About
Welcome to Namaste Yoga Safari – A Journey of Adventure, Connection, and Mindfulness
I’m Marcel, the heart and soul behind Namaste Yoga Safari. Since 2016, I’ve been crafting unforgettable yoga holidays in some of Africa’s most breathtaking safari destinations. This isn’t just a business - it’s my passion, my journey, and my way of sharing the magic of Africa with you.
A yoga safari is more than just a trip - it’s an experience that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and immerse yourself in the wild. Imagine sitting quietly with mountain gorillas in the lush forests of Uganda, walking alongside chimpanzees, climbing the towering dunes of Namibia, or watching elephants wander past your safari vehicle. These moments, infused with mindfulness and presence, create a connection that lingers long after the journey ends.
How It All Began
My love for yoga started while sailing and scuba diving across the world. After 15 years of traveling, all roads led me back to Namibia - where I lived since the age of 6, to embark on a new adventure: blending my love for nature, movement, and mindful travel. Having worked as a travel consultant, guiding people through Namibia and Southern Africa, I knew I could create something truly special - yoga safaris that offer not just breathtaking landscapes, but deep personal connection and transformation.
Even though my roots are in Ashtanga, my years in nature have shaped my teaching into a more mindful, calming practice - one that blends beautifully with the rhythm of the wilderness. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yogi, my yoga holidays are designed to be welcoming, supportive, and full of adventure. With small groups of 2 - 7 guests (or up to 12 for yoga teachers bringing their own students), every trip is personal, intimate, and tailored to create an unforgettable experience.
Yoga Styles on my holidays
Yin, Slow flows, Dynamic Vinyasa flows, Hatha, Yoga Nidra, Manifestation techniques, Various Guided Meditations & Breathing techniques.
Find the Right Safari for You
Some of my guests have never practiced yoga before, while others are seasoned teachers - many return for their second, third, or even fourth trip! If you're unsure which yoga safari is right for you, I’d love to help. Let’s chat - I’m happy to answer any questions or help you choose the perfect journey.
Looking forward to welcoming you on an adventure of a lifetime!
