Retreat With Us
In a world where we're constantly connected yet perpetually detached, finding true peace has become a rarity. At Backyard Ventures, we provide a wellness focused sanctuary for individuals and groups to recharge, and reflect. Our location in the serene woodlands of Arusha, Tanzania, offers more than just a venue; we invite guests to recalibrate and rediscover what truly matters.
Our retreats often cater to individual creativity, exploration, and rest, creating a much-needed escape from the noise of everyday life. With each experience crafted to promote healing and growth, participants can choose from a day of introspection or an elaborate weekend getaway with us. Retreats are essential for nurturing well-being, as they provide a rare opportunity to pause, reflect, and realign with your inner self.

The retreat was nothing short of fantastic. Logistics were super smooth and the experience was amazing. From morning yoga and meditation, to sunsets with cocktails, to seeing the amazing wildlife at Mkomazi national park, the entire experience was unforgettable.

Natalie organised a retreat in Kilwa which was a daydream. I love the vibe of her events and the vibe during that trip, so I would recommend anything she organizes. She has this aura that is freeing and inviting and she always nails the things she hosts so you're guaranteed to have fun.

The Hideaway Retreat was exactly what it sounds like. It was a perfect getaway in the bush to get a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday city life. The location and activities curated, encouraged exploration and was a safe space to break out of my comfort zone.

The retreat in Kilwa was everything my mind, body and soul needed. I I appreciate how everything was intentional and well organized by Natalie and her team providing an opportunity to recenter, recharge and reconnect with myself and others. I felt well nourished after each meal—not only by the food—but also by conversations around the table.
