Ingwenya African Retreat for holistic health and rejuvenation of body, mind and soul.

Holistic health refers to a philosophy of medical care that views physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of life as closely interconnected and equally important approaches to treatment.

Our Retreat is nestled on the banks of the Crocodile River, this hidden gem is what relaxation with a holistic approach is all about. From individual treatment rooms to unique treatments or packages are offered by our practitioners.

Come and experience Auricular Thermo Audio Therapy (ear candling), Lymph Drainage or Reflexology, also called Foot zone therapy, as the pressure points on the feet are stimulated by thumb and finger walking, as well as static pressure.

Painful spots reflect illnesses of other parts of the body. The theory behind foot massage maintains that the ailment of an internal organ will be associated with the nerve ending on the sole of the foot. As pressure is applied to the sole, theory holds that a healthy patient should not feel any strong pain.

Massage at the Retreat is the holistic application of physical touch to affect the systems of the body; ie. the muscular, skeletal, digestive, elimination, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic, endocrine, emotional, mental and nervous systems.

It benefits in stress reduction which lends to better living in today’s world.

Step into the elegant North African trappings of culture and mythology clothed in a tapestry of healing rituals and spiritual song and allow our team of health lifestyle practitioners, medical personnel and therapists to tailor a package or series of treatments to ensure you are soon able to embrace a holistic, healthy lifestyle.

There are both day and stay over packages available. The 140 hectare Estate encompasses rivers, lakes, streams, forest and abundant bird life, a paradise just 3Smins from Sandton and Pretoria and minutes from Lanseria International airport.
