Rowan Hawke - Retreat Guest
Unlike anything I could've imagined. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. A highlight was the incredible leopard sightings — absolutely breathtaking and intense. There’s nothing quite like being that close to such powerful animals. What made the trip even more special were the evenings spent around the campfire. Sharing stories under the stars with a group of men from different walks of life created a deep connection I wasn’t expecting. The combination of wildlife encounters and those reflective, personal moments made the whole experience feel truly unique.
The guides were so knowledge and passionate and the accommodation was top notch - it was both an adventurous and meaningful experience for me.

From the moment we arrived, the connection to nature was palpable – tracking lions at sunrise, witnessing elephants in their natural habitat, and feeling the pulse of the wilderness.
The safari experiences brought me closer to the raw beauty of Africa, yet the true magic was in the bond formed with the other men. We embraced vulnerability, shared stories, and experienced a profound sense of togetherness.
The service, food, and accommodations are world-class, and the wildness and camaraderie will remain with me forever.

My experience on the African Men's Retreat was nothing short of incredible. It was a raw adventure in every sense - You really get pulled into the wild here. The safari experiences are beyond what I expected, but it wasn't just about being out in nature; it’s about connecting with yourself and the group in ways I didn’t see coming. The brotherhood that formed was real and powerful.
