DAY THREE & FOUR: Dinokeng Game Reserve to Limpokwena

Today we have a 6-hour drive to the banks of the Limpopo River to Limpokwena Nature Reserve. An oasis on the South African side of the Botswana border (and open to the Thuli Block), the reserve is committed to preserving 2400 hectares of South African bush where the Limpopo and Mogalakwena Rivers converge. Here they consider the fauna and flora partners and guides rather than assets, and wildlife moves as freely as the guests do.
The Island Camp is an exclusive, rustic tented camp set on an Island in the Limpopo River – the perfect spot to unwind and take in the surrounding wilderness! Elephants, hippos, and hyenas are regular visitors, and there are plenty of crocodiles in the surrounding pools. There is no cellular service or WiFi (there is a hand-held radio for emergencies), but there is electricity and plug points in the main kitchen and tents.

Accommodation: Island Camp (Limpokwena)
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner (S/C)

We’ll embark on a 1-2 hour drive, crossing Platjan Border into the Tuli Wilderness in Botswana where we will spend the next four nights at Tswehe Lone Tree camp (experiencing staying in dome tents and bucket showers). We’ll explore the area, do game walk and visit a local community or school at Lone Tree Camp, while constantly being surrounded by the natural beauty of the Tuli Block.

Accommodation: Lone Tree Camp (Tswehe Wildlife Reserve)
Meals: Breakfast, lunch & dinner (catered)

Coaching at Lone Tree Wilderness Camp (By Kamilla Norrman)

Overview: Whilst nestled in the serene and inspiring Lone Tree Wilderness Camp, the four-day coaching program is designed to harness the transformative power of nature and guide you through a journey of deep personal reflection and growth. Wildlife observation through safari drives and bush hikes, school visits, and evening campfire gatherings all interlink, creating the ideal setting for introspection and empowerment. The program aims to help participants emerge with a renewed belief in themselves, a greater understanding of their inner desires, a deeper connection to nature and others, and a confident outlook on the boundless opportunities ahead.

Day 6: Awakening Awareness & Intention Setting 

You will begin the journey with a morning safari ride, allowing the wild beauty of the landscape to awaken the senses. The day’s coaching will focus on setting intentions with a workshop entitled “Connecting with Your Inner Self.” Participants will explore their core values and aspirations, setting the tone for the transformative experience ahead. The evening will close with a campfire circle, sharing initial thoughts and setting personal goals.

The day will end with a fireside meditation and reflection, fostering inner peace and clarity.

Day 8: Overcoming Limiting Beliefs & Embracing Empowerment 

A day of exploration will be complemented by the workshop “Breaking Barriers.” This session will focus on identifying and overcoming limiting beliefs, encouraging participants to rewrite their narratives.
