International Women’s Day Hosted Journey
4 – 11 March 2027
8 Days / 7 Nights
Mary Poorteman
per person · includes comprehensive travel insurance · subject to availability
This is not a women’s retreat. It is a genuine cultural exchange — between South African women and the women of Dakar, Senegal, designed around connection, creativity, cuisine, and celebration.
Hosted personally by Mary Poorteman, the journey culminates on International Women’s Day, 8 March 2027, with a cultural exchange alongside local Senegalese women’s groups. Everything before it — Gorée Island, the art galleries, the dance session, the home cooking experience — builds toward that moment.
Staying in a private five-star villa with a private chef and chauffeur throughout, this is intimacy at its most considered. Seven nights. Eight women. A country that will stay with you.
