Here, each therapy is a journey—an opportunity to revive oneself through practices that have endured through the ages.

Post-Safari Aromatherapy Massage

Expert therapists use a combination of gentle and hard pressure strokes throughout your body to soothe you from your adventures. Done in conjunction with heated essential oils that can uplift or calm you down, it’s a treat that brings supreme bliss.

Combined with gentle massage, this sensory experience leaves you feeling fresher and lighter, with brighter skin nourished by local ingredients.
