Get in touchThe Destination
This journey begins at Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Two nights at Shongwe Oasis — a boutique retreat hotel surrounded by lush gardens — offer the chance to experience the falls in their full power and to practice yoga at sunrise while drifting along the Zambezi. From there, the path leads into Botswana’s wilderness.
Set in Kavimba, Munga Plains is surrounded by sweeping savannah, just 23 kilometers from Chobe National Park. Here, game drives reveal four of the legendary Big Five — elephants, lions, leopards, and buffalo — alongside antelope, giraffes, and extraordinary birdlife, moving through an untouched and unspoiled landscape.

Accommodation
The retreat balances two worlds: two nights in the intimacy of Shongwe Oasis in Victoria Falls, followed by the elemental beauty of Munga Plains in Botswana for the remainder of the stay.
At Shongwe Oasis, airy rooms with a full set of comfort amenities and private verandas overlook tropical gardens, creating a gentle retreat. Over at Munga Plains, the glamping experience blends comfort with a deep connection to nature. Crafted from wood, thatching grass, and canvas, the tents create a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. Private porches overlook the sweeping savannah, where the rhythms of the wild come alive at sunrise and dusk. Each space features an ensuite bathroom and a spacious double bed. Thoughtfully integrated modern amenities complement the rustic elegance, offering a stay that feels both immersive and serene.
