Private Yoga Safaris
Create Your Perfect Yoga Safari
While I offer scheduled yoga holidays throughout the year, I understand that set dates don’t always work for everyone. That’s why I specialize in creating customized private yoga safaris tailored to your unique needs—whether you're traveling with friends, family, or looking for a more intimate retreat experience.
Friends & Families - A Private Safari with a Wellness Twist
“I spent 8 days on a private yoga tour with Marcel. And what an amazing introduction to Nambia! The trip from beginning to end was well planned and curated, with a tailored yoga programme to suit my ability and needs. 8 days was a perfect amount of time and we stayed in 3 very different but equally amazing lodges. We went on game drives most mornings and a particular highlight was leopard tracking. I can’t recommend Namaste Yoga Safari highly enough. And Marcel was an absolute star from start to finish, no question or query too small and excellent accommodation recommendations so I could extend my stay for a couple of days longer.” - Catherine, U.K

For Yoga Teachers – Host a Retreat in Africa
Are you a yoga teacher looking to take your students on a transformative retreat in Africa? I specialize in organizing seamless, stress-free retreats for instructors who want to teach in stunning natural settings but don’t want to deal with the logistics.
I will handle everything for you—including planning, marketing, registrations, travel arrangements, communication, and on-the-ground logistics—so you can focus on teaching and enjoying the experience alongside your group. All you need to do is gather your students and let me take care of the rest!
If you’re interested, reach out via email or let’s set up a call to discuss your vision. We’ll go over your preferences, answer any questions, and reserve the perfect dates. For larger groups, I recommend booking 6 months to a year in advance to secure the best accommodations and experiences.
“Our experience with Namaste Yoga Safari, Marcel, and her guides (Jamie, Buzzy, and others at the lodges) was nothing short of AMAZING! We partnered with Marcel to offer our group of 12 crazy Americans a Yoga Retreat Vacation of a lifetime. We started with a tour of Cape Town and the stunning Cape Point, and then flew to Windhoek for the 10-day Namibia Highlights tour, witnessing all of the beautiful people, terrain, and wild animals of Namibia. Most of our group added on a 4-day trip to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and Botswana, which Marcel graciously coordinated for us. We highly recommend this incredible experience of taking in the majestic Falls and seeing all of the water wildlife. Marcel went above and beyond in every way before and during our entire adventure to make sure everything was coordinated and set. She blessed each of us with her beautiful presence (and her welcome gift bag is so thoughtful and generous)! We love and appreciate you, Marcel! Our only regret is not staying longer at some of the glorious lodges. We loved our time in Southern Africa and have forever memories deep within our hearts”. Heather & Hanan - Yoga teachers from the USA
