Safari Wellness Retreat: Woman Enough

WOMAN ENOUGH - A Sacred Safari Retreat.
Step out of the chaos. Step into the wild.
4 nights | Monday 10^th - Friday 14^th August 2026 | Madikwe Game Reserve

When last did you truly switch off?

There are places on this earth where the noise of the world simply falls away. Where the sky is so wide and the silence so deep that you remember – perhaps for the first time in years – who you really are.
Mosetlha is one of those places, offering a raw authenticity – the perfect intimate setting for you to unplug, be present, and return to yourself.

Join us in the heart of malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve for five transformative days in the African wilderness, guided by published author, life coach, and healer Julia Koutzayiotis – whose acclaimed book, Woman Enough, has helped women around the world reconnect with their truth, release what no longer serves them, and reclaim the woman within.

No electricity. No news. No noise.
Just you, the bush, the stars, and the gentle work of coming home to yourself.

With just 10 twin cabins, the retreat maintains a sense of space and ease, welcoming both solo travellers and anyone sharing with a friend.
Mornings are gently guided by Julia - blending yoga, meditation, and mindful coaching with opportunities for one-on-one guidance and free time.
Afternoons unfold on safari, and evenings invite rest beneath the stars.

With few distractions, the simplicity of life in the bush creates space for something rare: stillness.
Life is noisy, fast, and demanding. This is your pause.

This is not a packed schedule. It’s intentional space.
Time to think. Time to breathe. Time to reconnect - without distraction.

Your days unfold gently, guided by the natural rhythm of the bush:
Dawn breaks over the reserve. You wake to the quiet of the bushveld as the day begins slowly around you. Choose between an optional guided bush walk with Justice through Big Five territory, or an embodied yoga practice as the sun rises above the trees.
Mid-morning is held by Julia. Guided meditation, meaningful conversation, and immersive sessions rooted in Woman Enough – remembering who you were before the world told you who to be, releasing what no longer serves you, and reclaiming your full, radiant self.
Afternoons are yours – to rest, journal, or simply be.
As the light turns gold, head out on an open vehicle with Jonny and Justice for a late afternoon safari through Madikwe – home to the Big Five, endangered wild dogs, cheetah, and over 350 bird species.
Sundowners in the bush. Dinner by firelight. A sky full of stars.

With just 10 cabins available, the retreat is designed to feel personal, unhurried, and deeply restorative – allowing for quiet reflection, meaningful connection, and genuine rest.

Solo travellers are warmly welcomed - here’s what a previous guest shared (and she’s returning this year):
"The retreat was a way to connect with others but have quiet time. I felt safe and welcome. The feeling of being completely and totally away from it all is what makes this place special. And yoga on the deck overlooking wildlife at sunrise was surreal."

What you'll take with you:
A slower rhythm.
A sense of calm that stays with you.
Clarity where there was noise.
Space where there was overwhelm.
And the simple, powerful feeling of coming back to yourself.

Last year's pilot Retreat was a great success, with guests leaving restored, inspired, and deeply connected to the bush and themselves:

“A fabulous mix of workshop and wildlife experience… Yoga on the deck, especially the night session, was magical. The camp itself was great, and the staff were helpful and unobtrusive.” – Cerina Green

“The camp offered a beautiful opportunity to disconnect from the busyness (and business) of the outside world and reconnect with ourselves. The simplicity of the cabins, nourishing home cooked meals, and the open deck (for yoga, stargazing, and watching the eclipse of the moon) were completely aligned with the philosophy of the retreat.” – Briony Liber

“This retreat nourished my mind, body, and spirit. I left with clarity, new friendships, and a deeper sense of self. I would highly recommend this experience to any woman looking for transformation, rest, community, or reconnection with nature..” – Meg Bryant

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 over 350 species, Madikwe has earned its place as one of the most spectacular game viewing destinations in Southern Africa.

Exclusivity:
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.
