This retreat is a journey - from self-doubt to self-trust. In the wild of the Greater Kruger National Park, you’ll slow down enough to finally hear yourself again. You’ll uncover the beliefs that keep you small, learn how to shift them gently, and remember that the woman you’re becoming isn’t a fantasy or a dream — she’s already within you. This isn’t about getting away from your life. It’s about seeing it with new eyes - and learning to believe in yourself again.

Our Reviews

So much thought and care has gone into making Sashwa what it is. We felt nourished, nurtured and inspired. The vegan food was absolutely delicious. Practicing yoga right on the banks of the Olifants River was a dream come true. The peace and quiet within the camp was an absolute privilege. I highly recommend this special African experience.

Chloe H

If you want to escape to gentle serenity and luxury comforts, Sashwa River of Stars ticks all the boxes. Genuinely friendly staff, excellent service, delicious plant based meals, fascinating bush walks and game drives, and excellent yoga and meditation options. Top of my list for a soul safari. I’d recommend it without hesitation.
