Yoga safari

Good evening. My lovely friend and I have booked to go on a holiday of a lifetime next year, a yoga safari in Botswana. I was so excited I handed over the deposit as to see animals in their natural habitat has always been on my bucket list.
Now I'm starting to worry, I'm worrying about the long journey (not a huge fan of flying) but also worried about something going wrong like the camp gets raided or I get some gawd awful illness. Please reassure me and tell me I'm being stupid!

Where does the yoga come in?

How can anyone guarantee that nothing will go wrong? Nobody has a crystal ball.

The yoga is each morning as part of the retreat along with other well-being activities. We are staying on a game reserve and will have four safari trips included along with a river cruise

I appreciate that no one has a crystal ball, I was merely asking for positive stories from people who have travelled to a similar destination.

It sounds brilliant, can I come with you?

We went to one of the top most luxurious game reserves and I got food poisoning.. can happen anywhere.

It sounds amazing, I would love to go!

The chances of anything serious happening are very, very small, so I'd just try not to think about it.

It really is a dream come true and is taking a lot of sacrifices! I'm sure it'll be fine, I'm such an over thinker!

Thank you, that's the sort of reassurance I need to hear x

Yes it can can't it. I'm just a natural worrier and I think my mind is going into overdrive. I had a 24 hour D&V bug this year in Spain!
