Dear adventurous sisters,

Fifteen years ago, I followed my heart to Tanzania for love. Since then, I've built my business here with my husband, creating Makasa Safaris, organizing safari holidays, while also raising our three children in this beautiful land. Our multicultural family keeps me alive, constantly inspired by the diversity and richness of Tanzanian culture.

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to attend a business course led by Tony Robbins. Being surrounded by like-minded individuals was invigorating. Have you ever experienced the energy buzzing with shared ambition and creativity? This experience sparked an idea that I'm thrilled to share with you.

I am introducing the Women's Safari Retreat, an extraordinary fusion of business empowerment, networking and thrilling adventure, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Tanzania's landscapes. Let's embark on this adventure together!

Your time is valuable. In the midst of your hectic life, finding silence can be powerful yet elusive. On safari, I've found that silence gives me all the ideas and inspiration I need; it nourishes my soul. Tanzania and this retreat offer you that silence to think, to leap, and to rejuvenate.

Kickstart and connection

Embark on a transformative journey during the first real day of our Women's Safari Retreat. We will immerse ourselves in introductions and getting to know each other, setting the stage for meaningful connections. The day will begins with energizing network sessions, where we'll introduce our businesses. Together, we'll set inspiring goals for the week ahead. Join us for a workshop designed to help you create a strategic business roadmap that guides your company from its current state to where you envision it in the future. This session will equip you with the tools and techniques needed to set clear goals, develop actionable strategies, and measure your progress effectively. Whether you're launching a new venture or looking to grow an existing business, this workshop will provide you with a clear roadmap to navigate your business journey and achieve sustainable success. As the sun begins to set, we'll enjoy a serene horse riding activity, perfect for beginners, allowing us to unwind and connect with nature in this spectacular setting. 

Exploring nature & yoga with the Maasai community

Over the next two days, we will immerse ourselves in the vibrant culture of the Maasai Community. At the Maasai Lodge, you'll meet the colorful and awe-inspiring members of this famous African tribe. Spend the night in a traditional boma (village), overlooking the expansive Maasai plains. Our days will be filled with enriching experiences, from nature walks where we'll learn about the Maasai's use of natural remedies to invigorating yoga and meditation sessions. We will also participate in a transformative breathwork and ice bath workshop, led by Linde Jelena, designed to help entrepreneurs and business leaders harness their inner strength and turn fear into power. We'll continue our journey towards our goals for the week. As night falls, enjoy a dinner of roasted goat by the crackling fire, or choose from a selection of delicious dishes. Nestled in a comfortable Maasai hut, let your mind wander and dream about the incredible new world awaiting you.

Serengeti safari adventure

In the final days of our retreat, we embark on an unforgettable safari adventure in the renowned Serengeti. No trip to Tanzania is complete without experiencing the wonders of this wildlife paradise. Journeying in a Land Cruiser, we'll head towards the world-famous Serengeti, home to the iconic Great Migration. As we traverse the vast plains, it will feel like we're stepping into the pages of National Geographic. Our Land Cruiser is equipped with a special interior, complete with a pop-up roof, allowing us to stand tall for filming and capturing breathtaking photos. Prepare to be amazed by the diversity of wildlife we encounter. For a truly unforgettable experience, we'll take to the skies in a hot air balloon, offering a bird's eye view of this magnificent landscape. As the day comes to a close, we'll enjoy sundowners in the heart of the Serengeti, savoring the beauty of the sunset. Our time together concludes with a reflective journaling session amidst the serene and natural surroundings, allowing us to capture the essence of this incredible journey.

Luxurious accommodations

Your Women's Safari Retreat experience begins in style at a luxurious hotel, setting the tone for an unforgettable adventure. After that we'll immerse ourselves in the unique concept of Amini Maasai Lodge, a cultural gem in Tanzania. Here, you'll stay in a traditional boma (village) with breathtaking views of the Maasai land. The grand finale of our retreat takes us to the heart of Serengeti Park, where we'll spend three nights in a luxurious tented camp/lodge. Each accommodation offers extreme comfort with ensuite bathroom facilities, ensuring you have the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Choose your preferred sleeping arrangement: indulge in shared accommodation (two people per room) for a vibrant social experience, or opt for a private room for added privacy and tranquility at an extra cost. Whatever you choose, rest assured, your comfort is our priority.

Tanzania Women Safari Retreat

How is this different from other events/retreats I've attended?

You know, one of the things that makes this retreat so special is the truly magical setting we've chosen - the stunning natural beauty of Tanzania. Too often, these types of events are held in generic hotel conference rooms or sterile event spaces. But we wanted to create something truly transformative by immersing you in the awe-inspiring landscapes of Africa.

Just imagine stepping out of your bungalow each morning and being greeted by the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro towering in the distance. Picture yourself taking a mindful walk through the lush, verdant forests, feeling the energy of the earth beneath your feet. And of course, the opportunity to go on a safari and witness the incredible wildlife of this region - it's the kind of experience that will leave an indelible mark on your soul.

But it's not just the natural beauty that sets this retreat apart. You'll also have the chance to immerse yourself in the rich cultural tapestry of Tanzania. Our local guides will share insights into the traditions, customs, and ways of life that have been passed down for generations. Imagine the inspiration and perspective you'll gain by connecting with this vibrant community.

This isn't just another business event - it's a true adventure for the senses. The sights, the sounds, the flavors...it's all designed to awaken your creativity, expand your mindset, and help you see your business, and your life, through a completely new lens. Where else can you blend world-class business strategy with the kind of transformative, soul-stirring experience you'll find here in Tanzania?

Tanzania Women Safari Retreat

What's the time commitment?

The time commitment for this transformative experience is just one week - from November 23rd through November 30th. We know that as busy women entrepreneurs, carving out that dedicated time for yourself can be a challenge. But I can assure you, this week will be an investment that pays dividends for years to come.

During that time, you'll be fully immersed in the retreat, with a schedule designed to maximize your personal and professional growth. From morning meditations in the stunning natural surroundings to afternoon workshops led by industry experts, every moment is carefully curated to help you breakthrough, get clarity, and build the momentum you need to take your business to new heights.

Tanzania Women Safari Retreat

What's the financial commitment?

And I know the financial investment is also a consideration. That's why we've made sure to offer very flexible payment plan options. You're welcome to reach out to our team, and we'll work with you to create a payment schedule that fits comfortably within your budget. We want to remove any barriers that might prevent you from joining us on this incredible journey of growth and transformation.

The way I see it, this retreat is one of the best investments you can make in yourself and your business. The skills you'll learn, the connections you'll forge, and the breakthroughs you'll experience will pay dividends for years to come. It's a chance to step away from the day-to-day grind, gain a fresh perspective, and come back to your work with a renewed sense of passion and purpose. And with our flexible payment options, I'm confident we can make it work for your financial situation.

Tanzania Women Safari Retreat

Who else will be there?

One of the things that makes this retreat so special is the incredible diversity of women who will be joining us. We've had a fantastic response so far, with attendees ranging from seasoned entrepreneurs in their 50s to rising stars in their 30s who are just starting their own businesses.

What unites this group is a shared passion for growth, both personally and professionally. You'll have the opportunity to connect with women who have built thriving companies from the ground up, as well as those who are climbing the corporate ladder in leadership roles at larger organizations.

The common thread is a drive to excel, to make a bigger impact, and to find that elusive work-life balance that so many of us struggle with. These are women who aren't afraid to take risks, to think outside the box, and to support each other along the way.

I can assure you, the conversations, the networking, and the camaraderie you'll experience will be unlike anything you've encountered at a typical business event. These women aren't just here to collect business cards - they're here to forge deep, meaningful connections that will last long after we leave Tanzania.

So whether you're a solopreneur looking to scale your venture, a mid-level manager seeking to transition into entrepreneurship, or a seasoned executive wanting to reinvent your leadership approach, you'll find your tribe here. This is a room full of women who are committed to lifting each other up and making a lasting impact on the world.

Tanzania Women Safari Retreat

How will this fit into my already busy schedule?

I know all too well how challenging it can be to carve out time for yourself and your business when you're already juggling a million different priorities. That's why I want to assure you that this retreat is designed to be a strategic investment of your time, not just another commitment that's going to overwhelm your calendar.

Think about it this way - when was the last time you truly stepped away from the day-to-day grind to work ON your business, rather than just in it? This week in Tanzania is going to give you that precious gift of space and clarity that's so essential for growth and innovation.

Yes, it's a week out of your normal routine, but I can guarantee you that the impact it will have on your productivity, your mindset, and your overall well-being will pay dividends for months and years to come. It's not just about the activities and workshops we have planned - it's about the headspace you'll create, the connections you'll forge, and the renewed sense of passion and purpose you'll bring back to your work.

And let's not forget, this isn't just another networking event or training seminar. This is a true immersive experience that's designed to be transformative on every level. The natural setting, the cultural immersion, the emotional breakthroughs - it's all woven together to create something truly special that will elevate every aspect of your life, not just your business.

So while I know it may seem like a big commitment upfront, I can assure you that the return on investment, both personally and professionally, will be exponential. This is the kind of experience that has the power to be a true inflection point in your journey as an entrepreneur. And with our flexible scheduling and support, we'll make sure it fits seamlessly into your already busy life.
