Tucked inside a private conservancy, these charming cottages offer a true sense of serenity. Simple yet elegant, they invite slow mornings with tea on the veranda, and restful nights under starlit skies. Expect warm hospitality, thoughtful comforts, and nature at your doorstep.

Our Nairobi Night - Our first evening in Nairobi allows us to ease into the journey. We’ll stay in a calm and cozy guesthouse or boutique hotel (TBA), share a welcome dinner, and gently settle into the rhythm of the retreat before heading north.

At Ol Pejeta Cottages, meals are a beautiful part of the retreat experience—fresh, wholesome, and made with love. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared using locally sourced ingredients, offering a fusion of international wellness cuisine and flavors inspired by the land.

Mornings begin with nourishing breakfasts—think tropical fruits, homemade granola, eggs to order, herbal teas, and fresh juices to energize your day. Lunches and dinners are vibrant and colorful, served al fresco or in the cozy dining space, with dishes that may include roasted vegetables, spiced lentil stews, grilled fish, and fresh salads dressed in zesty citrus.

Throughout the retreat, you’ll also get a gentle taste of Kenyan favorites—perhaps a comforting bowl of irio (a mashed blend of peas, potatoes, and greens), a side of sukuma wiki (braised collard greens), or chapati flatbreads warm from the griddle. Expect warming spices, plenty of flavor, and options to suit every dietary need.

Each meal is a moment to pause, connect, and savor—fueling your days of yoga, exploration, and rest.

At Ol Pejeta, our yoga practice becomes something truly special—rooted in nature, surrounded by wildlife, and held by the rhythms of the land. Each day, we gather on the open-air yoga deck, a wooden platform nestled among trees with sweeping views of the savannah. You might hear the distant call of birds, feel a breeze drift across your skin, or even catch a glimpse of zebras grazing nearby.

Morning sessions are energizing and expansive, designed to awaken the body and center the mind—moving with the sunrise, the earth beneath you, and the sky above. Evening practices are slow and grounding, with gentle movement, breathwork, and stillness as the sun melts into the horizon.

Our sessions are open to all levels, blending vinyasa flow, hatha inspired, slow flows, yin, guided meditations, and moments of quiet reflection. Whether you're an experienced practitioner or just beginning your journey, this is a space to reconnect—with your breath, your body, and the wild within.

Come as you are. The land will meet you exactly where you need to be
