From the Zambezi to Munga Plains: A Wellbeing and Safari Retreat in Zimbabwe and Botswana
From the Zambezi to Munga Plains: A Wellbeing & Safari Retreat in the Heart of Africa
"Group photo at Victoria Fall's with rainbows and smiles on Together we Breathe's Wellbeing and Safari Retreat."
I’m writing this from Munga Plains in Botswana, tucked away in the wild beauty of the African bush. This is the final stop on our Together we Breathe Wellbeing & Safari Retreat, and I’m still soaking in every moment.
This journey has taken us from Victoria Falls to Chobe National Park, and now here, to this peaceful eco-lodge where we’re spending our final days moving slowly, sharing meals under the stars, and connecting deeply with ourselves, each other, and the natural world.
Victoria Falls: Rainbows, Markets & River Magic
We began with two nights in Victoria Falls, exploring the iconic landmark known as “The Smoke That Thunders.” We were lucky enough to witness double rainbows, some of the brightest I’ve ever seen and I’m so curious to return in April 2026, when the Falls will be in full flow after the rainy season.
I also joined my first e-bike tour on a Bamba bike, cycling through the town, exploring local markets, and enjoying lunch along the Zambezi River a perfect way to ease into the pace of life here.
A Taste of Zimbabwe: Dusty Road Dining
Our evening at Dusty Road was a vibrant open-air celebration of local flavours and culture. This set-menu experience meant we tasted everything from aromatic curries to fresh grains and vibrant vegetables, and indulgent desserts.
The team supports the local children’s school, and we were treated to beautiful traditional singing at dinner. Their cookbook and craft store are well worth a visit if you’re in Victoria Falls.
Sunrise Yoga on the Zambezi River
One of the most magical moments: sunrise yoga on a boat, arranged with the help of Victoria Falls Yoga, our wellbeing facilitator in Zimbabwe. As the boat drifted gently along the river, the dawn sky turned pink and gold, and the enormous sun rose above the horizon while we moved, breathed, and found stillness together. Absolutely unforgettable, a true moment of awe! And there were ample elephants, hippos and other amazing animals along the way!
This journey has gifted us countless sunrises, sunsets, and even a lunar eclipse, nothing like I’ve ever experienced before. The sun has been a glorious, radiant pink unlike anything I’ve ever seen.
From Safari to Stillness: The Essence of This Retreat
This retreat is far more than a vacation it’s an immersive wellbeing and safari journey through Southern Africa, weaving adventure, restoration, and connection into a singular, soulful experience. More to come and the rest of Together we Breathe’s trip to Africa in my next blog.
Retreat Highlights:
Exploring Victoria Falls and sunrise yoga on the Zambezi River, with wild animals along the banks
Biking, market strolls, and riverside lunches with Bamba Bikes
1-night camping safari in Chobe National Park (more in my next post)
A grounding stay at Munga Plains eco-lodge (more to come in my upcoming posts)

A Week of Creativity, Connection, Wellbeing & Joy: with Kerry from Together we Breathe - African Retreats & Events in the UK
Welcome to my updates from Together we Breathe. From Transformational Breathwork and Yoga in South East London, to planning life-changing yoga retreats in Africa, and connecting with incredible creatives and artists, it’s been a full and fulfilling few days.
Breathwork in Nunhead at Mica
I have loved covering Tuesday night’s Breathwork sessions at Mica in Nunhead. The focus is deep relaxation, breath
awareness, and space to slow down. We start with gentle mindful movement, then transition into breathwork and
a full-body relaxation, set to beautiful music. It’s an invitation to disconnect, listen inward, and feel into your body a rare but powerful reset. Hope to be back again soon!
Theatre & Art: Wiggy at Theatre Peckham + Alexis Chabala
Last week I saw Wiggy at Theatre Peckham with a young, bold cast challenging race and gender/relationship norms. It’s worth checking out what coming up at Theatre Packham, it’s affordable and a great venue for an evening with friends. I also want to spotlight Alexis Chabala, a photographer friend whose latest show opens this weekend on the Isle of Wight, featuring stunning portraits of Black creatives, absolutely worth the visit. Details on the exhibition at Quay Arts Gallery.
Creative Influence: Music & Shaman’s Breath
I met a brilliant musician (from the band IKE) who introduced me to the album Shaman's Breath, tribal, rhythmic,
perfect for breathwork and deep relaxation. I’ll be weaving this into future sessions. His music is well worth a listen, check out there new album, SIDDA.

Wellbeing Updates: Breathwork, Community and Africa Retreats
Updates from Together we Breathe: Breath, Nature & Growth - African Retreats & Events in the UK
Welcome to this month’s updates from Together we Breathe a space where I share my personal stories, updates, inspirations and things I love and have discovered from my work, travels, experiences in yoga, breathwork, wellbeing and life!
As June begins, I’m reflecting on a beautiful mix of movement, nature, community, and exciting new beginnings. From wild foraging in Hackney Marshes to planning breathwork retreats in Africa, May was full of grounding moments,
big dreams, and heartfelt reflections.
Foraging in Hackney Marshes and the Hackney Half Marathon
Foraging in Hackney Marshes with Herbivore & Fergus the Forager
Earlier last month, I spent a weekend in Hackney that included a fantastic foraging workshop in the marshes with Herbivore. Led by Fergus the Forager, it was an incredible day learning about wild plants and edible foods that grow in our urban
green spaces. I’m pretty sure I could sort of survive for 24 hours in a London park now! The day ended with delicious
foraged toppings for our pizzas, it was so good.
That same weekend, I watched friends run the Hackney Half Marathon. The atmosphere was beautiful, music, energy, collective spirit and genuine encouragement for everyone who took part. It brought back memories of watching the London Marathon and Olympics with my Dad. They always gave me goosebumps (and made him cry, he was such an emotional soul).
Totally inspired, I came home and impulsively signed up to run it next year. What was I thinking?! I’ll definitely be
running with my Dad in my heart the whole way.
Garden Days & A New Home
Edible Flowers on my favourite Hummingbird Bakery Red Velvet Cake
The rest of May was all about making the most of the sunshine, working from the garden, enjoying fresh air,
and creative time outdoors.
I’ll finally be moving into my new house next month! Trying to find time to pick wall colours (thinking lots of neutrals, as
well as pinks and greens), floors and a sofa. Excited, but also totally overwhelmed by how much there is to do and
where I'm going to put everything, time for an enormous sort out!
Also: I baked a pretty great birthday cake (with a little help!) for a friend’s party, it was such a fun night.
