Chai Retreat: Zanzibar + Safari

Theme: Living with Ihsan

3rd – 11th December 2026

Some places stay with you long after you leave them. For us, Zanzibar is one of those places.

This is our second time returning, but this retreat is not about revisiting a destination. It is about returning to yourself with greater intention, presence, and purpose.

This year’s theme, Living with Ihsan, explores what it means to pursue excellence in the sight of Allah, not perfection, but conscious living rooted in sincerity, mindfulness, and spiritual depth.

Through halaqas, reflection, meaningful conversations, shared experiences, moments of adventure, and quiet rest, we will move through Zanzibar slowly and intentionally.

This retreat is not about escaping life.

It is about returning to it with clarity, purpose, and Ihsan.

And then comes the safari.

A chance to witness the majesty of Allah’s creation up close, untamed, breathtaking, and humbling all at once.

There is something about being surrounded by such vast beauty that puts life back into perspective. It reminds you of the greatness of your Creator and the countless signs of His power, wisdom, and mercy woven throughout the world around us.

Some moments leave a lasting imprint on the heart.

This retreat is created for those moments.

This Retreat is for you if…

  • You long for a life that feels more intentional, grounded and connected to Allah.
  • You are drawn to beauty, nature, meaningful experiences, and adventures that leave a lasting impact.
