Tour operators
If you run regular routes through this part of Uganda, a stop here can be an evening and a morning rather than a stop-and-go. Tell us the window you are working to and we will say plainly whether it fits.
For tour operators and retreat leaders
Ba Lubaale is a private sanctuary on the lake. It can host a group that arrives together — a tour company with a fixed window, a retreat house with a season of silence, a school coming to learn where they sit. The shape is set in conversation, not by a package.
What a group visit looks like
A group here is not a conference with beds attached. It is a household that has to work: the boat runs when the water is right, the garden is tended, the meals are cooked, and everyone who comes shares that work according to what they can carry.
We plan the days together before anyone travels. That conversation covers the window you have, the shape of your group, what you want people to leave with, and what you are willing to be part of while they are here.
Who this is for
Retreat houses and facilitators
Silence, practice and structure over consecutive days, with the same people in the same place from waking to sleep. Facilitators are welcome to hold their own sessions; the rest of the day belongs to the land and the household.
Schools and study groups
Students who are learning about the lake, the soil and the boat can learn them from the inside. Group enquiry only — we will not take a class large enough to disturb the house.
Planning a group visit
Write to us about your group
Tell us who you are, roughly how many people you have in mind, the window you are considering, and what you want the days to do.
This form does not book anything and asks for no payment. We read every enquiry and reply by email with an honest answer — including when the answer is that it will not work.
Before you write
If your dates are fixed and your group is large, write early: it is better to have a clear no than a hopeful maybe.
