  Descripción

  Join us in celebrating vibrant traditions and artistic expressions while contributing your help at the hostel.
  My name is Christa, and I've had a deep connection with Zimbabwe since 1985. For the past years I've been running a unique ART lodge with my dedicated team. Although we're still small, we're on the path to growth. Currently, we have two full-time workers, Unity and Oliver, who are an incredible couple. Unity handles housekeeping and food, while Oliver takes care of house maintenance and the garden. Additionally, Tawanda assists part-time with guest organization and lodge marketing.
  
  Our guests range from international backpackers and adventurous, young-at-heart travelers to local residents who appreciate our art-inspired lodge. Renowned for our healthy, homemade cuisine and personalized care that creates a home away from home, we strive to be there for our guests whenever they need us. Additionally, we offer tours around the Eastern Highlands to further enrich their experience.
  
  Nestled in the heart of Mutare, our Backpacker hostel provides an authentic African experience. Through collaborations with local artists, we host monthly events, celebrating the vibrant talent of our community.
  
  In addition to managing the hostel, I also oversee a non-profit organization in a nearby township. Our organization operates a kindergarten, a school, and a women's cooperative, serving the local community. Through education and empowerment, we aim to make a positive impact and foster change in the lives of those we support.
