Retreats in South Africa

South Africa is an enormous country and its countryside is majestic; the perfect canvas for an inspirational retreat. Book a writing retreat in the charming, well-preserved mid 19th century village of Temenos, McGregor, on the Western Cape, or stay in the heart of Cape Town itself. Either way, you’ll be supported by a literary agent and writing coach as you work on plot, pace, character and developing your voice. Or choose the Elevation Barn retreat on Simonsberg Mountain, designed to help you break through personal barriers, clarify your ambitions, and tap into your inner strength. Led by Gavin Douglas, guests engage in bespoke workshops, nature walks, yoga, and meditation, fostering personal growth and mindfulness. Or join a yoga retreat with Vicky Fox, starting in culturally rich Gauteng with yoga twice daily in an artist’s barn, and hikes from a regenerative farmhouse, then it’s on to a wilderness conservation project in Namibia for hiking and safaris.
