Why journey to Namibia?
It's all about location, location, location, right? So, if your busy schedule only permits one week but you still want the full safari experience without the hassle of tiring drives, hectic location changes, and organizational issues - this is the perfect place!
Simply hop on the plane – on your arrival everything is taken care of: personal pick-up at the airport, short transfer, no lodge-hopping, no malaria vaccination, no jet lag, no nada!
On arrival at Windhoek International Airport, you will be met by a representative and your Namibian adventure begins. The drive is only about 40 minutes from the international airport and offers spectacular landscapes, plus a chance to see baboons, giraffes, zebras or antelope on the way…
Wake up in one of the “Savanna Rooms” that are equipped with sweeping panoramic views. Glimpse Namibia’s wildlife from your private outdoor terrace. The place to retreat whenever you feel you need some quiet “alone time”.
Once you have arrived on our peace of heaven, settle into your luxurious accommodation, relax for the rest of the day or join one of the many exciting activities that Habitas offers. A much-needed massage will loosen your body and open your heart as you take in the beautiful surroundings.
Start your personal journey with an ancient intention setting ritual and shake-off the travel vibes with an energetic dance session. Make contact with the power of your breath. After that you will all get-together at the large dinner table under the African sky.

Is there a minimum or maximum number of participants?
Our retreat provides a highly exclusive and profound breath safari experience. With only 11 luxury safari tents on site, the group size is limited to 22 participants. This ensures individual attention and an intimate atmosphere. You deserve this!
What is the typical daily schedule?
Each day begins with an optional sunrise yoga or meditation session followed by a healthy breakfast. Morning activities might include silent bush walks or game drives on open safari vehicles for wildlife viewing, followed by breathwork or flexibility classes. We will make sure you have free time in the afternoon for relaxation or optional activities like wellness treatments. Evenings conclude with restorative breathwork sessions, dance, or deep dive meditations before dining under the stars.
Can I extend my stay before or after the retreat?
Great idea, Namibia has so much more to offer….
You can extend your stay at Our Habitas upon the availability of the lodge. Please speak to the reservations team directly. We are happy to recommend a trusted and specialized tour operator who will assist you in planning and customizing an individual onward journey. Please contact silke@breathq.academy - she knows all about it.
What should I pack for the retreat?
We recommend bringing comfortable breathable yoga clothing such as leggings, shorts, and loose tops for comfort during sessions. Bring a light sweater or shawl for early mornings and evenings, as temperatures can drop. We advise bringing a reusable water bottle and your favorite yoga mat. Good sunglasses are non-negotiable on sunlit days, sunscreen (please use the highest protection of sunblock 50 plus), sturdy walking shoes (sneakers and/or boots), lip balm, hydrating face and body cream - and most important: an open mind.
When should I arrive in Windhoek / Husea Kutako Airport?
The retreat starts on 18th October in the morning and finishes on 23rd October around 6 p.m. We will decide on the schedule when the participants share their arrival and departure times and will notify you on our WhatsApp group created for this retreat.
On 18th October, check-in time is 2 p.m. Once you have settled into your tent, we will meet for a "Welcome Circle" in the afternoon around 4 - 5 p.m. (depending on the arrival times) and have dinner under the stars.
On the last day, 24th October we will have breakfast together around 9 - 10 a.m. and then have to say goodbye. Check-out is at 11 a.m. or earlier if that's better for you🙂.
Do I need malaria prophylaxis?
Our Habitas is located in the Khomas Hochland region, close to Windhoek which is a malaria-free zone but we recommend that you consult the CDC's traveler's health pages or your healthcare provider, who can offer guidance based on your specific travel itinerary and health profile.
