What our guests are saying
I’ve always thought of myself as a solo traveler. It’s my first time joining an organized group trip. It has been something I wanted to try once only but I very much appreciate my freedom in traveling and exploring.
I can’t put into words just how perfect this experience has been for me. How positive but also so real and genuine the vibes were. How welcoming clemence and Claire are, and how perfect Cape Town is. I fell in love with everything I’ve seen, touched, tasted.
I’m already signed up for the next one (Bali) and I would go repeat the cape town retreat all over again in a heartbeat. Maybe I’m no longer the “solo traveler” I thought I was 🙂
This is my second Nosso Jeito retreat with the amazing Clém and Claire, each retreat a true pleasure experience filled with excitement, laughter, new adventures and experiences, like the ice plunge which was a good challenge but was worth it.
The choice of food was superb both yummy and nourishing, the vila was incredible and captured the essence of each person in the retreat. I had the pleasure of meeting new people and seeing old ones, each individual person brought their unique self to create a community filled with love, joy and support.
I couldn’t have asked for any better retreat at my beloved CPT.
Had an unforgettable vacation in Cape Town!
I came on this trip without knowing anyone, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions—I met the most amazing people with incredible personalities and so much fun. My most memorable moments were standing up on a surfboard for the first time and witnessing an extraordinary sunset from the top of Lion’s Head Mountain.
I also tried no-gi jiu-jitsu for the first time, and it was surprisingly accessible and not as intimidating as I expected. The villa we stayed in was incredible—super comfortable and welcoming. The daily fresh food was absolutely delicious, and every meal was a treat. If you’re looking to reconnect with yourself and nature, I highly recommend this trip. The only tough part? The cold morning baths, but they definitely helped clear my mind!
My first trip with Nosso Jeito was last year to Cape Town. First and foremost, I was really impressed with the service quality.
Clem & Claire chose a beautiful villa that overlooked the beach. I still can’t forget watching the sunset and lightning simultaneously. I even got to enjoy nourishing bowls and juices that were catered to me every day. I had nothing to worry about or plan as transportation and activities were fully covered since arrival.
The team was super friendly, and I made a lot of friends. We quickly bonded over our shared passion for BJJ, surf and so much more.
It was an unforgettable trip! 🦋💙✨
This was my first Nosso Jeito retreat, but not my first rodeo with these two beautiful humans. I’ve been friends with Claire and Clem for a few years, so I will be rightfully biased in my testimonial.
Since the minute I landed in cape town or as we called it Clem-Town, I could feel the fresh air and positive energy, this feeling only got better throughout the retreat. Between morning cold plunges, nasty jiujitsu heel hook techniques and peaceful walks in town, we shared a good laughs, nice meals and fun times.
My favorite moment was coming down of the Lions Head hike during sunset, I will never forget my feeling of jumping from one rock to the other, I felt like I was a kid again, no fears, no worries and just pure joy. As a person who is hesitant with heights, I felt so safe around Claire and Clem. The magical and colorful sunset, the view and the company was incredible.
The stay at the villa was luxurious. The kitchen holding a big dining table brought the whole group together every morning and every night. We shared laughs, excitement and personal stories around the table.
The meals offered every day were healthy and nourishing, especially the detoxing juice – it did its job well lol-. As a big foodie, I enjoyed the variety of foods we were exposed to on our many market visits.
When it came to organization, we were given a schedule on the first day. Not only was the schedule respected, but it was cleverly planned, we did many many activities each day, but we never felt drained, tired or overwhelmed. Even on the days where the weather betrayed us, Clem and Claire had back-up activities planned for us. All we had to do was lay back and enjoy!!
The leadership was amazing! It was fun, encouraging and always positive while keeping it real! They both brought good vibes to our group, never felt pressured to do anything or be anywhere.
Will not forget to mention Ebee, Yaqoub and Lee; friends of Nosso Jeito who were always there to help, motivate, calm a nervous person down and kindly offered to drive us around town. They brought good vibes to the group!!
Throughout the retreat, the whole group kept saying, “ I wish this was my life” and this is what Nosso Jeito is.
If you don’t feel fomo, you should, because Clem and Claire are people you want in your life!!
Thank you sooo much for everything. Best trip ever.
Your hard work is evident and we can feel how much you care about every single detail. ♥️🌺 truly thank you and will definitely see you ♥️♥️
It was my absolute pleasure to be part of the first retreat with Nosso Jeito in Cape Town, 2023.
A perfect choice, abundant with nature everywhere you turned; the villa was incredible – complete with a breathtaking view of the ocean.
Nutrition was top quality with plenty of options. Activities were fun and qualitative, and all transport was covered safely.
We were lucky to have local companions for a raw experience in addition to some tourist attractions.
Claire & Clem truly practiced what they preached. ✨
Keep well. X
This is my second trip with these amazing ladies and it will not be my last.
It was an absolute blast rediscovering Cape Town through their eyes. I loved every second of it with all its challenges.
Every detail was well thought out of from the nutritious food to the cozy accommodation and of course the amazing excursions.
HIGHLY recommend booking with them if you’re looking for a fun challenge and positive experience.
This was my first Nosso Jeito retreat & definitely going to be one of MANY. This trip was truly one of the best ways to experience Cape Town – everyday was an incredibly intimate experience; immersing in nature (the sky, the ocean, the animals, the mountains, and other whole-hearted humans; Clem & Claire made sure we didn’t miss a thing)
The food was nourishing, fresh & colorful – just like this whole trip! The villa was our cozy haven – with a dream kitchen & view.
We challenged ourselves in Jiujitsu & Surfing & Cold Plunges (let’s not forget the dancing), made new friends, re-connected with old ones, and bought an extra suitcase to pack all the laughs & memories.
I came back home energized and with an appetite for life (& Cape Town blues) – if you’re looking for adventure, connection & pure magic – THIS IS IT
Salut Clémence

The food was so nourishing and delicious 🤤 still thinking about those yummy protein balls and it was specially made to accommodate my food sensitivities . The BJJ community at academy are sooo welcoming and keen to share their knowledge with us in a way that made it super fun and not intimidating at all 🫶🏽 while gently folding you ofc 😂🤍.

Clem & Claire are the best hosts and they embody everything nosso jeito is about so PREACHHHHH. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
