African Luxury Wellbeing Retreat

The Perfect Escape

Zambezi Sands by Batoka is the perfect escape for a five-day transformational wellness programme, designed to help you fully reset and rejuvenate within a short period of time. These results will not only be long-lasting; but will boost your self-esteem, mental well-being, nutrition and improve your health.

Our 5-night experience encompasses the best of both worlds – enjoy 5-star luxury and a unique wildlife experience at one of the most beautiful lodges in Victoria Falls guided by some of the best wellness coaches with deep knowledge and expertise.

Our approach

Batoka Africa combines African travel and adventure with well-being and nutrition, all underpinned by community.

Our philosophy is that for one to achieve ultimate self-care and well-being, one needs to be immersed in life beyond themselves; therefore at the heart of Batoka Africa’s wellness is local community involvement, giving and service.
