Book your flight to Victoria Falls Airport (VFA) in Zimbabwe or Kasane Airport (BBK) in Botswana. Most guests connect through Johannesburg (JNB) before flying on to Victoria Falls or Kasane.

From Victoria Falls Airport, the journey to the lodge is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours by road, including a relaxed border crossing into Botswana. From Kasane Airport, transfer time is shorter, usually around 30 to 45 minutes depending on road and river conditions.

Once your flights are confirmed, share your arrival and departure details with us and we will help coordinate transfers with our trusted local partners so your journey feels smooth and supported.

If you arrive earlier or stay in the area before or after the retreat, we can also recommend nearby accommodations and assist with guidance for local taxis or private shuttles.

This sanctuary is a space designed to reconnect you with the wild while still offering comfort, safety, and quiet. Created as an eco conscious safari retreat, each tent and gathering area has its own atmosphere, shaped by acacia shade, open sky, and the sound of the bush.

Here, the African plains hold you. Wide horizons stretch out from the pool, decks, fire circle, and open air yoga shala, with elephants, antelope, and birdlife often in view. Silence has texture out here, broken only by wind i
