Good to know

The questions leaders ask first.

How do I book my dates?

A 30% deposit holds your dates. The balance is due 30 days before arrival. We confirm the total for your group after a short call or chat, once we know your dates and group size.

What if I need to cancel?

Cancel 60 days or more before arrival and your deposit comes back in full. Between 60 and 30 days, half of it. Within 30 days, no refund.

Can we have fire, drums and music at night?

Yes. Fire is welcome, and amplified sound ends at 21:00, out of respect for our neighbours and for the national park and its wildlife around us. After that it's acoustic, the fire, low volume, or silent-disco headsets so you can keep dancing.

My group is bigger than 16.

No problem. We add beds at our partner venue nearby. Your group still gathers, eats and holds ceremony together at Kibayo.

Let's talk about your retreat.
