The first part of the Retreat takes place in a small beautiful beach front hotel in Zanzibar, Tanzania, Africa. The place has an aura of tranquillity and a feeling of spaciousness with its lush tropical garden lined with Coconut palms, Frangipani and Banana trees. Short steps at the front lead to the beach and to the turquoise blue sea of the Indian Ocean.

Sun Salute Africa is located in Zanzibar on the northern tip of the island, which boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The 2 yoga spaces face west overlooking the ocean for perfect sightings of the setting sun while you practice.

Our next destination then takes us on a small flight from beach to bush, to Kilimanjaro, where we will make our way for 1 night’s stay in a beautiful Lodge nestled at the foothills of Kilimanjaro, just a few minutes away from Machame Gate entrance to Kilimanjaro National Park. It has a restaurant and bar, everyone can enjoy magnificent views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Then we begin our 3 nights 4 days Safari to see the big 5. After the safari we will spend one more night at the same lodge.
