African Bush is the Backdrop Dr. Jonathan Ellerby's Spiritual Rejuvenation Safari

CHARLESTON, SC, September 20, 2010 (Press-News.org) Dr. Jonathan Ellerby, the Spiritual Program Director for the acclaimed Canyon Ranch Health Resorts and an esteemed expert of holistic healing, spiritual counseling, and integrative medicine, will host a 14-day Awakening Inspiration Safari through South Africa. The group safari is hosted by Hills of Africa Travel in conjunction with Want to go Travel and is designed for anyone with a desire to awaken their passion for life and rejuvenate their mind, body, and spirit.

"I will work directly with the participants in group teaching and meditation sessions held against one of the world's most spectacular backdrops—the South African Bush," says Ellerby, adding "This trip is going to be intimate and life-changing."

When not studying with Ellerby, participants will discover the people, land, and wildlife of Africa. Some of the best and most knowledgeable African guides have been recruited to escort participants in leisure enjoy activities such as tours of the Capewinelands, game viewing drives, and dining with locals.

Awakening Inspiration Safari begins with five nights at the waterside, five-star Cape Grace hotel in Cape Town, South Africa. From luxurious suites to gourmet restaurants, from a rooftop bar to a pool overlooking the international yacht marina, Cape Grace features every imaginable amenity.

Cape Grace is one of a few select proprieties in South Africa to display the Fair Trade label. Fair Trade businesses proactively uplift the local community and preserves natural resources through practices such as hiring staff only from the immediate local villages, and providing employees with fair wages, safe working conditions, and useful training. By patronizing Cape Grace, Awakening Inspiration Safari participants are positively impacting the South African people and wildlife.

The final seven nights are spent at the Madike Safari Lodge located on the Madike Game Reserve. Located on the ecological transition point from the Savannah to the Kalahari Desert, Madike Game Reserve has abundant wildlife, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo, and elephant). Participants can relax in between teaching sessions in their well-appointed suites, each of which features a personal plunge pool, circular fireplace, and a private bathroom with a choice of indoor or outdoor shower.

Ellerby summarizes, "At the end of 14 days, participants will be culturally enriched and spiritually inspired to live a life they love."
