Uganda Wild Luxury Yoga Retreat March 2027

Anyadwe House · Murchison Falls National Park
17th – 21st March 2027 – Uganda
WILD LUXURY, YOGA, WELLNESS, RIVER NILE
Embrace stillness in the pearl of Africa and reconnect with yourself through movement, nature and awareness at Anyadwe House — an exclusive guest villa on the south bank of the mighty River Nile, bordering Murchison Falls National Park.
The name comes from the local Acholi language, meaning “daughter of the moon”, given by local tribes to Florence Baker, wife of explorer Samuel Baker, who spent many months exploring this stretch of the Nile in the 1880s in what is today Murchison Falls National Park.
This intimate, eco-friendly, safari-styled house sits within a natural expanse of private grassland sweeping down to the Nile, with magnificent views both up and downstream. It offers four luxurious en-suite double or twin bedrooms with individual balconies, plus two well-furnished safari tents; a spacious ground-floor lounge; indoor and outdoor dining; a bar; and an upper-level yoga shala with terrace opening onto a large patio and wide vistas.
There is space to stroll among the trees, daydream, snooze in a quiet nook, and cool off in the pool. The gardens look out over the Nile and are often visited by local wildlife — hippo, African jacana, herons and kingfishers.
From Tuesday 17th – Saturday 21st March 2027, join Leyla Meredith for a four-night yoga and wellness retreat designed as a sacred return — to your body, your rhythm, and your joy.
Held in one of Uganda’s most extraordinary landscapes, this intimate gathering blends nourishing yoga, meditation and nervous-system care with the living magic of the bush and the Nile.
Expect expansive morning practices suitable for everyone, breathwork to relax, ground or elevate, guided meditation, journaling, and embodied ritual — woven together with spaciousness to rest, explore, or simply be. Gentle evening practices help you soften and become one with the world around you.
Combined with animal encounters that make you smile, big skies that take your breath away, and evenings wrapped in warmth, connection and meaningful conversation.
This is more than a yoga retreat — it’s an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and realign with the rhythms of the natural world.

“Made friends for a lifetime, discovered more and more beautiful aspects about myself that I now take pride in, I felt so connected to the environment and I could not have pictured myself going on this journey with any one else! So much love for my Karuna family.”
