A wellness safari in Zambia & Botswana

Wellness looks different for everyone; whether your safari retreat involves indulging in nourishing spa treatments, invigorating exercise, a mindful yoga session for emotional wellbeing or quiet contemplation in nature, these camps in Zambia and Botswana provide the luxury to nourish mind, body and soul. 

The tranquility of the swiftly flowing Zambezi could lull you to a standstill. But you don’t have to give up the views to get your heart-pumping at Toka Leya. The air-conditioned gym, fitted with modern equipment overlooks the legendary river. Its energetic flow sets the scene for invigorating exercise sessions; as good for the body as they are for the mind.

Rest is equally important; Toka Leya’s infinity pool is the ideal place to while away the hours between game drives, and take in nature’s soothing, stress-sapping effects. 

Nurture your physical health and mental wellbeing at DumaTau’s gym and spa, Osprey Retreat. It’s a destination on its own with a lap pool and sun loungers that invite laidback immersion in the natural surrounds. Get your heart pumping in the fitness centre, slow it down in the spa or nourish your body with freshly pressed juices and healthy, locally sourced meals. 

After a thrilling, heart-racing morning on safari, seek out the serenity of the spa. Tucked away in amongst a shady grove of trees, Jao’s spa inspires utter restoration. Choose a treatment from the extensive therapy menu, work up a sweat in the next-door gym or disconnect and relax with a book poolside.
