Power Of The Mountain Retreat

Invites you to our first five-night Hideout in Kenya. A carefully curated experience set in the boutique haven of Mukima Manor in Laikipia, created for deep rest and renewal.

Tuesday 22nd - Sunday 27th September 2026

At the foot of Mount Kenya, something powerful awaits.

This intimate five-night retreat blends daily yoga, meditation, and creative practice with the wild beauty of Kenya’s northern highlands. Move with intention each morning, breathe in mountain air, and allow deep rest to unfold in a landscape that invites both strength and stillness.

Stay at the elegant Mukima Manor, a boutique sanctuary overlooking our mother mountain; Mt Kenya. With optional safari adventures woven into your stay, you’ll journey from mat to wilderness; grounding your body while exploring untamed landscapes.

An experience designed to awaken your inner power and stay with you long after you leave.

From noon Tuesday to 10am Sunday, immerse yourself in a journey guided by Goldie, blending yoga, creativity, and mindful exploration in the embrace of nature.

About Mukima Manor

Built in the 1930s by Colonel Thomas G. “Chippy” Lewin, Mukima Manor began as a cedar home on the slopes of Mount Kenya. Decades later, it was lovingly restored by environmentalist Leslie Duckworth, who revived its structure, rewilded the land, and planted thousands of trees.

Today, under the care of Leslie’s daughter, Anna and Shawn Campbell, Mukima has evolved into a boutique hotel where wildlife, wellness, and meaningful travel meet. Together with their coastal sister property, The Cabanas Lamu, they offer a seamless bush-to-beach experience - from Laikipia to Lamu.

Why not adventure further and stay at Mukima Manor’s sister property at The Cabanas in Lamu after your retreat…

Embrace more wellness by continuing your yoga practise, explore exciting watersports, or simply stroll along the white sand beaches of Lamu.

As a special extension of your stay, The Cabanas will offer a 15% discount when you book direct with them, making it the perfect opportunity to unwind a little longer in paradise.
