A weekend to slow down. Step away from your routine and into the wide-open landscape of Lake Naivasha for three days of guided yoga, meditation, and wellness – hosted by Jimmy of Umoja Yoga.
You'll move through morning and evening sessions designed for all levels, fuel your body with healthy gourmet meals, and let nature do the rest. Between sessions, you'll take a boat ride to Crescent Island – a walking safari right on the lake – and unwind at a natural geothermal spa.
Whether you stay in a cottage on the lodge grounds or bring your own tent, this is your chance to reset – without the pressure, without the schedule, without the noise.
Great Rift Valley Lodge & Conservancy is located in Naivasha, about 90 km / 1.5 hours northwest of Nairobi. You can drive yourself or we can arrange shared transport or coordinate matatu/shuttle.
Comfortable clothes you can move in, a light jacket or layers for the evening, sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and anything personal you need.
Your accommodation option, nourishing full-board as well as all yoga, meditation, the boat ride to Crescent island and entrance fee to the geothermal spa.
