Mind, body, Pilates @ TUMAREN - 2 Nights

3rd to 5th May 2024

Pilates with Vic at Tumaren Camp

There is no better way to improve mind and body than in a beautiful natural area like Tumaren. Atop mountainous Kopjes of granite surrounded by wildlife and beautiful landscapes we will work daily on our Pilates method. Our superhero instructor, is Victoria Kelmanson whose dedication to anatomy and physiology began with a university degree and culminated in her teaching Pilates trainers at the largest training program within Europe.

3 May:

You are welcome at Tumaren from 1100 onwards to settle. A tasty lunch and drinks will be served in the pool house looking out over the salt lick that attracts a menagerie of game species. In the evening we will have a Sundown pilates session on the plain before Tumaren as the giraffes skirt us to get to their salt; the setting sun shedding its last orange light on all the bending figures. We will enjoy drinks, a fire and a hearty dinner at Tumaren.

4 MAY:

We will be woken up early with tea and coffee and after a light breakfast we will walk with the camels to Loseramoru looking for wildlife on the way and enjoying the fresh air. For those who want to try their hand at rock climbing Loseramoru is the perfect spot with a choice of easy to tricky climbs with Mt Kenya as the backdrop. For others there are perfect viewpoint to look out over the vast expanse in peace.

We will have lunch again by the swimming pool and if anyone wants to meet Vic privately the afternoon is a good time for this.

As the day begins to cool off we will head out on a walk looking for wildlife ending with an evening session of Pilates by the glowing fire. After hot showers we will enjoy cocktails and dinner under the stars.

5 MAY:

Wake up early to birdsong and start off early walking east towards a beautiful rocky kopje. We will have a sunrise Pilates class and head back to camp for a brunch and swim before heading home.

For those who want to stay you are welcome at an extra cost of US$ 175 per person. This includes dinner and an early breakfast on the 6th.
