Right On
Time Retreat
A little soul-searching. A lot of living.
Right On Time is not your typical retreat.
This is an adventure, a reset and a chance to step completely outside your everyday life, and into something bigger.
Think wild places, big experiences, belly laughs, deep conversations, ridiculous dancing, quiet moments, unexpected tears, movement, music and new friendships.
There’s space to reflect and reconnect, but no pressure to be serious, silent or “work on yourself” every minute of the day.
Come to loosen up. Get out of your head. Feel more. Laugh more. Move more. Connect more.
5 nights, 6 days in the wild

Meet your hostsAngela & Ashleigh
Angela Waddell
Yoga Teacher · DiSC® Accredited · Leadership NavigatorBorn and raised in Zimbabwe, Angela brings together a unique blend of global experience, leadership expertise, and mindful practice. Having lived in Zimbabwe, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand, she understands both the excitement and uncertainty that come with life's transitions.
A mother of two, Angela has practised yoga for more than 15 years and taught since 2018, trained in Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin Yoga, breathwork and meditation. Alongside teaching, she is a leadership coach and facilitator working with businesses across New Zealand.
She is honoured to welcome you to Zimbabwe, a place that has shaped so much of who she is.
Ashleigh Burness
Founder, Zymmie | Coach & People Culture ConsultantBorn and raised in Zimbabwe, Ashleigh's journey has taken her across the world, from Scotland, London and New Zealand to Australia and New York. After building a successful career in leadership and consulting, including with BCG, she found herself questioning the timelines so many women quietly feel pressured to follow.
Today, as the Founder of Zymmie, Ashleigh works as a coach, facilitator and People consultant, helping people reconnect with who they are, navigate life's transitions with greater confidence, and create lives that feel deeply aligned with who they have become.
Returning to Zimbabwe to co-host Right on Time is especially meaningful. It's an opportunity to share the beauty, warmth and magic of the country that shaped her.
OUR STORY
Whose timeline am I living by? What actually matters to me? How do I create a life that feels like my own?
We grew up minutes from one another in Zimbabwe, later lived together in London, and found our way to New Zealand around the same time. Like many women, our paths looked successful from the outside, yet beneath the achievements, we kept asking the same questions. Those conversations became the foundation of Right on Time Retreat.
We created this retreat because we believe every woman deserves the chance to step away from the noise, reconnect with herself, and remember there is no universal timeline for how life should unfold. Returning to Zimbabwe to host this experience feels like coming full circle.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
This retreat is designed for women who are craving space to pause, reconnect, and reflect.
Some guests may be navigating a significant life or career transition, while others may simply feel ready for a reset away from the demands of everyday life.
You might be:
Questioning what's next in your career or business
Recovering from a busy or demanding season
Navigating a personal change or transition
Seeking greater clarity, balance, or direction
Feeling disconnected from yourself beneath the roles and responsibilities you carry
Looking for space to think, breathe, and gain perspective
Craving meaningful connection with like-minded women
Simply feeling called to take time for yourself
You do not need to be in crisis, burned out, or at a major crossroads to benefit from this experience.
-
While each day will vary, you can expect a blend of:
Morning movement or yoga
Reflection and journaling
Wildlife experiences and conservation activities
Shared meals
Personal integration time
Sunset experiences in nature
Our intention is to balance meaningful growth with rest, adventure, and spaciousness.
-
That does not matter.
The retreat is designed to be accessible to women regardless of prior experience.
Whether this is your first retreat or your tenth, you will be supported throughout the experience.
-
Absolutely no experience needed! Whether you've been practising yoga for years, are completely new to it, or somewhere in between, you're welcome exactly as you are.
My approach to yoga is simple: your body, your practice, your choice.
There's no judgement, no pressure and definitely no expectation of perfect poses. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all alignment because every body is beautifully different. You know your body better than anyone else, and my role is to guide and encourage you to explore what feels right for you.
There are no hands-on adjustments, and you're always encouraged to listen to your body, take breaks, modify movements or simply rest. If you want to spend the entire session in child's pose, that's absolutely fine too!
Our sessions will vary, from slow, gentle and restorative practices to a blend of Hatha, Vinyasa and more dynamic flows. Every session begins with grounding and finishes with a restful Savasana, giving you space to reconnect with yourself.
This is a come-as-you-are, judgement-free space. There's nothing to prove, nothing to perfect and no one to keep up with. Just an invitation to move, breathe and be present in whatever way feels good for you.
-
Not at all! Everything at Right on Time is an invitation, never an obligation.
This is your retreat, your time and your experience. While we'd love you to join us on the mat, there's absolutely no pressure to participate in every session (or any session, for that matter!).
If your body is calling for a sleep-in, a quiet cup of tea, some time in nature or simply doing nothing at all, we encourage you to honour that.
The whole point is to slow down, reconnect and do what feels right for you. No guilt, no judgement, no expectations. Just space to be.
-
Yes, in fact we suggest this is the ideal way to retreat. It is an opportunity to nurture your self and have the space to think and contemplate without consideration of friends or partners.If you travel alone you will be well taken care of and will have the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals if you wish.
-
Absolutely. We’ve purposefully designed the retreat to have a balance of meaningful sessions, connection and plenty of space to simply enjoy being there.
This is a social, fun and relaxed retreat, not a strict schedule or a week of back-to-back workshops. There will be plenty of free time to explore, relax, enjoy the surroundings, have sunset drinks, connect with the other guests or simply do your own thing.
You’re encouraged to be yourself, follow your own rhythm and make the retreat your own. Some of the best moments may happen in the spaces between the sessions.
-
Not much at all! Simply arrive with an open mind, a little curiosity and a willingness to enjoy the experience.
We'll provide everything you need for our yoga sessions, including yoga mats, so there's no need to bring your own. We'll also send you a helpful packing list and all the practical information you need before you travel.
An optional opportunity for a little self-discovery
As part of your retreat experience, we're offering every guest the opportunity to complete a complimentary DISC behavioural profile.
DISC is a simple self-awareness tool that offers insights into your natural behavioural preferences, communication style and strengths, and how you tend to interact with others.
If you'd like to participate, we'll send you a short online assessment to complete before the retreat. Your results will then be available for you to explore with Angela, our retreat coach, during your time at Imire.
It's completely optional, with no expectation to participate or share your results with anyone else. Just another opportunity to learn a little more about yourself, if that feels right for you.
Other than that, there's no homework, no preparation and nothing to prove. Just come as you are.
-
Yes. Zimbabwe is a welcoming and beautiful country that is home to some of Africa's most breathtaking landscapes, wildlife and hospitality.
While, like any destination, it's important to travel with awareness, our retreat has been thoughtfully designed with your comfort and safety in mind.

Visa requirements for Zimbabwe depend on your nationality and the passport you're travelling on.
Many international visitors, including those travelling on Australian, New Zealand, UK and US passports, can generally obtain a tourist visa on arrival in Zimbabwe. Other nationalities may need to apply for a visa before travelling.
We recommend checking the latest entry requirements well in advance of your trip, as visa rules, fees and eligibility can change.
You can find official information about visa requirements, eligible nationalities and application processes on the Zimbabwe Department of Immigration website.
If you need to arrange a visa in advance, Zimbabwe also offers an official online eVisa application process for eligible travellers.
A little travel tip: Make sure your passport has at least six months' validity remaining when you enter Zimbabwe, and check any additional entry requirements before departure.
Visa arrangements and associated costs are the responsibility of each guest, but we're always happy to help point you in the right direction if you're unsure where to start.
Once you book your place on the retreat, we'll provide you with all the information you need, including guidance on visa requirements, entry procedures and the documents you'll need before you travel.
-
Yes. Comprehensive travel insurance is compulsory for all guests attending Right On Time Retreat. Your place on the retreat is confirmed only once we have received proof of a valid policy.
Your policy must be in place from the date you pay your deposit and cover you for the full duration of your travel. Please send a copy of your policy certificate to hello@zymmie.com before your final balance is due on 29 August 2027.
Your retreat booking is non-refundable and non-transferable, so we strongly recommend arranging cover as soon as you book.
Your policy must include:
Cancellation fees and lost deposits
Medical expenses for accidental injury, sickness and hospitalisation
Emergency medical evacuation
Luggage and personal effects
Travel delay and alternative transport expenses
Personal liability
Please read the product disclosure statement carefully to make sure your policy suits your needs and covers the activities included in the retreat, such as safari and wildlife experiences, bush walks and hikes, and horse riding if you choose to add it.
Right On Time Retreat, Zymmie and Imire Safari Lodge are not responsible or liable for any costs associated with changes to your travel arrangements, illness, injury or loss.
-
Yes! We've got your transport to and from Imire covered, with return group transfers from a designated meeting point in Harare included in your retreat price.
We know everyone will be arriving in Zimbabwe at different times. Some of you may choose to arrive a few days early to recover from jet lag or explore Harare, while others may arrive on the day the retreat begins.
To keep things simple and flexible, we'll arrange a central, easily accessible meeting point in Harare, where we'll all gather before travelling together to Imire.
The exact meeting location and departure time will be confirmed well in advance, so you'll have plenty of time to plan your arrival.
At the end of the retreat, we'll arrange transport back to the designated drop-off point in Harare.
What about transfers from the airport?
Airport transfers are not included in the retreat price, so you'll need to make your own arrangements to get from Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport to your accommodation or our designated meeting point.
For getting around Harare, there are a couple of app-based ride services, similar to Uber, that you may find helpful:
inDrive – An international ride-hailing app operating in Zimbabwe, allowing you to request rides and agree on fares.
Tap and Go – A Zimbabwean ride-hailing service offering app-based transport around Harare.
We recommend arranging your airport transport in advance where possible, particularly if you're arriving late at night, and checking availability directly with your chosen provider.
Our aim is to make getting to Imire as easy as possible, while giving you the freedom to plan your arrival and departure around your own travel itinerary.
-
We can assist with a variety of dietary needs. We will capture your dietary requirements at time of booking so we can be sure to accommodate any special request.
-
Zimbabwe has more than 300 days of sunshine a year and Imire is located at a pleasant altitude away from the stifling heat of the low veld areas. The end of September and early October in Zimbabwe falls during the hot, dry season (often locally referred to as spring or the tail-end of the broader winter dry season)
-
What is the retreat likely to cost me?
Our five-night Right on Time Retreat experience starts from AUD $5,130 per person, with the final price depending on your accommodation choice.
We've designed the retreat to be as inclusive and seamless as possible, so once you arrive on Imire, most of the experience is taken care of.

Five nights' accommodation at Imire Rhino & Wildlife Conservancy
All meals and selected refreshments throughout the retreat
Daily yoga and wellness experiences
Guided safari and wildlife conservation experiences
Retreat activities, workshops and facilitated sessions

What will I need to budget for separately?
There are a few additional costs to factor into your overall travel budget:
International flights: Return flights to Harare, Zimbabwe, from your departure destination.
Travel insurance: You'll need comprehensive travel insurance appropriate for your trip and planned activities.
Visas: Depending on your passport, you may need a visa to enter Zimbabwe.
Tips and gratuities: For lodge staff, guides and other service providers, at your discretion.
Personal spending: Any souvenirs, personal purchases or additional expenses.
Optional experiences: Certain activities, such as horse riding, may be available at an additional cost and are subject to availability.
Extended travel: If you choose to explore more of Zimbabwe or Africa before or after the retreat, these arrangements and costs are separate.
Can I pay in instalments?
We understand that this is a significant investment, particularly if you're travelling internationally. Payment options and schedules will be clearly outlined when booking, but dont hesitate to enquire if you have a question regarding this.
Our commitment to you
We want you to feel informed and confident about your decision to join us. Our aim is to make the experience as easy and enjoyable as possible, with clear pricing, no unexpected retreat charges and plenty of information to help you plan your journey.
After all, this is your time to step away from the everyday, reconnect and experience something truly special.
