www.tia-adventures.com specialises in tailor made itineraries but sample itineraries that might interest you are described below. The beginning of November is Lamu Wellness Festival in Lamu, Kenya. You could tie in a yoga festival at the beach before traveling in for the November Shakti Womens Empowerment Yoga teacher training. If you decide to do a safari after the yoga teacher training in November you are just 3 hours away from where the gorillas live. So you will reduce the hours spent on the road traveling.
