The Local Perspective
Kenya is a land of extraordinary beauty, rich traditions, and vibrant cultural history—from its modern capital to its wildlife-filled savannas and ancient Swahili coast. Through our partnership with Synergy Yoga and longtime Kenya resident Salim Rollins, guests will experience the country through an authentic, local lens.
This retreat intentionally explores three distinct regions to reveal Kenya’s full diversity: Nairobi’s dynamic urban heartbeat, the Rift Valley’s profound connection to wildlife and ancestral landscapes, and Lamu’s peaceful coastal heritage shaped by centuries of Swahili culture. With Salim’s deep relationships, on-the-ground knowledge, and community connections, participants gain a richer, more intimate understanding of Kenya—its people, stories, and spirit. This journey offers more than sightseeing; it’s an immersive cultural experience that honors the land, supports local partners, and invites guests to feel Kenya’s true essence.
