South African Acroventures 2023

Regsitrations are now open for our South African Acroventures retreat 2023

This full retreat is 15 days. You have the option to join week 1 (the Kruger National Park leg), week 2 (the Cape Town leg) or both weeks at a discount!

During the two weeks, workshops will be taught by certified acroyoga teachers, including Eugéne and Anna. Each workshop will be taught by a base and flyer duo. 

Please note that this is not a luxury retreat, nor will it be a typically relaxing retreat where you will stay in one place for the duration of the retreat. This is aimed at the more affordable to mid-range of similar events in South African, to make it more accessible. However, accommodation will be clean and comfortable, the food offered with included meals will be plentiful and tasty and experiences shared will be amazing.

If you decide to join us, your holiday will packed with adventure and plenty of time to socialising, on top of ample time for acro and lots of opportunities for taking breathtaking photos.

Additional notes

Notes on accommodation during the 2 weeks:

• rooms are for 2 or 3 people sharing;

• some of the rooms only have twin beds available; where possible, couples will be given first option on the double rooms available;

• we will try to accommodate any requests for sharing, but I will have the final decision on room sharing depending on who signs up for the event.

Notes on food:

• Vegetarian/vegan/other options available on request;

• Some meals might be on the go when sight-seeing excursions are arranged. Where applicable, we will arrange shopping excursions for attendees to buy their meals;

• I will offer to host/accompany attendees for breakfasts and dinners not included, at a nice restaurant (good quality food and restaurants at relatively affordable prices is one of South Africa’s attractions). These would be for everyone’s own expense.

• Included meals typically won't include drinks; drinks will be for your own expense.
