This is not your average yoga retreat. We have partnered to merge wildlife conservation volunteering, adventure & wellness to give you an experience of a lifetime.
We’ll be staying in a spectacular desert tented camp with all the home comforts to make your stay extra special.
Oana is not a luxury safari tented camp but a bedouin style camp with running hot showers, flush loos, stretchers and bedrolls in your rooms.
Bedrooms are canvas safari tents, 2 per tent, but you can have your own if you wish.
All meals are included, home made, fresh bread prepared on the fire by our wonderful experienced vegetarian chef; Mighty.
Yoga will be practiced twice daily in the wild, under the shade of the main tent, on the river or on mountain peaks and not in your usual Shala.
Wildlife conservation, Grass Roots Yoga, Hiking, Camping and more.
