Crossing Continents, Connecting Hearts: How Our Collaboration Began

A simple online connection quickly revealed how much we had in common. Two women on different continents, both building retreats that prioritise community, connection, and the grounding power of nature.

From those first conversations, it was clear we were aligned. The ideas flowed, and we knew there was an opportunity to bring our worlds together to create something unique.

Phoebe’s world is the vast, untamed beauty of Africa, where Immersion Safari Retreats offers guests an authentic African safari experience. Life here is guided by the wilderness - sunrise game drives, evenings under the stars, and unforgettable encounters with wildlife.

Hannah’s world is the rolling hills and winding footpaths of the Cotswolds, where Roam & Wonder continues to evolve from community walks to thoughtfully curated retreats. These gatherings celebrate slowing down, enjoying great food, and finding joy in the simplicity of time outdoors.

On the surface, our landscapes couldn’t be more different. But our approach is the same: creating space for people to step away from the rush of everyday life, reconnect with themselves, and find belonging through shared experiences.

Together, we’ve created a retreat that blends these strengths: the reflective, community-focused approach of Roam & Wonder with the immersive, soulful energy of an African safari retreat. It’s not just a journey, it’s a chance to share meals, enjoy meaningful conversations, and create memories under wide-open skies.

October 2026 will mark the beginning of this collaboration: two female-led businesses, connected online, working together to design something that goes far beyond a holiday.
