Kabalebo Daily Programs
During your stay at the resort, you can take part in various activities organized into daily programs. Each program is built around one main activity. Every evening, the program for the following day is discussed and scheduled as a group.
Depending on the type of package you have booked, you will go on tours either individually or as part of a group. You may choose to join a tour every day or take a day off to relax at the resort or by the pool, surrounded by nature and peace.
Please note: Guests will always start their stay with Program 1 and conclude with Program 8. Activities may vary depending on the weather or other circumstances.
