The conversation continues with poet and philosopher David Whyte in 2027. Co-hosted by Deborah Calmeyer, this third in a trilogy of intimate safari retreats unfolds at Segera Retreat in the foothills of Mount Kenya. Through time in the wilderness and reflective dialogue, Whyte invites guests into stillness and poetic inquiry. Here Africa’s landscapes create the space to reconnect with self and the deep recognition that our inner lives are inseparable from the places we move through.
Wild Heart Clear Mind: an Invitation from Deborah Calmeyer
March 14, 2026

The journey you experienced before to Africa was only one chapter. Each time you return, the continent reveals something new: the Serengeti during the migration, Cape Town in autumn, the power of Victoria Falls. Places you thought you knew shift with season and perspective. Your first journey was an introduction; the next is a reacquaintance with a continent that doesn’t reveal itself all at once.

Join us on The Greatest Safari on Earth, 2027. This exquisite journey explores four of Africa’s iconic wildlife destinations - Zimbabwe, Botswana, Kenya and Rwanda - across 12 days in unbridled luxury aboard the A319 Emirates Executive Private Jet. Led by our hand-picked guides, there is no trip in the world like this one!

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.
