Guided Journeys— Where wellness meets wonder

Fall in love with how your life expands


Samira's retreats combine movement and mindfulness practices, deep cultural immersion, and the kind of insider access you can't find in guidebooks. Small groups, beautiful accommodations, and experiences that are both indulgent and meaningful - this is travel that expands your world while strengthening your foundation. Embark on adventures that create space for discovery, connection, curiosity, and renewed perspective.

Beyond Typical Travel

Cultural Bridge-Building, Not Surface Tourism
With over 25 years as a professional cultural dance artist and deep relationships across the MENAHT region, East Africa, and beyond, Samira brings you to the must-see destinations AND the hidden places only locals know. Learn traditional crafts from master artisans, share meals with families in their homes, and experience cultures with respect and genuine connection.

Movement Woven Throughout
Daily practices range from gentle mobility work and core strengthening to meditation, nature hikes, and cultural dance. Everything is adapted to all levels and designed to help you feel good in your body throughout the day's adventures - whether you're exploring ancient medinas, trekking through rose valleys, or riding camels into the Sahara.

Exceptional Value, Intimate Experience
Small groups of 8-16 people ensure personalized attention. Samira handles every detail with care, and when the unexpected happens (and it always does), you're in the hands of someone who makes everything okay. Past travelers say, "I would travel with you anywhere." And many keep coming back for multiple retreats.

    Return to the Wild: Kenya Safari Wellness Retreat 2027

    June, 2027

    The soul of Kenya is calling. In June 2027, I'm leading another intimate wellness safari through this extraordinary landscape—where elephants traverse golden savannas, lions drowse in afternoon shade, and giraffes move with impossible grace against endless horizons.

    This 11-day journey combines world-class wildlife encounters with daily movement and mindfulness practices, all from the comfort of top-quality private 4x4 vehicles and carefully selected lodges. We'll begin in Nairobi with visits to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (prepare to fall in love with baby elephants), the Giraffe Centre, and the Karen Blixen Museum before heading into safari country. Along the way: a village visit to connect with local traditions, walking safaris that bring you closer to the land, and sundowners that turn the African sky into a canvas of gold and crimson.

    Details are still being finalized with my partners on the ground, but I wanted to give you first notice. Join the waitlist below and you'll be the first to receive the full itinerary, accommodation details, and early registration access before I announce publicly.

    Space will be limited. The wild awaits.
