GROUPS & EVENTS
The perfect hideaway for togetherness with friends, loved ones, and colleagues.
Basecamp Changani has it all. The perfect venue for weddings, family get-togethers, romantic short holidays and (business) retreats.
A PLACE TO CALL YOUR HOME, IF JUST FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS
When togetherness not only counts, but makes the difference.
UNFORGETFUL
Family gatherings
It’s about spending quality time together in a relaxed, natural setting. Days are easygoing: spend time by the pool or on the private beach, play sports, and enjoy games. Meals bring everyone together, with fresh, Swahili-inspired dishes and simple moments to connect. Do you have something to celebrate?
CORPORATE EVENTS
Teambuilding
Basecamp Changani is the perfect venue for corporate incentives, offering a peaceful, natural environment that inspires focus and creativity. Teams can engage in a variety of activities, from beach games and hikes to collaborative workshops or strategy sessions in outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. It’s an ideal way to combine productivity with relaxation, all while enjoying the beauty of the coast.
MINDFULNESS
Retreats
Each day begins with yoga, breathwork, or meditation by the ocean, where waves create a grounding atmosphere. Guests move at their own pace, whether relaxing by the pool, walking along the shoreline, journaling, or receiving treatments. Every element nurtures balance, calm, and clarity. Do you want to organise a retreat?

Frequently Asked Questions
The venue is best suited for small to medium-sized groups, with a maximum capacity of approximately 28 overnight stays. For weddings and private events that are booked well in advance, it is also possible to arrange a full buyout of the resort, allowing your group to enjoy exclusive use of all rooms and facilities for a truly private and personalised celebration.
The best time to organise a wedding or event at Basecamp Changani is during the dry season from June to September, when the weather is sunny, warm, and comfortable for outdoor events. January–February is a secondary option, mostly dry but hotter and more humid. Avoid March–May (long rains) and October–December (short, unpredictable rains) unless you have covered facilities. For outdoor weddings, June–September is ideal, and booking 9–12 months in advance is recommended.
Event and wedding planners are very welcome to pre-visit Basecamp Changani to explore the resort and discuss the possibilities for weddings, retreats, or private events. A site inspection allows planners to experience the property’s atmosphere, view the rooms and facilities, and explore potential ceremony and event locations around the resort and the beach. During a pre-visit, our team can also discuss event logistics, accommodation capacity, activities, catering options, and possible event setups to help planners design a smooth and memorable experience for their guests. The resort usually charges a daily fee for the inspection, which will be refunded when the event materialises.
