Tanzania Safari Retreat

Eco-minded travelers will relish Kantabile Afrika’s well-located Aurari Camp as a base to explore one of the world’s most pristine wildlife sanctuaries in the world, the Serengeti. Kantabile Afrika’s elegant tented accommodation in northern Tanzania along the Kenyan border will help you lose all sense of time and place, while placing you in a prime area to spot elephants, zebras, lions, giraffes, and wildebeests. 

This magical retreat will include campfire retrospection, breathtaking sunrises, meditative sundowns, and open air lunch in the bush. The exhilarating itinerary includes a wonderful chance to meet with women from the Maasai tribe, a famous semi-nomadic tribe in East Africa, hosted by Gibb’s Farm. Guests will visit a working coffee plantation and a sustainable farm located on the fringe of Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The retreat will be held November 8-15, 2023.

Your host and facilitators’ formalized practices give way to unscripted time. Participants and facilitators mingle to better understand the needs of one and all. Collective participation and engagement shape the program’s direction as facilitators employ a flexible style. This delivery mode enables the facilitators to adapt to the group’s needs, fulfilling what is in the participants’ hearts and minds. With the support and guidance of skilled facilitators and the retreat host, participants can achieve transformation, in a supportive and safe environment.
