Meet Krista
Krista believes that being healthy doesn't have to be hard. As founder of Pareto Wellness, she has spent over thirty years helping people figure out what their healthy lifestyle actually looks like and then finding the simplest, most sustainable ways to live it. Her approach is deeply personal. Every guest leaves a session with Krista feeling not lectured, but genuinely seen. She works across nutrition, movement, mindset, and lifestyle, creating completely personalised action plans built around your goals, your body, and your life.
"At my retreats, I want each guest to learn one thing that'll help shape their future forever."
The Pathway Companion
Every guest receives The Pathway Companion — a beautifully designed creative wellness journal, exclusive to Pathway Partners retreats. It is part reflection book, part creative workbook, part keepsake. And it will be waiting on your pillow when you arrive. The Companion doesn't ask you to be an artist. It simply gives you a creative invitation at each moment of the retreat, a prompt, a page, a space - to help you process what you're experiencing in a way that goes deeper than words alone. By the final morning, you leave with a deeply personal record of your eight days, something beautiful, entirely your own, and impossible to replicate.
Everything You Need to Know
Eight days at Manyoni. Here's exactly what that looks like, what's included, and how to secure your place.
-
Each day moves to the rhythm of the reserve.
Morning and evening game drives — wake to the African bush before the heat of the day, and end with the light going gold. Something ancient and alive to ground you.
Yoga and movement — daily chair yoga and laughter yoga with Krista, plus aquafit on selected mornings, weather permitting.
Nourishment sessions — healthy dessert cooking classes and mindful eating workshops, all through the lens of living well.
Evening campfire circles — nightly wellness circles around the fire, closing with meditation.
Signature experiences — an elephant connection, a Zulu dance performance, and an intimate wine tasting.
No experience needed. Just an open heart.
-
Creativity here is not about talent or performance.
It's about slowing down. Noticing. Expressing. Reconnecting, and creating space to feel present again.
Throughout the week, guests are gently guided through creative experiences designed to support mindfulness and emotional wellbeing — through observation and curiosity rather than pressure or perfection.

Where You’ll Be Staying
Zebra Hills - Manyoni Private Game Reserve, Hluhluwe, KwaZulu-Natal
Manyoni Private Game Reserve spans 23,000 hectares of KwaZulu-Natal wilderness and is home to the Big Five, over 400 species of bird, and some of the most paintable landscapes in South Africa. It's remote enough to feel like another world. It's comfortable enough that you won't want to leave.
This is where Pathway Partners hosts all its artist retreats, chosen deliberately for its scale, its wildlife density, and the quality of light that artists keep coming back for.
