training under a Hatha master in Boulder, Colorado. I am also a certified Martha Beck life coach. With this mixture of knowledge, interests and skills, I started Wild Again to help others really experience the wild places I know and love so much. Through my specialised Wellness Safaris that incorporate yoga, meditation, mindfulness and personalised life coaching I continue to grow more conscious safaris that return people to nature and to themselves. As we re-wild ourselves we hear the earth, our common mother, again. It is only then that we can co-create with her healing.
