We spend the farewell evening in elegant surroundings at the wonderful African restaurant Zinzi.
Day 10 — DEPARTURE OR EXTEND
Rested and recharged, you begin your journey home — or extend your stay.
We bring you back to George and say our warm goodbyes, full of gratitude for the special time we shared together — looking forward to seeing each other again, sometime and somewhere in the world.
Note for participants:
You also have the option of extending your trip with a two-day safari, which we will organize entirely according to your wishes.
If you would like to use your trip to see more of South Africa, we are more than happy to help you plan your onward journey or extended stay individually. We are glad to share valuable tips, personal recommendations and helpful information so that your trip becomes a truly special experience.
You can either fly directly to Cape Town before the retreat and travel the beautiful Garden Route from there to Plettenberg Bay, or enjoy this impressive stretch after the retreat on your way back to Cape Town.
