The Madrugada Experience

Enjoy delicious and wholesome cuisine in a charming cottage accommodation, which harmonises with the environment. Benefit from the natural synergies in holistic healing and the restorative powers of nature. Rediscover the harmony of Body, Spirit and Mind - and know it is possible to restore this equilibrium ...whenever you need to...

Treat yourself to health-enhancing holistic treatments in an environment in which you are most receptive to the benefits. Get back in tune with nature on guided walks through the cool, verdant, benign forest - home to over two hundred species of birds, many of them not found anywhere else in Southern Africa, including the mystical Narina Trogon, the flamboyant, Gorgeous Bush-Shrike, the beautiful Green Twinspot, the awesome Silvery Cheeked Hornbill, the mimicking Natal Robin, the uncommon Swynnerton's Robin, the elusive Emerald Cuckoo, the magnificent Black Fronted Bush-Shrike, the rare Nyasa Seedcracker, the stunning red-faced Crimson Wing and the pretty Red-Throated Twinspot.

Watch the exotic Samango Monkeys' dance through the indigenous forest canopy, and see the shy Blue Duiker walk through the early morning mists. Drink the fresh mountain spring water; enjoy the breathtaking Bvumba scenery and invigorating mountain air. Take time to relax, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
