Wellness has become an important focus throughout the global travel and tourism industry. Just over a fifth (21%) of global travelers are currently travelling for health- and wellness- driven reasons, according to the 2022 Travel Trends research by luxury travel network Virtuoso, conducted jointly with YouGov.<\/p>\n
The trend has not gone unnoticed by the African travel industry, as witnessed by some new wellness initiatives being introduced at some of the continent’s safari camps and lodges.<\/p>\n
Natural Selection<\/strong> recently announced it has appointed a wellness guide, Robyn Sheldon, at its camps in Botswana’s Okavango Delta. With over 30 years’ experience, Sheldon plans to offer nature-integrated healing sessions at the Natural Selection camps beginning in March. Her sessions are designed to promote deep relaxation and mindfulness, reduce stress and anxiety and enhance overall well-being for safari guests.<\/p>\n Sheldon is based at Thamo Telele, Natural Selection’s camp on the outskirts of Maun, but as a specialist wellness guide she can join guests at any point during their safari.<\/p>\n Wilderness Shumba<\/strong>andBusanga Bush Camp<\/strong>, situated in the vast Busanga Plains in Zambia’s Kafue National Park, have also announced they have enhanced their wellness offerings to include a range of locally inspired, in-tent treatments. The camps have introduced a complimentary 60-minute treatment for guests staying at the camps for a minimum of four nights, offering either a Moringa Radiance Facial or Ulendo Hand and Foot Massage.<\/p>\n
