If stretching out in front of phenomenal views is the kind of holiday you fancy, these bespoke yoga and fitness safaris might just be the walk on the wild side that you’re looking for.
Walking along Joy's Camp
One of Kenya’s most established and popular safari operators, Cheli & Peacock, has unveiled their latest adventure on the African continent – bespoke yoga and fitness safaris. Tailor-made to suit the needs of every yogi or exercise fanatic, they offer several different itineraries at their seven properties across the country.
Location
Trekking along Kitich Camp
The locations include: Amboseli’s Tortilis Camp at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, Cottar’s 1920s Safari Camp and Elephant Pepper Camp in Masai Mara, Laikipia’s Lewa Safari Camp, as well as the more far-flung Northern bases of Elsa’s Kopje, Joy’s Camp and Kitich Camp. All are part of Cheli & Peacock's portfolio, with each location boasting their own unique quirks and breathtaking scenery.
Experience
Yoga amongst nature
Each boutique property offers the authentic African experience with sophisticated interiors set against a backdrop of flora, fauna, and wildlife. Cheli & Peacock will arrange for a private yoga teacher for the duration of the trip, as well as craft an itinerary suited to your travelling style – be it a relaxing hour of yoga each day or a more rigiorous week-long yoga retreat. Other more extreme sports are also available and include quad bike and buggy rides, horse and camel safaris, learning trekking techniques with the local guides, as well as a chance for the kids to prove their worth at the Maasai Warrior School.
Dining
When the stomach is growling, Cheli & Peacock will provide homemade Italian cuisine cooked by their expert chefs – with ingredients grown in their very own vegetable gardens whenever possible. For those who are wholly dedicated to their fitness regime, a detox menu is also available and various dietary requirements can be catered to.
Relaxation
A private massage
A whole host of activities meant for relaxation are also offered, such as massage treatments, manicures and pedicures. These can be done in beauty rooms, or if you prefer more privacy, in your own cottage or tent.
