Welcome to Sawubona Retreat Centre, strategically located just 8 km from the bustling heart of Harare City Center.
 What began as a vision transformed into the most serene corner of our home in Mandara, Harare.
For years, Dr. Tererai Trent and her team nurtured the dream of a retreat, a healing space that was not just beautiful, but intentional.
A sanctuary where guests could pause, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Bringing this vision to life was no easy feat. Through many setbacks, it required immense effort, creativity, resourcefulness, and perseverance.
There were moments when holding onto the vision became spiritual. Every aspect, from the yard work to the landscaping, the construction of each deck, treehouse, the earthy-designed gazebos, and the craftsmanship of the lovers’ swing sets, demanded precision. Each plant, flower, stone, and detail was carefully considered.
Today, we proudly present the Sawubona Retreat Center—with its exquisite gardens, blooming flowers, and tranquil stillness. It represents more than just a space.
It embodies heart, resilience, and a dream realized.
