Becoming Me Again - an EcoSafari Retreat.
Reconnect with yourself. Become your future.
Refocus. Realign. Reawaken... in the wild beauty of Madikwe. A powerful healing experience amongst the simplicity & stillness of Mosetlha Bush Camp & Eco Lodge.
We invite you to join us for a deeply restorative 3-day wellness retreat in the heart of the wild - Becoming Me Again.
Nestled within the Madikwe Game Reserve, Mosetlha offers the perfect setting for you to unplug, be present, and return to yourself. With no Wi-Fi, no electricity, and no distractions, the simplicity of life in the bush creates space for something rare: stillness.
We believe that healing and transformation are most powerful when grounded in nature. Here, you’ll wake to birdsong, gather around crackling fires, and feel the quiet rhythm of the wild holding space for your journey.
We’re honoured to partner with Executive Coach Briony Liber of The Briony Liber Coaching Group, whose gentle yet powerful guidance supports women navigating life’s turning points - from menopause to career shifts, loss, and moments of self-doubt or disconnection.
We’ve also brought on board Julia Koutzayiotis, a qualified and experienced meditation and movement practitioner and coach, for our guided sessions on the deck. Julia believes that through coaching & gentle coaxing, people are able to identify their true selves and find meaning and fulfilment in life, free of obstacles, limiting or negative beliefs and limiting decision of the past.
Each day is thoughtfully designed to help you refocus your mind, realign with your inner compass, and reawaken to your truest self. Through neuroscience-backed coaching, journaling, somatic practices, guided meditations, gentle movement, nourishing meals, game drives, and reflective time in nature, we help you peel back the layers and rediscover who you are - beneath the noise, beyond the roles.
Is this retreat for me?
If the following resonates with you - then yes!
We wander through this life often unconsciously and wake up one day wondering where we are, how we got here, and what happened to the person we once knew ourselves to be. These wakening moments so often occur when we are in one of life’s transitions – menopause, divorce, a career change, retirement, a loss, a medical diagnosis, any form of change (intentional or unintentional).
These wakening moments can be unsettling.
These wakening moments can also be an opportunity:
To get conscious,
To get curious,
To get compassionate
To get courageous
To get creative
To get connected.
Connected to yourself, your future self, your true self.
These wakening moments are an opportunity to become you. Again.
Becoming Me Again is not just a retreat. It’s a return. A remembering. A sacred pause to hear your own voice again.
With Briony and Julia's guidance, you will reconnect with yourself and take the first steps in becoming you again.
Come as you are. Leave as who you were always meant to be.

About the Lodge and Reserve
Mosetlha Bush Camp & Eco Lodge is family-owned and run, a rustic and intimate, unfenced Bush Camp in the heart of Madikwe Game Reserve. It is also the reserve’s only genuine Eco Lodge, and has been running for 30 years - the second lodge to be built in Madikwe.
Appealing to Explorers seeking the soul of the wild rather than the indulgence of a luxury hotel, Mosetlha offers a completely immersive wilderness experience that is easy on the planet (AND the pocket).
Location:
Situated in the North West Province (with Botswana as its northern border) and one of our nearest malaria free, Big Five areas, Madikwe is a 3½ to 4 hour drive from Johannesburg, depending on which route you choose. Almost 75 000 hectares in extent, rugged, with an untouched beauty, Madikwe is the fourth largest Game Reserve in the country.
Wildlife:
The wildlife is extensive and impressive. With the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and both black and white rhino) plus the extremely rare and endangered wild dog and cheetah and almost any other predator you can think of, a multitude of plains game and the latest bird list boasting 478 species, Madikwe has earned its place as one of the most spectacular game viewing destinations in Southern Africa.
The special thing about Madikwe is that no self-driving is permitted within the Reserve, or day trips – each lodge has qualified field guides that take guests out in game vehicles. This means you get a more exclusive Big 5 safari experience, without queues of cars converging around a sighting. READ MORE.
Conservation:
We are very proud to be a part of the important Madikwe conservation initiative and look forward to welcoming you to one of its best kept secrets – the little Bush Camp nestled at the very heart of the Reserve, where you really get the dust of Africa on your feet!
Authentic Eco Safari Experience:
The simplicity of open fire cooking, no electricity or WiFi (despite this we are able to charge your camera batteries for you), safari showers (with hot water!) and raised wooden cabins lets you escape real life just for a while and appreciate a genuine bushveld experience.
Game drives through the entire Reserve in open 4x4's with professional guides give you the opportunity to enjoy the fascination of the wilderness and experience a true safari adventure.
