We invite you to join Malo Sonko's students on a visit to Abene.

We do not offer "packages" as we want everyone to feel free to organise their ideal trip and stay in Abene. You can schedule your trip and to choose and stay for a short or longer period before, during, after or totally outside the festival period.

Each year the festival generally takes place between 26 December and 2 January. However if you are specifically coming to attend the festival, please do email us so that we can confirm that the dates have not been changed at the last minute by the organisation committee.

We will be trying to answer your queries about the area and give you advice based on our personal extensive experience of splitting our time between Africa and the UK. We will try to offer you a holiday tailored to your taste and needs for accommodation, tuitions and excursions.

Depending on your request, your holiday may include musical classes, including percussions and dance tuitions, excursions and the discovery of the way of life of the locals. The combination of programmes will be yours, whether you would like more or less hours of teaching, more or less relaxing time on the beach, more or less excursions.
