Sole Dream Holidays is overjoyed for our new & exciting retreat, Wellness & Wildlife, Nov 8-16, 2025 in one of our most cherished places—Namibia. Our previous retreats have been focused on seeing 5 different locations, which left little time for wellness. And while we still love that longer & more adventurous retreat, we decided to create a shorter and more traditional yoga option, Wellness & Wildlfe. This promises to be an unforgettable journey through two of Namibia’s jaw-dropping locations, Damaraland and Etosha National Park. Get ready to practice yoga and meditation with stunning landscapes, from vast deserts to vibrant nature reserves as our backdrops!
This private, exclusive safari is curated for a truly personal experience, led by professional and experienced safari guides who will deepen our connection with Namibia’s unique wildlife and dramatic scenery.
Imagine evening meditation under golden Namibian sunsets, tracking desert-adapted elephants and visiting the magnificent Himba Tribe.
With our knowledgeable team, every moment of discovery will be stress-free, rewarding, and filled with unforgettable memories.

Secure your spot in this life-changing journey and let Namibia’s wonders captivate you mind, body and spirit. We can’t wait to share this experience with you!

DESTINATIONS & ACTIVITY HIGHLIGHTS

GREATER WINDHOEK: Windhoek, translated from the Afrikaans language to “Wind Corner,” is Namibia’s capital and largest city. Hosea Kutako International and Eros Airports service the city and, together with Namibia’s excellent road network, provide easy access to most of the country, although distances can be vast. Positioned centrally, Windhoek links important coastal towns to the country's hub and is connected by well maintained national roads to South Africa and Botswana. We will be here our first and last evenings as it close to the international airport.

DAMARALAND: This vast desert landscape is known as one of the most beautiful regions in Namibia. We will take in the dramatic vistas, catch a glimpse of the rare desert-adapted elephant, and enjoy spectacular stargazing in crystal-clear night skies. Our guides will take us on a scenic drive via ephemeral river systems in search of desert-adapted elephants. The wildlife roams large tracks of unfenced desert landscapes and we will be guided through this untouched gem of Namibia. A highlight includes the opportunity to go on a totally exclusive excursion to track for the elusive black rhino that inhabit this area.

ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK: Etosha is a national park in northwestern Namibia and one of the largest national parks in Africa. Abundant wildlife includes lion, leopard, elephant, cheetah, giraffe, gemsbok, springbok, red hartebeest, eland, wildebeest, zebra, the rare black faced impala, and hundreds of other species. Our luxury lodge has become a model of safe and responsible ecotourism. We will experience exciting guided game drives from the vantage point of specially modified, air conditioned 4x4s with pop top roofs.
