Wild Fit Free is an immersive luxury African experience — a carefully curated seven-night journey designed to energise your body, elevate your game, and awaken your sense of adventure. Every detail is taken care of, from luxury accommodation and private-chef dining to once-in-a-lifetime adventures and, of course, your favourite pickleball experience.

Where pickleball meets the wild heart of Africa. Built for people who love the energy, connection and excitement of the game — whether experienced or simply passionate — WFF combines structured sessions, social play, coaching and friendly mini-tournaments, all against one of the most spectacular backdrops in the world. Guests are grouped by level so every session is both challenging and fun. Play takes place at two Plett venues: the main courts at Down to Earth Restaurant on the lagoon, and alternative indoor courts for rainy days. Our pickleball expert, Ismail “Schuster”, President of Pickleball South Africa, enhances your play with Neuro Active Learning — because pickleball relies on far more than fitness: balance, reaction speed, decision-making, coordination and confidence.

Get your cameras ready — four wildlife encounters across the retreat. Your journey opens in the African bush at the Garden Route Big 5 Game Reserve, with a game drive among free-roaming giraffe, rhino, lion, elephant, cheetah and herds of zebra, wildebeest, springbok, eland, impala and other antelope. Visit the Elephant Sanctuary, where you can touch, interact and even walk trunk-in-hand with these gentle giants. A personalised safari at the Plettenberg Bay Game Reserve, with experienced guides sharing the story of the animals and the ecosystem. And Birds of Eden — the world’s largest free-flight dome, spanning a gorge of indigenous forest, home to over 3,500 birds from more than 220 species.

Kayak and lilo through the ancient Storms River gorge in Tsitsikamma National Park — float and paddle beneath towering cliffs and lush indigenous forest on a truly unforgettable journey. Discover authentic sailing on a luxury yacht, gliding across the tranquil Knysna Lagoon, through the spectacular Knysna Heads and out into the open Indian Ocean, spotting dolphins, seals, birds and even whales in season. Swim with the playful Cape fur seals of the Robberg colony. And hike the Robberg Nature Reserve, a World Heritage Site, with inspiring landscapes and marine life all around.

Stay in Sangaree, a spectacular five-star beachfront villa dedicated entirely to our guests: a separate pavilion by the pool for entertaining and dining, a 25-metre pool, spacious ocean-view living areas, en-suite luxury bedrooms, a fully equipped gym, and private-chef services — just a few minutes’ walk from the beach. Every meal is prepared fresh; soft drinks, local beers, wines, coffee and teas flow freely at the villa. Unlike a hotel, you enjoy exclusive privacy and tailored group dining, and never share amenities with strangers.

Sunrise beach walks along the Plettenberg Bay shoreline, restorative down-time by the pool, and evenings of shared meals and genuine connection with like-minded people from around the world.
Five-star beachfront property, two minutes from the beach.
Gym: dumbbells, rowing machine, bench press, cycling & step machines, trampoline, training ropes and balls.
Security: electric perimeter fencing, external security beams and controlled access — a secure, peaceful environment throughout.
