KaraSpace

Our Spaces

One garden compound. Five ways to spend your day.

A café under the trees, desks with good WiFi, rooms to stay the night, a garden made for gathering, and a boutique full of African makers — all in one home in Bugolobi.

Café

Slow coffee, fresh food and tables dressed in African print — in the garden or on the veranda.

Visit the Café

Co-Working

Quiet desks, strong WiFi and garden breaks — a working day that doesn't feel like one.

B&B

A boutique bed and breakfast in leafy Bugolobi — wake up to birdsong and breakfast in the garden.

Make & Create

Ceramics, jewellery, painting and craft — leave with something you made with your own hands.

Weekend Creative Sessions

Curated Experiences

Your event is not just hosted here — it is thoughtfully designed here.

For workshops, retreats and team days, we sit with you from the beginning. What do you want people to feel, learn or achieve? That question shapes the setup, the menu, the flow of the day, the creative exercises — all designed together as one.

The Owner

Meet Ashanut Okille.

After years of facilitating strategy and organisational change, Ashanut Okille realised that people often do their best thinking in places where they feel welcome. KaraSpace grew from that simple idea — a place where conversation, creativity, work and rest belong together, and everyone who walks in feels they belong.

“We came for a meeting room and left with a team that felt like it had been on retreat. Every detail — the food, the garden, the exercises — had been thought about for us.”
