the river, the bamboo, & the canvas.

Bondumani Bamboo Village opened on Sierra Leone's peninsula in October 2025 — a sanctuary where sustainable architecture meets the sound of the Whale Bay River, and where every wall tells a West-African story.

Rustic A-frame cabins. 24-hour solar power. A restaurant fusing traditional West African flavours with international technique. An outdoor river spa. A yoga clearing among the bamboo. And a curated gallery of contemporary Sierra Leonean art — the same family that runs Bondumani Art in Freetown.

Freetown has many places to stay. There is only one place where the river, the bamboo and the canvas meet.
