ABOUT SATORI AFRICA, YOUR HOSTS:
Satori can be roughly translated to mean enlightenment or awakening.
The name Satori Africa is inspired by the beautiful restorative power and healing nature of the African continent. This land lends itself to a holiday of sheer relaxation, indulgence, and restoration.
Mother Nature was no doubt in a particularly generous mood when blessing Africa with breath-taking sunsets, the crisp salty refreshing air of the Atlantic Ocean, produce of unbridled goodness and abundance and mountains of staggering proportions.
Besides providing you with the ultimate in bespoke itineraries, we firmly believe that no trip to Africa is complete without incorporating a host of wellness experiences.
