DO NOT FORGET that one of Ebando's constructive actions is to give rehabilitation to local youth in situation of exclusion, training them to traditional "savoir-faire". The association also provides assistance to the elders, according to their requests, to those who have passed on to us the wisdom of Bwiti.
We realize that the cost of a stay is substantial, and this is the reason why we do not do individual inititations any more.
We would suggest that you organize a group stay, ideally in group of three people.

Please note session dates below et contact us for an eventual reservation.
