WHAT: The safari, titled Nature in Balance, is an eight-day journey of discovery, both internally and in the wilds of Botswana. Combine the powerful and raw experience of the animal kingdom with unadulterated vistas, luxury accommodations, gourmet food – and an invigorating daily Pilates in the Bush workout with Kristi Cooper White, a principal member of the BASI teaching faculty.

WHEN: The glorious cool season in the bush, November 14-22, 2011. Cost is $11,870 per person sharing, excluding travel to and from the kick-off point in Johannesburg, South Africa.

WHO: Passage to Africa is the safari company behind this Pilates Safari adventure. Richard Coke, who grew up in South Africaʻs Kwazulu-Natal, will be the  guide. He is an experienced naturalist and wildlife photographer who has spent the last 12 years leading guests on safari in south and east Africa. Kristi Cooper-White had her first exposure to Pilates at age 13, and was teaching by 15. In 2005 she was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show as Oprah described the benefits she had achieved since beginning BASI Pilates with Kristi.
 

WHERE: Some of the most pristine and exclusive wildlife reserves in the world are in Botswana. This safari includes stays at Xigera Camp, a paradise island in the renowned Moremi Game Reserve, Selinda Camp, a small, luxury camp on the banks of the Selinda Spillway, and Mombo Camp, situated on Chiefʻs Island in the heart of the Okavango Delta.
 

WHY: Begin each day with the magic of an African sunrise and a Pilates in the Bush session with Kristi. Savor the sights and smells of nature on foot, and glide through peaceful waterways in mokoro (dug-out canoes). The luxury Mambo Camp is nestled under large mangosteen, ebony and fig trees and has a reputation for the best game viewing in Africa –  making it the ultimate end to a unique journey.
