No Words To Describe This…….

“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart”

I’m literally buzzing with excitement!

Next June I will be co-hosting another Namibia Fitness safari retreat.

This really is like no other fitness retreat in the world!

Ever since I first visited Okonjima lodge in November 2013 I couldn’t wait to get back there.

This is where I Met Danny Groves who residing in Namibia and Okonjima at the time before returning this year back to the U.K

He’s very familiar with the lodge and was actually the inspiration behind the concept of hosting Fitness retreats on Okonjima.

There is something very magical about Okonjima and it hits you immediately as you are welcomed through the front gates. You are entertained by the landscapes and lucky enough to spot various animals such as Giraffe and Oryx and antelope on the way to our 5* accommodation.

Staff greet you with a genuine smile and you suddenly breathe a sigh of relaxation as you enjoy a welcome sundowner drink.

I actually don’t want to give too much away as I got so much pleasure introducing my lasts guest to the lodge in November 2014 co-hosting with Danny.

So many wow factors along side this unique setting for fitness and wellness to fully engage the body and mind ready to soak in all this land a wildlife has to offer!

But I do want you know what you’d expect if you decided to attend this once in a life time retreat. So here goes.

** 8 days on Okonjima Nature reserve (one of southern Africa’s highest regarded private reserve’s)

** As much fitness training you want but no less than once or twice a day. This consists of sessions at the outdoor Bush Gym, training in a way that is designed and catered to your ability, Cycling and trail running .

** 4 activities trails but options for more. Tracking leopard, cheetah, hyena, wild dog. Plus other trails learning how the traditional Bush survive and a visit to the world renowned AfriCat foundation.

**Massages basically on tap given by Danny Whom has been massaging for 10 years.

** 4 nights at the luxury Bush Camp and 4 nights at the exclusive Grand African Villa.

These are both 5* venues of accommodation with Animals at your door step !

**Delicious food will be tailored to your stay with Meats being as organic and free range as one can get!

Pictures really cant do this place justice but it’s the best I can give to portray what an awesome retreat this really is .

Testimonials

My Wife and I tagged our Namibia trip onto the back of two weeks of luxury touring in nearby South Africa before travelling on to Namibia not really knowing what awaited us.

Wow, what a change in fortunes met me at the game reserve. A wonderful greeting by the owners at our lodge which exuded luxury in unbelievable surroundings and already African wildlife on our doorstep. Then followed a ‘healthy meal’ which was perfectly cooked for us by our own dedicated chef and served by the most friendly of staff (who looked after us the whole time of our stay). After dinner came the explanation of the format for our stay illustrated by our guide and host Danny.

After a little restless night’s sleep worrying about the next day it was time to get up and assemble at 6.00am for our ‘greeny’ cocktail and off for the first of the day’s activities comprising a variety of training exercises in different locations, seeing the best of African wildlife at close quarters and some wonderful food followed throughout the day.

To carry on with the story would spoil the excitement of what can be experienced by all who take the plunge and commit to the trip. Except I have to say that for all my doubts (might be an age thing) I would not have missed a moment of it (all of which went far too quickly) and I cannot recommend the event too highly. It has to be regarded as truly one of your ‘life time experiences’ and you should go for it if you can’.
