Wild ARTventureSafari & Art Retreat
Ink & watercolour in the South African bush
When
12 - 19 September 2027
Where
Manyoni Private Game Reserve, KwaZulu-Natal
How long
8 days
Picture watching a herd of elephants come down to drink at sunrise, and painting that same morning into your sketchbook a few hours later.
Eight days in one of the most extraordinary places on earth, with a pen, a little colour, and absolutely nothing to prove.
Closer to the wild than you've ever been
Mornings belong to the bush. Elephants, giraffes, a lion somewhere in the long grass. Nothing on a screen has ever come close, and you'll feel that in your chest.
Three unhurried hours a day, with me
Sketching together in the morning or the afternoon, whenever the day feels right. Relaxed, flexible, no rushing and nothing to prove.
Your memories, kept on the page
What you watched at sunrise becomes what you paint that afternoon. Years from now you'll open that sketchbook and feel all of it again.
Evenings around the fire
We share what we made, laugh at the wonky lines, and wonder aloud what tomorrow might bring. This is not a week you get to have very often.
Places are strictly limited, and a deposit is all it takes to hold yours.
