In the heart of the South African wilderness, where the sun kisses the horizon and the air is infused with the sounds of nature, Inga, a powerful CEO, and her best friend embarked on a life-changing journey. This high-end luxury safari at a private game lodge in South Africa was meticulously crafted to help them unwind, rejuvenate, and rediscover their purpose while letting go of years of accumulated stress.

LUXURY PRIVATE GAME LODGE VILLA - SOUTH AFRICA ALIVE LUXE SAFARIS



Flying in to her private game lodge on a helicopter, upon arrival, Inga and her friend were welcomed at an exquisite private game lodge villa, where opulence and nature harmoniously intertwined. The villa featured:

  • An infinity pool that seemed to spill into the vast savannah, offering breathtaking views of the wildlife going about their daily life directly in view from all areas of the space.

  • Sumptuous interiors adorned with African art and plush furnishings, providing a sanctuary of comfort.

  • A private chef dedicated to crafting a nutrition-based menu tailored to their tastes and dietary needs.

  • Invisible yet highly attentive service staff giving Inga and her friend the time to be, reflect, disengage and switch off their phones to find peace in every moment.


Daily Yoga and Meditation To De Stress In The Wilderness Of Safari


Each morning began with invigorating yoga sessions on a deck overlooking the wild, where the sun rose over the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink. Guided by a skilled instructor, Inga and her friend found peace and centeredness, allowing them to release the tension built up from their demanding lives. Meditation sessions followed, providing the perfect opportunity to connect with their inner selves amidst the serene sounds of nature.

Long Private Game Drives & Horse Back Riding With Giraffes


Afternoons were spent exploring the untamed beauty of the African landscape. Long game drives took them deep into the wilderness, where they encountered majestic elephants, graceful giraffes, and elusive leopards. An avid horse lover, Inga claims her horse back ride through the wilderness where giraffes meandered peacefully alongside the horses will go down as one of the most exquisite memories of her life. Each excursion was an adventure, filled with awe and wonder, offering a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

5 Star Dinners Under the Stars


As night fell, the experience transformed into a magical affair. Dinners under the stars became a nightly ritual, where they savoured gourmet meals prepared by their private chef followed by specifically created healing herbal teas to soothe the nervous system and ensure a deep sleep. The table was set amidst the sounds of the wild, illuminated by soft candlelight, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and connection. Each meal was not just food; it was an experience, with flavours that celebrated the local culture.


Unlimited Massage and Spa Treatments


To further enhance their relaxation, Inga and her friend enjoyed unlimited massages and spa treatments. Skilled therapists provided a range of services, from deep tissue massages to rejuvenating facials and reiki sessions, all designed to melt away the stress and tension that had accumulated over the years. The spa, nestled in a tranquil corner of the lodge, became their sanctuary for healing and rejuvenation.


Personal Life Coach and Energy Healing


Accompanying them on this journey was a personal life coach, serving as a full-time guide. This expert facilitated deep discussions, helping Inga and her friend navigate their thoughts, aspirations, and fears. Through personalized coaching sessions, they explored the next stages of their lives, gaining clarity and direction.

Additionally, energy healing sessions were incorporated into their routine, allowing them to release negative energy and embrace positivity. This holistic approach fostered a sense of lightness and empowerment, enabling them to let go of the burdens they had been carrying.


Recreating the Next Stage of Life


Throughout the safari, Inga and her friend were given ample time to reflect and recreate the next stage of their lives. Surrounded by nature's beauty and guided by their coach, they began to envision new possibilities, setting intentions for a future filled with purpose and passion. The experience was not just about relaxation; it was about transformation.

Why They Loved It?

This luxury wellness safari was more than a getaway; it was an investment in their well-being and a step towards reclaiming their lives. For Inga and her best friend, the journey was a profound reminder of the importance of self-care, connection, and the endless possibilities that lie ahead.

Testimonial from Inga

I recently had the most incredible experience with Alive at the 5-star private safari lodge that Heidi and Jenn chose for me, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in luxury and tranquility. The stunning views of the surrounding wildlife were breathtaking, and the attention to detail in the lodge’s design truly made it feel like a home away from home.
What truly set this experience apart was the holistic wellness program. Recovering from the passing of my father who was also my best friend, taking over 4 companies through a fog of grief - I was beyond burn out and in need of deep healing. Each day was perfectly paced for me. It was important that I never felt rushed. Their warm hospitality made me feel welcomed and cared for, yet I was given so much space to just be with nature enhancing the overall experience. The combination of our beautiful villa, the animals, and being able to focus just on myself made this trip unforgettable.
If you are looking for a unique getaway that nourishes both the body and soul, this Alive is the perfect choice. I left feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and already planning my return! Five stars are simply not enough for this extraordinary experience!
Thank you for an unforgettable journey!

Inga. Netherlands. CEO
