Namibië retreat

Upcoming journeys:

March 29    -  April 11 2026

Oktober 25 -  Nov 7 2026 

The Nobody Safari 

For 14 days, we drive our own 4x4s with rooftop tents across Namibia’s endless horizons, sharing the adventure with a small circle of fellow travelers.

At the same time, we journey inward: stripping away roles, burdens and noise. Through daily reflections, simple practices and guided encounters with one of the roughest landscapes on earth and its incredible wildlife.  

In the Nobody Safari, you are invited to rediscover who you are, before the world told you who to be. And celebrate it!

The most dazzling starry skies.

Endless horizons.
The world’s oldest desert.

Magical wildlife of which

we are only humble visitors.
The silence. Namibia.

Forget being somebody.

Forget performing.

Forget becoming a “better” or

“different” version of yourself.

 

Become a Nobody.

This is the land where I once

lived

And where pieces

of my soul are still buried

in the ancient sand.

 


Raw. Wild. Free.

Back to basic.

Back to life's essence.

 

Raw.
Wild.
Free.

Your Wild Life Guide

Meet Fré

Founder of Staging the Good, Fre is your Wild Life Guide on the Nobody Safari. Fre lived and worked in Namibia for years — as a theatre maker and teacher, and as a guide for camping journeys across the country. She knows the rugged land by heart: from the silence of Sossusvlei to the wildlife of Etosha.

With over 25 years of experience as a coach and trainer, Fre brings a style that is humorous, energetic and light when needed, and deep, relaxed yet razor-sharp when it matters. She now combines her two passions: guiding people into their inner landscape, and into the wild landscapes of Southern Africa.

Your Feel Good Guide

Meet Anna

Anna is the heart of care and delight on the Nobody Safari. She also lived in Namibia, where she and Fre first met in the 1990s. Ever since, she has returned again and again, bringing her love for the country — and her legendary skills in preparing a braai or a potjie stew under the stars.

Anna’s style is warm, practical and full of joy. She has a gift for making people feel at ease, creating moments of comfort and delight in the middle of the wilderness. With her, you are not only looked after — you are lovingly spoiled.

Nobody Safari | The Journey

The Outer Journey - Namibia’s Wild Beauty

Nobody Safari takes you deep into Namibia – one of the most breathtaking landscapes on earth. Vast deserts, endless skies, wild animals at the waterholes, and nights under a Milky Way so bright you’ll never forget it. Here are some of the highlights along the way:

The inner journey - Your transformation

The Nobody Safari is not just about where we travel. It’s about who you become along the way.
This is a 14-day journey of slowing down, letting go, and reconnecting. The landscape is your mirror; the desert your teacher.

At key moments, we will help you turn the journey inward, so you don’t just go home rested, but reset, realigned & reenergized.

What the Nobody Safari can give you:

  • Clarity about the roles you play and which ones no longer fit
     

  • The experience of being Nobody: free, grounded & fully present
     

  • Fresh energy, creativity, joy and renewed direction 
     

  • A deep sense of connection: to others, the world around you and last but not least: yourself.

It’s not about adding more.

It’s about stripping back, creating space, and allowing life

to freely move through you again.
