Sashwa River of Stars
A world-class wellbeing safari retreat
“In the sublime beauty of South Africa’s legendary Kruger Park, Sashwa goes beyond just game drives. This is a property that is changing the way we think about travel.”
Discover a 12-suite sanctuary on the banks of the Olifants River rooted in the belief of wilderness to heal, clarify and inspire. Slow guided bush walks, dusk game drives and nights illuminated by the magic of the stars are interspersed with daily holistic practices: yoga, meditation, therapeutic body treatments and time to just be. The river-facing yoga deck and ‘Wholeness Centre’, with its spa, gym and Himalayan crystal infrared sauna, support both physical restoration, gentle movement and quiet reconnection. Inspirational plant-based food, from sweet potato flatbreads to pumpkin fritters, utilise ingredients grown in the on-site organic permaculture garden ensuring purity of nourishment.
As well as their own signature retreats and third party hosted retreats, Sashwa offers 3 and 6-night ‘Self Retreat’ packages for deep self-reflection, mental clarity and emotional healing. For anyone who has lost trust in the beauty of life, or is feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or exhausted, a stay here reignites joy, encourages a return to natural
rhythms and inspires a meaningful connection to both nature and inner self.
Furthermore, founder Peter Eastwood runs Sashwa as a social enterprise. 100% of profits are reinvested into conservation and local community initiatives, including an educational facility for African youths. Peace, positivity and purpose in one perfect parcel.
