For those of us who are lucky enough to have gone on safari, we know that that experience alone is enough to leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

Being in the heart of the African bush offers a chance to reconnect with the beauty of nature in a way like no other. The wildlife, wilderness and spectacular sunrises and sunsets are miracle workers for health and happiness.

But, we can’t ignore the fact that the world is getting busier, fuller and more demanding. Which is why the word ‘wellness’ is springing up on every turn. The thought of combining wellness with safari is ingenious – the two naturally go hand-in-hand. As we’ve mentioned, safaris are a wellness experience in themselves, but combining them with ‘wellness’ activities is the ultimate way to achieve full relaxation.

So, we’ve compiled a list of our top safari lodges offering wellness experiences. Here are five luxury safari spa lodges for reviving the mind, body and soul.

1. Royal Zambezi Lodge, Zambia

The Royal Zambezi Lodge on the bank of Zambia’s Zambezi River, understands the importance of relaxing and reconnecting with nature. In fact, they have what they call the DNA Royal Special. Abbreviated from “Do Nothing at All”, it is about using your stay as a chance to do nothing but relax. The Royal Zambezi Bush Spa has won multiple World Luxury Spa Awards and is one of the top spa destinations in the world. Using the surrounding nature as inspiration, it is designed to create balance and tranquility that restore the mind, body and spirit. With incredible views of the Zambezi River, treatments with indigenous ingredients and the quiet sounds of the local birdlife, it’s a truly special experience.
