Get to know us

Our journey began with an exploration of Rwanda's rich coffee and tea farms, surrounded by the peaceful and meditative natural environment. As we ventured into the northern, southern, and western provinces, we were captivated by the beauty of the land and the connection with nature. The experience deepened as we embarked on the breathtaking gorilla trekking in the northern provinces, and the awe-inspiring wildlife safari in the eastern province's Akagera. The profound sense of tranquillity and harmony we felt in these moments inspired us to share this experience beyond ourselves.

We are kindred spirits who shared a vision of creating a sanctuary of well-being and cultural immersion in Rwanda. Olga, with her passion for wellness and meditation, and Elizabeth, with her love for nature and exploration, came together to create ZenEscape Retreat.
