Narudi Yoga Retreat

19–23 November 2026 · Kilima Gardens, Nanyuki

Return to self. A five-day retreat for mind and body, where wellness meets wildlife.

Narudi, the Kiswahili word for "return," is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, reconnect with what truly matters and return to the version of yourself that exists beneath the noise of everyday life.

Guided by yoga, meditation, mindful movement, journalling and the beauty of Kenya's wild landscapes, Narudi is a journey home, back to yourself.

Escape the pace of everyday life and immerse yourself in five days of movement, mindfulness and meaningful connection in the heart of Kenya.

Wild Kenya

Kilima Gardens sits near Nanyuki, at the foot of Mount Kenya, one of Kenya's richest wildlife regions. Nearby, Ol Pejeta Conservancy is home to the world's last two northern white rhinos, and Solio Game Reserve protects one of the country's most significant black rhino populations. Both are woven gently into the retreat's rhythm, without ever crowding its stillness.

Flo Schepers, founder of Weaver Trails

Flo Schepers

Flo grew up in Kenya, and its wild places have always felt like home to her, a place she now can't wait to share with others. Before founding Weaver Trails, she spent five years in impact investing, working across venture capital and private equity to back businesses built on more than just profit, and went on to found three companies of her own in ethical fashion and photography. That same instinct for something more intentional shapes every detail of Narudi. Flo takes care of the whole journey, so all you have to do is arrive.

You don't need another holiday. You need space to breathe again.

Spaces are limited and kept intentionally small. Send us a note and we will answer any questions you have.
