Hello, I'm Laura Bunting, the founder of Wildlife & Yoga. Originally from England, Kenya captured my heart in 2016; in 2020, I made it my home.

The concept of my retreats blossomed during the challenging times of 2020 when we found ourselves disconnected from each other, travel, and the natural rhythms of life. As the world began to open up during the summer of 2020, I returned to Kenya for the first time since 2016 and fell back in love with its magic. While teaching yoga online, I explored some of Kenya’s wildest spaces. From its coastal islands and breathtaking highlands, feeling compelled to share its magic with others through Wildlife & Yoga Retreats.

My passion lies in crafting experiences in nature-rich areas with wellness woven into each day so that when my guests return home, they feel rejuvenated, full of joy, and with memories they’ll hold onto for life. Each retreat location has been personally vetted to ensure it shares the same quality and vision I wish to offer my guests.

My yoga sessions cater to everyone, from complete beginners to experienced yogis. The classes are tailored to complement each day: to calm the mind and untangle the body after travel, practice mindfulness and to be present and land where our feet are (on retreat), or open the hips and mobilise the spine after exciting but bumpy game drives through the wilderness! Our retreats are a great opportunity for those who don’t have a yoga practice to adopt one through a gentle routine woven into each day or for advanced yogis to delve deeper into their practice in paradise. There is no need to be an avid yogi to join one of our retreats, it could be where your practice begins!

I warmly welcomed you from wherever in the world you call home. Through these experiences, I simply want everyone to indulge in a week free from life's burdens, embracing the luxury of nature, nourishing food, yoga, and wellness practices.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with me via email and explore our retreat portfolio below to glimpse the transformative experiences we offer.
