Kapchorwa Weekend Getaway

• Guided outdoor adventure
• Cultural immersion
• Nourishing meals
• Comfortable hilltop accommodation
• Time to slow down
Popular with expat families, active couples and Kampala-based travellers.

🐣 Easter Family Edition (Limited Special)
Each year around Easter, we offer a lighter family-friendly edition of our Weekend Retreat.
Instead of the full-day Mosopisiek adventure, we keep more experiences close to our hilltop Guesthouse - with extra time for nature walks, creative activities and shared celebration.
This special edition is designed especially for expat families and visitors travelling with younger children, while still offering the beauty of Mount Elgon’s landscapes and culture.
We usually reply within a few hours.
