One country that many contemplate but few get to is Namibia. It’s a place that literally feels like there is too much air to breathe, but without the design and delivery by an expert, could prove heinously hard when really it should – and can – flow with ease and elegance. A journey to Namibia is for those who value the art of space over speed, insight over spectacle... the true art of ease.

Co-hosted by ROAR AFRICA Founder and CEO Deborah Calmeyer and UC Berkeley psychologist and best-selling author Professor Dacher Keltner, this singular journey invites you to explore awe not only as an emotion, but as a path to transformation, healing and connection.

Eleven generations on this continent have taught us that true understanding doesn’t come from passing through. It comes from presence. From quiet. From respect. At ROAR AFRICA, we don’t sell trips, we share the places we know by heart. Every detail is considered, every camp honors the land and every experience is crafted to give more than it takes. This is not just travel. It’s heritage. It’s home.

Our inaugural Women’s Empowerment Retreat saw Pat Mitchell (ROAR AFRICA Board member and creator of TEDWomen) and Deborah Calmeyer host a very special group of influential women along with an all-female team of pilots, trackers, guides, anti-poachers, chefs, hospitality leaders and conservationists.
