Immersive farm life 🌾
At our farm, every moment is an opportunity to connect with nature, immerse yourself in Rwanda’s rich culture, learn sustainable farming practices from our experts, and create unforgettable memories. We welcome children and are happy to provide a variety of fun and safe experiences designed for young explorers including traditional games and interactions with the animals.
The farm is planted using permaculture principles. Cows, goats, rabbits, and chickens ensure a healthy and productive soil.
Fruit and nut trees, vegetables, herbs, and flowering plants are densely inter-cropped for a harmonious ecosystem. Our own bees provide us with honey
