Dharmagiri Sacred Mountain Retreat
Dharmagiri Sacred Mountain Retreat is a silent meditation centre in the foothills of the Drakensberg escarpment in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Founded in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Dharmagiri offers residential retreats of varying lengths, including silent Vipassana-style programmes. All food is 100% vegan, prepared simply and mindfully. The mountain setting — high grassland, dramatic rock faces, and extraordinary night skies — amplifies the stillness of practice. One of Africa's most serious and respected meditation centres.
